Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the OnScript podcast. This is Matt. Oh slash on script. Hi, everyone.

Welcome back to the OnScript podcast.

This is Matt.

I almost said Matt Bates.

This is Matt Lynch.

I'm a co-host of the podcast along with Matt Bates, who co-founded the podcast with me.

And Drew Johnson, Aaron Hime, Chris Tilling, and Amy Brown Hughes.

We're really glad you've decided to listen in, and we appreciate all of you.

Before we get going, I want to mention that there's an opportunity to win one of Matt Bates,

one of three copies of Matt Bates' new book, Gospel Allegiance, and the way you enter that is before February 5th on one of your favorite

social media sites, copy a picture of the book, and then hashtag OnScript Podcasts.

And, you know, on the site, I'm butchering this.

But you know what I mean? You add that to wherever you're copying the site I'm butchering this but you know what I mean you add that to wherever

you're copying the picture and you'll enter the running to receive a free copy and you help

us get the word out about OnScript as well and if you're wondering if virtual bonus points

question as you post to your favorite social media site and answer the question why is on
