Hey, this is David Platt. I want to invite you to join me on our new podcast, Everyday Radical.

We're having honest conversations about the real challenges of following Jesus and what it

looks like to make him known in your neighborhood and among all nations.

If you want practical guidance and encouragement to follow Jesus every day

with all your heart for His glory in all the world, subscribe and listen today.
