0:00.0	The snow is falling, and it's getting colder now, soon that time of year.
0:10.0	Welcome to The Deconstructionist podcast.
0:12.2	I'm your host, John Williamson, and I'm here with a special Christmas bonus episode.
0:17.4	This is a re-release, so for those of you who heard it long time ago when it was first
0:21.6	released back in 2017, then this will be a refresher for you, but I think a needed one. For those of
0:26.9	you who have never heard this episode and or have never heard Dr. Alexander Shia, then this will be a
0:33.8	treat for you. Dr. Shia is a dear friend of the podcast and has always been just
0:39.0	an incredible guest. He always brings just such wisdom and beauty to the podcast. And this was a
0:45.3	special one for us. He came on back in 2017. I think we released this one, December 20th, so a few days
0:50.1	before Christmas. And just absolute favorite of ours. And so you'll hear Adam on here.
0:56.1	This is, again, this is a re-release from back in the day. And so enjoy that. But Dr. Shia,
1:01.5	if you're not familiar, his seminal work is a book called Heart and Mind, the Four
1:06.6	Gospel Journey for Radical Transformation. You can check that out at his website, quadratos.com,
1:12.3	Q-U-A-D-R-A-T-O-S.com. You can also find it on Facebook as well, but it's a brilliant book.
1:20.7	It really dives into the four gospels, why, perhaps why there are four, and what each gospel sort of
1:25.7	represents. And then he's also a regular tour guide on the Camino,
1:30.3	the Pilgrimage Trail in Spain, and has released a book on that as well that we've talked
1:35.6	about on the podcast previously. So check it out. All that will be in the show notes. So again,
1:41.4	Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. We'll be back with part two of our most recent episode here in a couple days. So you get two episodes in one week. But Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever that looks like to you and yours. I know it's not always an easy holiday for everyone and Christmas and family means very different things to very different people.
2:01.6	And so my love goes out to you guys. Thank you so much as always for listening to the podcast.
2:07.0	You have no idea what it means to me to be able to continue to do this podcast year after year.
2:11.8	And so thank you. And without further ado, I'm going to let Adam take it away. Here's Adam.
