Let's start off by saying... our sound issues have been solved! So for those of you that have stuck by as we have navigated DIY sound mixing... bless you. We wish we could tell you that your loyalty will result in descendants as great as there are stars in the sky but... we're social workers and it would be unethical to make such promises. Now... this episode is a bit longer than our usual. In these chapters (Genesis 29-32), we have some conversations that we really felt were essential to the heart of this podcast. We also feel it would be a disservice to you, the listener, to leave any of them on the cutting room floor. So snuggle in, go for a long walk or stream this one during your next long car ride but most importantly, enjoy the episode. We left our hearts in this one.
