Welcome to another episode of our podcast where we take a turn from our previous practice spanning months, weeks, and years. In this episode, there's a major announcement about our future approach. We are adopting a simplified strategy by focusing on just one thing every day – lectionary readings, intending to facilitate a smoother and enriched listener experience.With this strategy, we anticipate that all other activities around the podcast will fall into place and streamline themselves, thereby allowing us to manage the operations even efficiently. We sincerely believe this shift to daily lectionary readings is the ideal way to move forward and continue providing compelling content.We are excited for you to join us on this journey as we shift gears starting tomorrow. Stay tuned as the new episodes will be hitting your way soon. We appreciate your understanding and express our sincere thanks for your patience in this transition phase.
