Hello, welcome to the Pastor Mike Drop podcast. I'm with my co-host, Emily.

Hello. And we have two great guests today. Yes, we do with us back again this season.

Pastor Jeremy Johnson. Yeah, it's so good to be here. We're going to dive into a great topic today.

I couldn't be more excited about it. Yeah. The topic is grace. We're talking about grace. And full disclosure, because, you know, we try to keep it very real,

not just in this podcast, but at Lutheran Church of Hope. We do. This is our third effort to

record this particular episode, which normally, I will say, we just run clean live and

it is what it is. And if we make a little mistake here, there, we just keep it in.

You see it. Yeah, yeah. We've had some pretty major technical snafus and difficulties and issues.

And so how beautifully ironic and poetic is it that here we are talking about grace. And if anybody needs grace, it's the four of us in our production crew.

And now everyone wants to know what did they do.

It's just one of those things that sometimes you plug something in, it doesn't work.

And no problem.

But grace for everybody, grace for all of you, we're tuning in.

Jeremy, welcome.

And we also have our other wonderful guests.

Yes, Chaplain Anna Eckley. Thank you for having me. I'm happy to be here. And your name?

My name is Anna. And it means grace. So it's perfect that I'm here.

You know, I'd love to say, I didn't know that, but now I've heard that three times in the last few minutes.

And so here we go.

This time it's going to stick.

Yeah.

Right.
