Hello, 1517 podcast listeners. This is Chad Bird, co-host of 40 Minutes in the Old Testament, with an announcement from the 1517 Podcast Network. Throughout the entire month of June, the podcast network at 1517 is launching a special fundraiser, and I need your help. Every dollar you contribute will be matched by two generous donors, doubling the impact of your generosity.

The podcast network needs to raise $150,000 in an effort to support the ongoing creation and expansion of our shows.

The funds raise will play a crucial role in expanding our network onto additional platforms,

such as YouTube, and strategically reaching new audiences with the gospel. Your support isn't

just a figurative donation. It's a tangible investment in the people and tools necessary to

maintain and expand the work of our podcast.

Please help us to reach our $150,000 gold.

Simply visit www.1517.org forward slash donate dash podcast today.

Also, while you're over there, make sure you hit that donate link. How are they free? Well, they're free by

having people's support. You've got to hold the rope. If you are one of those people, thank you very

much for making everything that we do possible. If you'd like to become one of those people,

because you'd like the show, you like what 1517 does, we sure could use the support. So go over
