Hello,

welcome back to another episode of theology in the raw.

I am so excited about this episode.

And not for reasons that you may think,

if I was going to have like Beth Moore or Francis Chan or Pope

Francis or Donald Trump or Barack Obama on the show,

then I would probably introduce it by saying,

I'm so excited, I got like Barack Obama on the show

and blah, blah, blah, blah, I got the celebrity.

I'd be so stoked about that. But I'm super excited about this episode for an

entirely different reason. I have on the show the one and only Luke Thompson

now most of you are not going to recognize the name Luke Thompson,

and that's why I'm so excited about this episode.

Let me give you just like really, really brief backstory.

I met Luke several years ago on social media. He was and is an avid

listener to the podcast. He at the time lived in North Dakota, now he lives in Minneapolis.

He is a stay-at-home dad.

He's got a few kids, got a wife, and he's just a totally normal dude and you're like why the heck do you have

him on your podcast a good question because Luke is an amazing guy he He's a normal guy. He is you.

Quite honestly, I sometimes get tired of the rat race of always trying to get some celebrity person some big name some person that's

gonna retweet this episode do tons of tons of followers and I can get more people following the

podcast I mean honestly at the end of the day I can care less about all that stuff.
