Side Note: Listen... we don't know what happened with the audio --we do realize it sounds like our host has a bit of a lisp... (not that there's anything wrong with that.) It seems to go away in portions of the episode and we're not sure if it was a mic issue or in editing. Hopefully, it is not too distracting as you listen and pray along! And prayerfully - it will fix itself by next weeks' recording!

Be blessed,
