Hello and welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by our sponsor,

Great Commission Design. Great Commission Design is a web service for churches building and maintaining

attractive and easy to navigate websites. Their services include building your church website from

the ground up, taking photographs of your church, the service, and even your staff.

Perhaps most importantly, they update and help add new information and content to your website

like your sermons at no additional cost. Pricing is based on monthly service and starts at $25

a month for churches with an average attendance of 120 people or less.

Listeners of the Thinking Fellows podcast can receive three months of service for free when they

sign up for a year. Simply visit www.gretecommissioneddesign.com forward slash thinking fellows

or follow the link that you can find in the show notes

so to start off the show today i'd like to give some thanks as we're in the spirit of

thanksgiving first of all i'd like to say thank you to all the donors who make the thinking

fellows and every other project at 1517 possible. We also want to thank our listeners who have

shared the show with friends, family, and their churches, helping the Thinking Fellows

podcast reach over 30,000 unique downloads a month. In October, that meant that 1,000 downloads

every day. This is really big news for a show that only releases four episodes a month.

We also want to say thank you to our international listeners.

The top country outside the U.S. who have listeners to the Thinking Fellows podcast are

Canada, Australia, the UK, France, Germany, and Norway.

Finally, in the theme of Giving Tuesday,

we would like to ask everybody who has been impacted by our show

or any other project at 1517, please consider donating.
