Follow Zach Chrisman on Twitter Note from the Editor Episode 10 is a huge milestone for our podcast. I once read that most don't even make it past 8 episodes, so to be here is very rewarding. Beyond that, we have finally had our first guest on. Guests have been a goal for us from the beginnning and it feels great to have a third voice on the show to contribute to the conversation (thanks again, Zach!). We have also made some other behind the scenes changes like better audio equipment and refreshing our branding. It's exciting and it is just the beginning. Jordan and I will continue to refine and develop this show and community as we explore the Christian faith together. Thank you for joining us on this wonderful journey.
