Hi Friends! It's the June 25, 2023 sermon, based on Matthew 10:24-39.

Hello Friends! Another "It's not a sermon!"
I tried recording via Zoom with this episode and it didn't work out great. As a heads up, there's some sketchy audio between minutes 7 and 8 (and a few other places). I understand if it bothers you and we apologize! However we did want you to have access to our conversation even if the audio isn't perfect.
Just a note: We will not be recording this way in the future.
