So I was sitting in my office early this morning at home where I do my praying and my writing

and reading.

It's kind of my little hobbit hole, my little monastic sanctuary there, the hermitage.

And I was asking Jesus about today's podcast and what he had for us.

And he said very clearly, my joy, my joy.

And I thought, wow, right, we need a big, deep gulp of your joy, God, man, do we?

So friends, welcome back to the Wild at Hard Podcast here in the week of October 25th.

All around most of the country right now, except for those of you that live in those cities

where you have no seasons whatsoever, friends are still surfing in Southern California, crazy

stuff like that.

But here it's gorgeous.

The leads and the cold mornings and with me in the studio is Alan this week.

How you doing?

Good man.

It's good to be with you.

Yeah.

Sitting in my office, giving some reflection and we do that.

We actually do that quite a bit.

We don't just assume what our listeners need.

We do a lot of listening prayer for everything around decision making here in the ministry

and asking him, what do we need this week?

And he was so quick to say, my joy, you need my joy.
