0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Pastor Mike Drop podcast. My name is Mike Householder, and I'm joined by my co-host Emily Langpaul. Hello, Emily.
0:17.7	Hello. How are you? I'm really good. Good. I'm doing well.
0:21.5	I'm really excited about this episode because we're joined by a couple of people near and dear to my heart.
