Transcript

Hey Everyone! Thank you so much for listening to the first season of the Thrive with Asbury Seminary Podcast. Our purpose in creating this podcast was to curate conversations with authors, thought-leaders and hopefully people just like you who are looking to connect with where your passion meets the world’s deep needs. But really, y’all we couldn’t have done it without you, and we really appreciate you letting us into your lives wherever you listen and letting us become part of your story. We also couldn’t have done it without our friends who have been guests on the podcast. So if you haven’t already listened to those episodes, you really must go back and check those out.

We have more great conversations coming in 2020, and we’ll be telling you more about those the first part of next year. Until then, I’m Heidi Wilcox on behalf of the Thrive with Asbury Seminary Podcast Team, wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
