| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. This is Kurt Frankum with Leading Saints, and this is our monthly |
| 0:05.4 | Leading Saints Live. Now, it should be noted that I'm actually going to push this to |
| 0:12.0 | the podcast feed every week, and because I think it's the struggle that we're in right now, |
| 0:19.3 | as a Leading Saints organization, is combining these two worlds as far as the podcast, which has been sort of our flagship for so many years. |
| 0:30.6 | And then Zion Lab, which is quickly becoming our flagship platform and experience in the leading saints world. |
| 0:39.0 | So if you're listening to this and you're like, Kurt, |

| 1:46.9 | And or you can just go there and search for Leading Saints. |
| 1:49.7 | You'll see their familiar red logo and you'll download the Zion Lab. |
