Hi, Holy posters. This is Sky, a reminder that today's podcast is being brought to you by With God Daily, the daily devotional for people who hate daily devotionals.

Later on in this episode, I'm going to interview David Kinnaman from Barna about his new book Faith for Exiles, where he outlines,

what is it that gives young people a resilient faith, which only represents 10% of young adults in the church today.

One of the key markers he points out is that people who have a strong resilient faith, especially young people, note that they have their identity rooted in an experience of intimacy with Christ.

But more simply, they're people who pray, and they pray in a way that brings them into communion with God.

That really describes exactly why I created the With God Daily devotional. It helps a smartphone generation learn how to commune deeply with God.

We do that by taking them into deeper matters of faith and culture. We look at scripture in a meaningful way, with just a few paragraphs of reflection, and then links the passages of the Bible that you can read on your own, and finally ending with an historic prayer of the church from an early church mother or father or other historical figure that can guide you in your own sense of prayer and communion.

It's one of those devotional that stays away from the sentimentality and the sappiness. If you've grown up in the church and kind of roll your eyes at the way a lot of it works, this is the devotional for you.

It's thoughtful, it's smart, it's engaged, and it's simple. You can sign up at WithGodDaily.com where you can get the email devotional, or you can download the app from Android or the iTunes App Store. That's WithGodDaily.com.

Hey there, it's Phil Vissier. Welcome back to the Holypost Podcast. I'm here with Skyjatani. Hello, Hi Sky, and Christian Taylor. Hey, I'm here. You're here. So, Christian, let's listen to theme song.

And sometimes Christian. And now that we're back from the theme song, hey, where have you been? I just got back from Colorado hiking your annual weeklong hiking expedition.

I wasn't necessarily hiking. I was driving through Garden of the Gods at sunset. That's a thing. That's a thing. But no, I was not. I was screening the girl who wore freedom. How many times did you screen it?

Four. Four times. And it went well. The most exciting part for me is that some of our dear podcast listeners showed up. I want to give a shout out to Josh and Rachel Lewis and Josh's mom. They came to the Colorado spring screening as did a net Johnson and Scott who said Christian, we have to apologize to you.

But we do need to let you know that our child absolutely loves news of the butt. Oh, my goodness. A teenager 30. He's a pastor. I think it's a dog like four or seven. That seems to be your target. So anyway, I really appreciate you guys coming. Josh was the one that drew our plinky Pete. He was a graphic artist guy. It's not there right now. He had actually met you at focus on the family. He said, okay. So anyway, yeah, that went great. Our next screening.

Coming up is in Clark's Phil Tennessee on September 22nd. Okay. So okay. And you need any more help? I actually really need some volunteers. I'm really. Yeah. Yeah. Calling out to the podcast audience. We are in need of social media volunteers. Okay.

Assistant editing volunteers. I need a fundraiser desperately. Somebody who loves to fundraise. And I'll be willing to share a percentage of whatever they bring in. Oh, okay. And yes. And how do they contact you? Yeah, they contact me at Christian at Normandy Stories.com. Also, you can go to Normandy Stories.com to see our screenings list. We're in after Tennessee. We're in Brands, we're in New York. We're in Washington DC. We're in Branson, Missouri. And then in Southern New York.

And California area. Yeah. So check that out. Just you and your station wagon with a projector in the back. It's about what is that how it goes. That's about what it is. It's kind of like the the.

The Jesus film. The crews. The train is on Africa with the Jesus film with a generator and a projector and a bed. And I pick up whatever crew is nearby. They all kind of help you. You don't look busy because we're a virtual crew. So I'm like, hey, we're near you. And but the whole point of this. You asked me earlier.

Really is to raise funds so that we can finish the film. We're in the rough cut stage. And so we can still use donations Normandy Stories.com slash donate. Okay. All right.

You know how we used to talk fairly often about the end of Western civilization as we know it. And we haven't talked about that. I don't know. And that's crazy because it's really closer to ending now than ever before. So here we are. How did we lose that? We're still here. Play infected prairie dogs have shut down parts of a Denver suburb. Oh, I read this.

I read this and I was in Colorado. I did. If there's anything that smells like the end of Western civilization.

Sections of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge were closed in late July as a precautionary measure after the discovery of the disease. What disease you ask? Oh, nothing.
