You're listening to the Bible for Normal People, the only God-ordained podcast on the internet.

I'm Pete Ends.

And I'm Jared Bias.

Hey folks, before we jump into the episode, we want to talk to you our listeners about the amazing things that have happened this past year

and the great plans we have for the year ahead.

So, I guess this serves Jared right as our official announcement for our what, our fall campaign happening this week.

Yep, so last year our campaign centered around accessibility.

And this year we'll continue that focus.

It's one of our core values after all, but we're adding a focus on curiosity, which is another one of our core values.

We've heard our listeners and supporters asking about broader questions about faith that go beyond the Bible.

So, we want to create even more content and spaces for people to explore these broader questions.

And so, we have some plans to do it.

Yeah, and here's a few of those plans.

First and foremost, we're going to keep creating free and accessible content across all of our online platforms with the help of our growing nerds and residents program.

Now, in addition to, you know, boring Jared and me doing all this stuff, we've enlisted the help of some of our friends to put content out there as well.

And we want those who can't afford access to paid courses to have it all for free.

Yeah, so second, we want to continue to support pastors by offering courses and coaching through our pastors for normal people program.

And finally, if you haven't already seen the announcements on social media next year, we are launching a brand spanking new podcast called Faith for Normal People.

Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo.

This is our way of helping folks address those larger questions of faith that go beyond the Bible.

But don't worry, Bible for Normal People isn't going anywhere.

This is in addition to Bible for Normal People.
