La La La, La, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, friends, welcome to the show.

This is the middle of August right now, and that means something very special is happening for us.

You know, there are many people who call in to raise issues and ask questions to help them out

for themselves to gain information that will help their own spiritual lives, or maybe

deal with some of the doubts they might have as followers of

Christ, or, and or, they have challenges as they're engaging people who don't share

their views, and they are challenging them, trying to put a stone in their shoe, and getting

them to think about Jesus, because we are convinced that Jesus is worth

thinking about.

And when those people call in, a lot of times they'll say, hey, by the way, I'm a strategic

partner.

I'm thrilled to be a strategic partner.

It's great to be a part of your organization.

Of course, these are people who are

part of the bedrock of Stand to Reason financially. These are people that have come alongside of us

and become a kind of semi-permanent part of our team by committing to give, say, $25 or $50 or $100 a month or maybe more, but the idea is every single

month they're committed to do that.

And we love our strategic partners because we count on them so much.

It provides a stable foundation for us every month so we know what's coming in, what we can count on,

and that's why they're called strategic, because they're partners that give us a strategic

advantage. And August is the month where we invite a whole bunch of new people to join ranks with the other strategic partners.

We call it be one of the 100 because we want you to be one of a hundred new strategic partners
