Hey Scott, what brings you in at the pharmacy? I'm thinking about getting one of the updated COVID -19 vaccines.

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

01:17

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.

01:31

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

01:41

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

01:49

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

01:56

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

02:08

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.

02:24

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

02:32

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

02:38

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

02:45

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.

02:58

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

03:04

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.

03:22

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

03:32

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

03:38

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.

03:46

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.

03:59

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.

04:09

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

04:15

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.

04:24

05:14

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

05:20

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.

05:31

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

05:42

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

05:49

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

05:59

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

06:06

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

06:13

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

06:19

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,

06:30

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

06:37

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.
