Hello, friends. It's Sean Rupier, host of the Latter-Day Lives podcast.

First off, I want to say I am so sorry that we have just completely disappeared for the last several weeks.

Several of you have reached out to me through social media or email, asking what's happening, and I just apologize.

We have been trying to figure out really exactly what the best path is for the show.

The show actually started, what, four years ago in July or was it five? I guess five years ago in July. So next month we'll make five years ago.

We made more than 200 episodes, which is amazing. I got to meet incredible people. It's just been it's been so great. And so many of you, the listeners, have just been with us that entire time. And what a blessing that has been for us also. We've had, as I mentioned on the show before, well over a million

downloads now, and it has just been awesome. One of the things I learned many years ago that I love

and something that a dear friend recently reminded me of is that there are seasons for just about

everything and seasons change. And the reason that I had come on and said,

well, we're not going to do it every single Monday. We'll just try to get it out regularly is

things have gotten very busy for me between work and family obligations and my calling and

everything else. It just was starting to feel very difficult to continue to get episodes out every week.

And then everything went a little bit crazy.

You know, I got COVID and all of a sudden I had crazy amounts of travel.

Literally for the month of June, I will be home for a grand total of six days because of work.

And my son graduated high school,

and we were dealing with that and some personal travel.

And I just kept trying to figure out

what the best path was for the show.

And as I prayed about it, I kept getting this answer

that the season for the show has passed

and that it's probably time to move on and do some other things.
