called the Chaos Dragon, and because it's such a big theme, we've decided to do two separate

question and response episodes about it. We're currently taking questions for the first Q&R

0:31.2

to our team. We're so looking forward to hearing from you. Here's the episode.

1:42.7

people judging and leading them, and she loves to sit under a tree between high place and house of

1:48.4

God on the mountain of fruitfulness. Deborah is a new Eve tasked with striking down the bad
