New podcast

Good Morning, Bill and Abigail! I just listened to your new podcast, StartNew, and I loved it! So good to hear your voices again and your explanation of FiveTwo and this podcast’s purpose in reaching out across the airways for Jesus. I congratulate you both on the beginning of this new endeavor and I believe that it is a perfect way for you to let others know about all that you are doing at FiveTwo and all that others can do to start and encourage new ministries. As a long time devotee of podcasts (and yes, Bill, my favorite is also The Moth followed closely by This American Life), I think that your podcast is just what your name implies: a new ministry to attract new people to hear the message of Jesus through StartNew. Thanks! And I’ll be listening.
