The Grand Ol Opry has been in continuous service since it's first broadcast on WSM November 28, 1925. That's 98 years, folks! But even Little Jimmy Dickens had to hang up his hat and guitar after 67 seasons! Yes, all things - even good things - must come to end, and today's Living Your Dash is the last episode with our host, Rick Hale. Our first recording was on September 11, 2019 - just before Covid-19 started to halt things - but we kept recording!

But Sunday, July 7th, was Rick's last message, and he had a lot to say to his church, and therefore, some sage words to all disciples no matter where you are. Of interest is not only Rick's own beginnings in ministry, but wise words to people thinking about ministry themselves, and for those of us who now begin ministry under new leadership with Nate Marsh.

Rick - thanks for letting me experiment with this podcast. It's been a lot of fun and very meaningful to me, personally. I love you! ~ Sean
