This is the Baymont Podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

Today we are joined again by Reed Dent, staff member with campus Christian Fellowship at Truman State University in Missouri.

Reed, welcome back.

Thanks, good to be here.

And I think I might need to redo the intro a little bit. Like, this is the Baymont Podcast after dark or something.

I've got this crazy sore throat, which why would anyone have a sore throat in July?

It's more practical. It's just better on so many levels.

And maybe we're like 100 episodes too late on this, but we're going to make this where it's not just Brent and Marty.
