Hello, everyone. This is Brent Billings.

Coming to you at an unusual time for unfortunate reasons.

And we are so sorry to share that Josh Bossay has passed away.

We're sending out our regularly scheduled Baymont Messenger email at the same time that this episode comes out.

But we know that not all of our podcast listeners are connected in that way. And so I'm also basically just

recording that email so that you are aware. So here's how that goes.

You probably know Josh Bosse.

He's one of the beloved co-hosts of the Baymont podcast.

We've talked about him a lot in the last few years on the podcast because of his liver transplant at the Mayo Clinic in 2022, his subsequent

recovery. We recently updated listeners who are caught up to our most recent episodes about

his battle with lymphoma. That was episode 465, if you want to hear that.

And so with unbelievably heavy hearts, we have to share that he passed away peacefully on Friday evening, November 28th.

He ushered in Sabbath with his final breaths, and Sabbath ushered him home.

For those who know and have heard Josh's passion and love for the Sabbath, you will know how deeply moving this image is.

When Sophia, Josh's wife, shared this perspective, shared the time of his

death. It gripped us. And we're reminded of Josh's words in episode 405 that once you fall in

love with Shabbat, once you see what's really there,

you can find it wherever.

You can find a way to get there.

To connect with it, to practice it, the spirit makes all kinds of ways.

So what a comfort it is for all of us missing him here to know he has found the most beautiful

connection with Shabbat in the arms of Jesus.
