Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app or go to Spotify.com forward slash podcasters to get started.

memories linger, but with little time to process them. Laundry abounds, dinner, calls. I'm

often short-tempered. I'm often frustrated by things that carry no eternal significance.

I often forget how blessed I am. The liar is tricky. He whispers, what do you have to

offer? Look how broken you are. And yes, I am. I must confess, I often have more questions
