Well, hey there. Welcome to Reasonable Faith of Dr. William Lane Craig.

I'm Kevin Harris, currently deep in the woods of East Texas,

camping out right now. We've been having some really mild weather for this time of year,

but that's about to change and it's going to be quite cold in a couple of days.

And before we get to today's podcast,

want to remind you quickly that time has run in short

for the matching grant campaign that's going on.

Right now, in case you haven't heard about it,

any gifts that you give will be doubled by a group of generous donors.

Whatever you give up to $250,000 will be doubled.

So double your impact right now and to the year giving, if you'd like,

go to reasonablefaith.org, give safely online right there

and continue the ministry of work all over the world of Dr. Craig and

Reasonable Faith. Thanks for being here and thanks so much for giving.
