Hello and thanks for stopping by for today's Destin for Victory with Pastor Paul Shepard.

Coming up next, a beautiful picture of what true perseverance looks like.

But first, there's a message all of us that Destin for Victory want to share with you.

As you may know, the summer season is often a tough time for media ministries.

Pastor Paul and I talked about

this on many occasions, and I asked him if it was true that summertime was particularly tough

undestined for victory from a financial standpoint. And here's what he had to say. Yes, it is. And it's

simply because people love us and they want to support us, but sometimes we're

so glad to be through the winter and the spring, and we're now in the summer, and we're

ready to take some vacation time and do some things that we've longed to do for months.

And we get to do it, whether it's travel or whatever, but I just want to encourage and remind

our listeners that if we're going to keep on preaching the word throughout the year, then the

support is absolutely necessary because I have found out that the bills don't take vacations.

They keep coming every single month.

And so we have to be ready to meet them with the finances necessary.

And again, it's not about the money.

It's what the money does.

Your giving allows us to keep on declaring truth that people need to hear day in and day out,

month in and month out.

So at every season, even in the summer, we get to keep preaching timeless truths if we have

the financial support.

I want to thank all of our partners, all of our donors, everyone who make sure to meet
