Hello, and thanks for listening to Five Minutes in Church History.

I'm Steve Nichols, and I wanted to let you know that from now until the end of the year,

we'll be taking a break from releasing new episodes on the podcast.

But don't worry, we'll be hand-selecting some of our favorite episodes for you to enjoy

before we're back with brand new episodes next year.
