0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a Crappy Christian, a misfit media network
0:11.4	production. I am your host and resident Crappy Christian Blake, and every week I get to have
0:16.9	the coolest conversations with incredible people about all the things most Christians
0:21.8	are still not sure we're allowed to talk about. So if you've been looking for a place to land
0:26.3	with all your crap and for someone to just be honest about what it looks like to walk through
0:31.2	this Christian life while you've come to the right place, pull up a seat, pop in your headphones

1:32.2	We're hoping pretty early in the year to be able to start putting both the interviews and
1:36.4	the solo episodes up on YouTube as well as create some content that's just for YouTube.
1:42.4	So hopefully in the near future, you will be able to
1:45.6	watch these episodes if that's your thing. I love watching YouTube videos. I love watching
1:50.1	podcasts or vlogs or whatever on YouTube. And so I'm excited to enter into that world.
