Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Faith Adjacon.

I'm your host and resident Bible scholar Aaron Moon.

And joining me today, it's Evan Dodson.

But I have noticed that Touched by an Angel is now on Netflix,

and I think this deserves a faith-adjacent pilot program. So ask, and it shall be given to you.

Ask and you shall receive, Liza. Exactly. So classic name and claim it right there.
