Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app, or go to Spotify.com forward slash podcasters to get started.

fessing, milk spilling, teenagers talking, daddy praying, meal time. We live in a culture

that has largely forgotten the power of a shared meal. There is something missing when

we rush from one hurry day to the next. We think we're saving time to rush through the

drive-through again, but really we're not saving anything. Days turn to weeks, weeks to

months, months to years. Where we spend our time is a window into our hearts in an indicator
