Hey and welcome to Happy Grant.

Hey and welcome to the Happy Grant podcast.

I am your fill-in host, Barnibas Piper, here as always with my co-host and partner in radio, Ronnie Martin, while Ted is visiting family this week,

so he is out and so we're taking it without him.

And so my apologies in advance for my unprofessional transitions and my general lack of skill at hosting

He's the he's the man. I'm just I'm just his backup and hopefully I can get us to the finish line.

Pipe, you're going to do great.

Let me just, let me give you some encouragement right off the bat.

So my wife just recently listed, listened to something you hosted with, I think it was Russell Moore and Bethmore at

your church and she just was going on I mean rather annoyingly on and on about

how well you did and what a great host you were.

I know this is not the same thing.

I know it's not a one-to-one.

So what you're saying is you're not Bethmore.

Well, I'm not Bethmore or Russellmore.

And but you're still Barnabas Piper, so let's just see what you can, let's

you see what you, what kind of magic trick you can pull out of your hat for this one.

We'll see what I can do and oddly enough, what we're going to do on this episode is very similar to what I had the chance to do then, which is field questions from listeners for a podcast thing, and then throw it to somebody else to talk about so that's that's how

this is going to go today I mean that's really what hosting is right yes exactly

it's yeah I don't have to have any opinions I just need to move to the next thing. But before we get into that, let me highlight a couple of our sponsors. So this is going to come as a surprise to you. Our first sponsor today is you because you have released some brand new Christmas music or are releasing some brand new Christmas music depending on, you know, when this all releases and I think you should tell listeners about it and where they can get it.

I appreciate that pipe. It's actually not Christmas music. It's just being released around Christmas time.

Oh, I saw the artwork and it was very wintery and felt festive so I assumed Christmas
