Friends, it's Morgan Snyder, and in the studio with me today is John Dale, and we want

to welcome you to the Wild at Heart Podcast, the week of August 28th, really excited for

where we're headed, but before we go anywhere, we want to invite you together with us to

simply pause, to recover your breath, to come here, and now, into the present moment.

God, we ask that you would attune us to our breath.

We give you our senses. We give you our thinking.

We give you our imagination. We give you whatever it was that led us to this podcast,

the curiosity, the ache, the loneliness, the thirst, the deep need for you that

underlies all of it. Friends, I want to invite you just to take a couple deep breaths as breathing

in the life of God, breathing out everything that you're carrying,

breathing in confidence that God is here, and breathing out the relentless temptation to do life

in your own strife. More of your life into more of our life in this moment, in our story,

in Jesus name, in my heart. JD, good to be with you in the studio. Yeah, fun to be here,

once in a while, about two to three times a year will feature a Become Good Soil podcast on the

Wild at Heart podcast platform, just with a fresh opportunity to give you visibility to one of our

deeper discipleship tracks for the mission of Wild at Heart. And today, we're kicking into a two

part podcast series that was originally aired on Become Good Soil. But there's a little different

angle on this because this is something big and something wild. And I have to say in nearly a quarter

century of our work stewarding what's been entrusted to our care, this is one of the most profound

initiatives we've ever been a part of. And so JD, by way of introduction, there's a story

like in our history where this began, and we didn't even know it would lead to this day,

can you take us into that story? Yeah, so this is wild more. It's got to have been over a decade now
