Please stay tuned for a brief message from Jimmy Aiken.

This week we celebrate Epiphany, the moment when the light of Christ was revealed to the world.

Here at StarQuest, that light shines through the work we do each week,

more than 50 hours of explore in modern culture through the lenses of faith and reason.

Our Advent campaign ends at the close of Epiphany Week and your monthly support

is still being matched up to $15,000. Join or increase your support by $10 this week and if you're

among our first 400 patrons, you'll receive a mysterious world sticker signed by Dom Betnelly and

me. Visit sqpn.com forward slash give to make your gift before epiphany. Thank you. Okay, howdy folks.
