Hey, happy summer. It's Owen Strand. I'm back. Except right now, Grace and Truth is on a short summer break. There's a lot going on in my life. My family is moving from one state to another, and we may even be enjoying just a few days of this summer. And so this episode is one we have run previously, but it's one that our audience, my audience, has responded to very strongly, and so we're representing it to you in hopes that it will be a blessing

Until I return, enjoy your summer, and God bless you.

He's just a brother who is up to many good things.

Redeemer is an excellent church out there in the Phoenix area.
