We finish 2023 with some final thoughts on the events of the year including where we've seen God move in our lives, things that we want to focus on going into 2024, and how we plan to be "On Mission". We also discuss the recent passage of Issue 1 in Ohio. What that means for Christians and how we need to extend everyone grace while still holding firmly to Biblical truths.

Our first three-time guest is back on the mics with us - Pastor Jarrod Williams! We kick off the episode with the classic game - 2 truths and a lie - with some pretty hilarious results.

Then we dig into some more serious topics including Alpha Course, Jarrod's recent pastoral sabbatical, counseling, and finish up the episode with some discussion on lies that we all tell ourselves.

The Core4 are finally back together again! We sit down to discuss John Mark Comer's book, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. It's a challenging read that pushes back against some of the prevailing attitudes in our culture right now when it comes to success, drive, and time management. Do we think hurry should be ruthlessly eliminated? Tune in to find out!

A Note from Dan:


To my friends from Samaritan’s Purse – As said in the podcast, while I am a huge fan, I am not an official spokesperson for Samaritan’s Purse so comments in the cast do not officially represent Samaritan’s Purse the organization, but I hope you agree I tried my best to speak consistent with the mission of our great organization.    Please also know that before I agreed to do the podcast, I did contact and receive permission from Samaritan’s Purse media relations and they with security to ensure that this was permitted.  I pray for you and thank God for you each day, and for the amazing and selfless work that you do to share the love of Jesus Christ around the world! 
To my family, my friends, my church, and my work – I don’t think I officially said “thank you” in the pod cast.   The unexpected and sheer volume of support received through hundreds of prayers, comments, texts, emails were so very much appreciated – more than you will ever know.   THANK YOU does not come close to covering it but that’s all I have.   Now I also have to be so bold as to ask one more thing of you.   Please continue to pray for and support missionaries, mission workers, deployed Samaritan’s Purse staff for their safety, and for their continued success in sharing the love of Jesus wherever they are serving.
