Welcome to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We're going to do a few episodes this week, I think. They're going to be shorter. So we're going to do more of them, but they're going to be shorter. I hope that's okay with you guys. I know some of you like the longer ones, you tell me,

John, that was too short. Others of you don't like it when I do a long one. You want shorter ones.

So we're going to make the people that like shorter ones

happy this week and part of it is I'm just short on time there's a few subjects I

want to get to but I was thinking about this this morning

20-20 has had more cancellations I mean there's no Christmas parties. There's no, well, there's no like office Christmas parties.

Hopefully you're still doing Christmas. I know in some states that's controversial now, but you know outdoor activities like concerts

and county fairs have been canceled this year and yet somehow in the midst of that

it's still been I think the busiest year and I'm not joking about this really has been I think the busiest year of my life and I'm just I feel like I'm traveling all over the place I got like 1500 things going on in my head and a lot of projects many

of which I or some of which at least I haven't even mentioned on this podcast

yet because I know better than to do that. I don't want to, certain things I'll tease and I'll tell you

if I'm sure that they're going to happen, relatively sure, but other things I want to make sure

that things are falling into place before I announce them. Anyway, there's just a lot going on, and that's a good thing but at the same

time it does make my schedule very nuts and and so anyway it was just more convenient

for me to give you some short episodes.

And we're going to do one right now.

This is the first one of the week on Tom Rush, a trustee

at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary,

because he just put a video out last week,

a whistle-blowing video that I think is actually very significant.

And it's gotten a lot of views.

I haven't looked, I think I looked yesterday and it was over 8,000 or so, but it's interesting that the usual suspects have not really said anything about it.
