Hey, Director Doug here. Happy New Year.

2025 has truly been an amazing year for Discovery Mountain.

This past year, we set new records for how many people listen to our program.

In fact, Discovery Mountain has more listeners than 99.5% of all other downloaded podcasts globally. That's right. We are in the top half percent

of all podcasts worldwide. God has truly blessed our program. Thank you for tuning in, for telling

your friends, and for being such loyal listeners, your support means the world to us.

It's also been a year of big change for the Director Doug household.

My wife and I moved on to a sailboat that we spent years rebuilding and sailed her all the way

from Ontario, Canada, down to the Bahamas.

And with the help of modern satellite technology,

I was able to continue to direct and edit the program from the boat.

We didn't miss a beat.

It was an amazing experience.

And as you're listening to this, we are back on the boat to continue exploring.

If you'd like a peek into our saving life,

head over to the Director Doug page on our website. I put together a short video about all our boating adventures.

And speaking of adventures, I'm going to play for you my favorite mini adventure from 2025.

My favorite mini is in fact about a grand expedition to Antarctica that didn't go exactly as planned.

In fact, it could have been a disaster, but it's an inspiring story of leadership, faith,

and promises kept. My favorite mini for 2025 is called the Not Boring Project. I know you'll enjoy it.

Thanks again for being part of the Discovery Mountain family. Here's to another year of faith,

adventure, and great stories.
