Hello, and welcome to the best of my Drop podcast. I'm your host, Pastor Mike, and this is my grandson, Miles, who's on day three of his life right now. So I am, I'm here. And everybody else is there. And I'm so glad that you've all joined us to for this episode.

We've got some good ground to cover.

And Miles is tuning in.

So he wants to learn all about the Bible and God's Word.

And I just wanted to say hi and share the joy.

There's a lot of joy here.

So with that, Emily, why don't you introduce our guests?

Hello, guests. Yes, hello. With us today in our studio here. So with that, Emily, why don't you introduce our guests? Hello, guests.

Yes, hello. With us today in our studio here, pastors John Annenson and Brian Brown from her Hope

Elam campus. Hi, guys. Hello. Thanks for being here. They're older than three days old,

like my little friend. On the second day of Miles' life yesterday, we said, what were you born yesterday?

And he was.

So I can't tell that joke anymore.

That's great.

Very sweet moments you're having.

John and Brian are pastors out at Hope Elam.

And that is one of Hope's many campuses around the Des Moines area.

And we are just so excited about what God's doing out there and so excited to have you, too, with us here today.

If you live in the area or you're interested in being involved in just a really unique and wonderful and blessed ministry.

Wherever you live, you need to check out Hope Elam.

God is on the move at Hope Elam, and that's in large part to the faithfulness of these two

following the will of God's Spirit.
