Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona,

visit real faith.com, where you'll find study guides to go along with each sermon series as he

preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily devotions, free

e-books and more. Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon.

Well, Pastor Mark, your last sermon of the year,

and we're in Nehemiah Chapter 13,

finishing that great book of the Bible.

Truth is, I'm up in the mountains with the family

getting a little bit of a post holiday

recovery and break hope you are getting some good downtime as well and had a great

holiday season and didn't feel like heading into the studio.

So the only quiet place with the family the size of mine

is to go outside.

And yes, this is still Arizona.

You can get a mile plus high,

and the temperatures and the seasons really change it's quite beautiful

and this might be a short serving because it's cold outside man it's as chilly as a Trump

Biden double date but we're going to power through.

Where we find ourselves is at the end of the year and I just want to say as well, thanks to everyone who

prays for us, partners with us, and if you'd like to join us and helping us getting Bible teaching out to the world

next year, best thing you can do is just go to real faith.com and set up recurring giving.
