Hey y'all, welcome back to Becoming the People.

This is Prentice Hemphill, and this is one of my bi-monthly many episodes.

Is it bi-monthly or is it bi-weekly?

Every other week I'm doing these many episodes where I'm talking directly to you all about what's on my mind and heart,

how I'm processing the world, and anything that comes up in our discussions online that feel

relevant, compelling that we want to talk about here. This is the space for that. As always,

you can join us in our

Patreon community, becoming the people over at Patreon. And we're hoping to just make that a space

of lively discussion, sharing, questions, gathering of people that are, you know, like-minded

and trying to figure out who we become and how do we get there in this time.

So please join us over there if you have not.

And, yeah, please look out for these episodes.

We're going to still do our guest episodes every other week.

And then in between those will be many episodes with me

and maybe sometimes with a in-house guest, surprise guest,

to watch out for.

So join us there.

And, you know, honestly, I didn't even know how to get started this week. Because I had so much over the last couple weeks, there's

just been so much happening. And I bet I'm not alone in that feeling. But I was like,

what is it that that's really rising to the top for me that I really want to share, I really want to talk about?

And it's, it was a little bit of a challenge to put some words around it because I feel pretty unprocessed and raw and just continuing to situate myself and everything that's happening.

But so there's that.
