We are live on the conversations that matter podcast, and I think I'm coming through.

Yay.

I had some technical issues before starting.

I'm not sure exactly what they were related to, but we did have what they were calling a blizzard.

I'm looking outside now.

It doesn't look like a blizzard.

It just looks like some snow, but that could have affected some things.

So hopefully the podcast goes smoothly.

I did go outside a little earlier and I did a little video just to promote the album. So I do have

hard copies of it right here. So what it looks like. And I'll show you that, which also gives you a

chance to see what it looks like outside in upstate New York. And then we're going to start the issue at hand, which is USAID and what's going on with some

of these Christian ministries, the reaction to the funding cuts, and we'll get to all your questions,

concerns, cries of outrage, and whatnot. So here's what it looks like outside my house.

Hey, everyone. Just want to let you know my new album, Driving Down a Mountain Road, is available now at

john harris-tunes.com. You can also get a signed copy. This is what it looks like.

And this is just an album that features songs that I've written. It's really a passion project more than anything else.

A lot of people have said they enjoy it.

I wanted to show you today in the video, though.

I know a thing or two about driving down a mountain road because I live on one.

And you might call it a hill, but it gets precarious in the winter.

And boy, does it feel like a mountain road when the weather gets bad.

I'm not going anywhere today, not driving on a mountain road today. That's for sure.
