Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God. We had a good run of guests here on the Builders Build pod. We're thankful for all of them, but it's time for them to kick rocks.
