| 0:21.5 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. Before we jump in, I want to thank my friends over at Samaritan Ministries for sponsoring today's episode. I have two questions for you as we jump in. The first one is, how are you paying for your family's health care? And the second one is, how is that working out for you? If it's working perfectly, then great. You probably don't need to listen to this. But if not, then listen closely because I do have a solution, a biblical solution, and it's called Samaritan Ministries. Samaritan Ministries is a community of Christians paying one another's medical |
| 0:26.3 | bills. It's not insurance, but it is assurance that you're part of a health care sharing |
| 0:31.1 | community where members care for one another spiritually and financially when a medical |
| 0:36.2 | need arises. Here's how it works. There's no networks. So when a medical need arises. Here's how it works. |
