Pastor Mark Driscoll here, welcoming you to the podcast. I've been teaching the Bible for more than 30 years,

0:07.9

and real faith is an extraordinary ministry with a great team. It's not a big team, but they're making a big difference at a big impact. And we'd love you to preferably consider partnering with us, especially with a one-time or ongoing recurring gift.

All the proceeds will help us get Bible teaching out, and our hope, prayer, and goal is next

0:28.6

year to get to total reach, impressions included, of a billion plus people hearing about Jesus
