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.

easy for us to talk about the warnings and the problems and the, you know, sin issues

that the Bible addresses and how to live out God's purposes in our life. But sometimes we

forget that the Bible tells us to enjoy life also. In Psalm 27, it says, then my head will

be exalted above the enemies who surround me at his tabernacle. I will sacrifice with

shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord. In Psalm 118, verse 24, it says,
