Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has

a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and

even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's

how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your

phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today,

and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available.

And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and

some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters

app, or go to Spotify.com forward slash podcasters to get started.

in years to come. Some of you ask where I get my ideas for the devotions that I do with you

every day. And most of them come from years worth of journals that I find just sitting around.

So sometimes I'll open up to a journal that, you know, is 15 years old. And there's a verse

in there that the Lord has been teaching me about. And so I'll share it with you. And sometimes

they come from just the daily reading of the word that I'm doing or from something that a friend

has told me or I've heard in church or something like that. But more often than not, I find that
