Hello, loyal listeners! Many of you have been messaging us about the show. Just to explain, nothing is wrong, and we are doing well. However, Steve has a full-time job as a project manager and a part-time job as a pastor. Megan has a full-time job as a college professor, a part-time job as a college professor, and has started classes for another degree. Soooo.... we're more than a little busy!

We did record one episode that was never posted, so that should come out within the next few weeks. After that, we might record as we're able, but we may not be able to for quite some time.

As a result, we've decided to put the show on hiatus until further notice. Because we hope to return, our website is still up, but to be fair to our fans, the Patreon page has been closed.

Thank you all for your concern, messages, and support for the show and for this transition!
