Hello and welcome to the Pastor Mike Drop podcast.

I'm so excited for this episode.

I just want to dive right in, but we should probably do some courtesies.

And I'm going to introduce my co-host, Emily.

Hello.

Welcome again, Emily.

And would you please introduce our pastor panel.

Welcome again to Pastor Amanda Neppel.

Hi, Amanda.

Hi.

Good to see you everybody again.

And Richard Webb.

It's also good to be on and looking forward to this.

It's going to be good.

Yeah, we've got two of Hope's finest are here, finest theologians.

Amanda leads our entire adult ministry, which includes

discipleship ministries here at Hope. So she's a deep thinker. And Dr. Richard Webb, well, you know,

if you know him, you already know this. If you don't know them, if you're new to the podcast,

it's brilliant, man. And so we're just blessed to have both of you here.

And we have some really good ground to cover.

We're going to talk about suffering, some other things, and sex all in one podcast.

So, you know, that ought to keep people with us to the end.
