| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to the Dad Tired podcast. Glad that you're here. Before we jump in, I want to thank my friends over at Samaritan's Purse for sponsoring today's episode. |
| 0:07.5 | Samaritan's Purse does this thing called Operation Christmas Child, which has been reaching millions of children each year with the good news of Jesus Christ through simple shoebox gifts. |
| 0:16.7 | They have reached more than 209 million children since 1993 in over 170 different countries and territories all over the world. |
| 0:27.4 | And they've done it through a shoebox gift. |
| 0:29.6 | Anyone can do this. |
| 0:30.6 | Anyone can send one of these shoebox gifts out. |
| 0:32.9 | You can do them as a family, as a small group, a church group, a community group, homeschool group, |
| 0:37.7 | your neighborhood, it doesn't matter. Anyone can do these. You can send it out and you will send |
| 0:41.8 | joy to a child in need. And it also, beyond just giving a great gift to kids in need all over |
| 0:47.2 | the world, it is setting them up to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and be plugged into the |
| 0:52.2 | local discipleship, which is why I'm a huge fan of Samaritan |
| 0:55.3 | purse. They use this as an opportunity as a key to unlock the door to get into these kids' lives, |
| 1:01.4 | the parents' lives, and they will be able to share the gospel and get them plugged into local |
| 1:05.7 | churches. You can pack shoeboxes full of toys and school supplies, personal care items, |
| 1:10.5 | and then you'll drop it off |
| 1:11.5 | at a drop off location during National Collection Week, which is November 13th through the 20th. |
| 1:17.1 | So you got to do these quick. Like today, make sure that you sign up to get to be able to get |
| 1:21.5 | a box filled up. You can also do this online. If you feel like you're too busy, you don't have |
| 1:25.8 | the time to fill a box online. You can do this online. Again, I highly recommend that you do it in person with the people |
| 1:31.8 | around you, but if you can't, do it online so that at least can get done that way. The good news |
| 1:36.6 | of Jesus Christ is going to be shared alongside your gift. They're going to be invited into a |
| 1:40.1 | discipleship program. You can learn how to pack a shoebox. You can view all the gift suggestions, |
