Goodness... This episode is special. It's special because we had the privilege to hear from our friend Jared. If you don't know him, you will quickly hear how passionate and energetic he is. In fact, due to technical issues, we had to record this episode over phones which allowed Jared to literally run around the farm he lives on while enthusiastically telling us the story of how he ended up living/pastoring there in the first place. You may occasionally be able to tell that we had to resort to this recording method, but we believe that Jared's story more than makes up for audio issues we experienced.  

This episode is also very special because the very same day Jared recorded this episode with us he was in a serious accident that sent him to the hospital. With permission from his spouse Sophie, we decided to share his episode in light of this awful event. We hope it's what Jared would want, and we look forward to him hearing it in the near future. While you listen to Jared, would you pray for the long road to recovery that lays before him? Also, if you are hearing of his injury for the first time and want to reach out to encourage the family, please help us limit the noise and chaos of phones and social media accounts by sending your well-wishing to us. We will make sure they receive it in the least invasive way possible.  

Enjoy.
