2022 was not a normal year, and we're not ending it with a normal podcast. I (Allen) just wanted to share my heartfelt gratitude for you, as a listener and family member of the God and Gigs community. While we have some amazing things planned for the future, we can't go forward without looking back and giving thanks for what we've already received. We'll be back to regular episodes in a couple of weeks, but until then, have a wonderful beginning to 2023! Support the showSTOP DOING CREATIVE LIFE ALONE!
