Hey, Justin here.

Wanted to take a sec before we jump into the story this time to say a couple of things.

First, make sure you listen through the end of this episode.

I have big news for you that I've been dying to share for months now.

You are going to love it and it's coming up right after the story.

month and next and I'm already making plans for season three and beyond, but in order to make

that happen, we've got to grow the team. If patronage continues to grow, we can make Holy Ghost stories financially viable

for me to continue devoting my energy to it in a full-time way. That means more stories for you,

more moments in the worlds of these women and men from Scripture, and more time with Yahweh.

I love spending this time just being with Him, and it's been a joy hearing from so many of you who love being with him in these stories too.

So let's keep this going, shall we?

There are so many more stories to tell.

With that in mind, I've set an audacious goal of 200 patrons by the end of this season, 200 of us standing shoulder to shoulder and saying,
