| 0:15.7 | However, if our content has been a blessing to you, would you consider blessing our Kentucky neighbors? Rather than a donation |
| 0:22.7 | to Christ for Kentucky, the best way to thank us for the podcast is your tax deductible |
| 0:27.3 | contribution to our campaign to relieve the medical debt burden upon Kentucky's most vulnerable. |
| 0:33.7 | A link to those details can be found in the description of this podcast. |
| 0:38.2 | Thanks for considering, and we hope you enjoy this episode of every square inch. |
