Thank you all for liking and sharing this podcast and my blogs! I appreciate all your prayers and support.

Summer is a time that can be fairly hectic with limited scheduling, so I've made a shift for over the summer to ensure I'm able to lead well in the church. Listen to the message for more info. 

I appreciate all your prayers and support! One of the greatest ways you can support with no financial obligation is to share the content online in any ministry groups you're a part of. I have a lot of blogs available that you can read up on here: https://shanethacker.org/blog 

May God continually bless your efforts this Summer as you're gravitating on the right foundation for life in the ministry! If you have any questions for me or want to set up a time for some coaching, I'll be happy to do that as time allows. Have a blessed Summer!
