Welcome to The Rap Report. I'm your host, Andrew Rappaport, the Executive Director of Striving for Eternity and the

Christian Podcast Community, of which this podcast is a proud member of the over 50 vetted podcasts.

You will find something you can enjoy to listen to at christianpodcastcommunity .org

So, this episode will be short and, well, maybe not so sweet to our devoted listeners.

Why? Well, it is short because I want to give you a quick update, and that is the fact that I am going to take a short break from the podcasting of this podcast for a couple of weeks.

Why? Well, for one thing, I'm going to be traveling for several weeks, and I will be attending a very important conference, the

Cessationist Conference in Kootenai, Idaho, with Pastor Jim Osmond, who is going to be hosting it.

We'll be recording for the film, the Cessationist film that is coming out.

That's the purpose of this conference is to get interviews and also educate people on the doctrine of the cessation of gifts.

And so I'm very busy trying to make sure I get a very good and powerful message delivered at that conference, be prepared for the interviews for the film, and want to make sure that that comes across well.

And so, with all the travel and whatnot, instead of trying to pre -record several weeks of episodes,

I wanted to just give you guys an update and say I'm going to take a short break.

Give me a break, man! Listen, I haven't taken a break from this podcast for years.

We're over, what, 275 episodes? I don't even remember. But many, many episodes for many, many years, and I have not taken a break of this episode.

We have given you good content for years. It's the first time

I'm taking a break. It won't be long, but I will return in December, and I will admit, in December, I'm going to be really busy because I'm going to be doing a lot of travel between January all the way through March.

We got, I'll be in Florida, Boston, Israel, and, well, actually,

I can't remember the other places, but we're going to be really busy. And so,

I want to make sure we can produce good content for you guys. I don't want to just put stuff out just for the sake of putting things out.

So, for that purpose, I want to take a short break so that I can focus on the importance of this conference and film that we're putting together and not be distracted by that for the time that I have.

So, I said this would be short, not so sweet, because I know many of you who love to listen to this podcast are not happy that I'm taking a break.

I get it, but it is important for what we're trying to do.

So, I'm just letting you know, I want to inform you guys, I love you guys as an audience. You mean a lot to us.

Let me just say, just so you know, in case I forget to say it, but if you want to get my book,

What Do We Believe?, we are giving a discount at strivingfraternity .org. You can get that book for 50 % off, 50 % off using the promo code

CHRISTMAS. You can get as many copies as you want. We're encouraging you to buy as many as you want for Christmas gifts.

So, use the promo code CHRISTMAS to get those discounts. Also, while you're there, you can get the book

Sharing the Good News with Mormons. If you prefer that book, we're giving 35 % off with the promo code

LDS. That stands for Latter Day Saints. So, those are some things you could do.

I know that this is disappointing to many of you to hear that we're going to take a break. I get it.

I don't like to do this because I care about each one of you who takes the time to listen, to share each of the episodes.

I get that. And I'm not doing this lightly. I do this because I, just with the time that we have in preparing,

I'll be doing three weeks of travel, and Atlanta, going out to Kootenai, Idaho, then

Florida. Got a lot going on, and I want to be able to focus on producing really great content for the film and conference.

We're going to return, and when we do, we're going to have some great content here.

I want to encourage you. I hope you listened to the episode that I did on the doctrine of superintending.

And if you did, I hope that you are sharing that. I hope it was helpful to you.

I hope it really helped define and explain the issues of Calvinism, Arminianism, and to be able to give that context so that, well, really,

I said it was the solution to that argument. I think it is. You go check that episode out.

Listen for yourself. If you found it valuable, I encourage you to share it with others. We'll be returning at The Wrap Report in a few weeks.

I thank you very, very much for your participation in this podcast, your listening, your sharing.

It means a lot to me. I love to get the feedback that I get from you guys.

If you want to give feedback, email us at info at strivingforturning .org. I love to hear the feedback.

I love to hear the things you want to hear about, podcasts you want to hear, but we like to hear that.

So with that, I want to thank you. We will return shortly, and that is a wrap.
