#432: Why I've Never Done This Before

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>For the first time in over 430 weekly episodes of More Than a Song, I will be taking a brief break from the podcast.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>I'll be diving back in with <strong>fresh episodes on August 15th</strong> using 90's Christian throwback song "Dive" by Steven Curtis Chapman. (See what I did there?) I'll also be over at <a href="https://www.mixtapetheology.com/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Mixtape Theology</a> (a fellow <a href= "https://www.newreleasetoday.com/podcasts.php" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">New Release Today Podcast Network</a> member) for a partner episode on that same day.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In the meantime, <a href= "https://forms.aweber.com/form/46/357165946.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">subscribe to my email list</a> and follow me on social media platforms (specifically Instagram <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/michellenezat/" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">@michellenezat</a>), as my daughter Emily will be highlighting a weekly featured episode from the archives you may have missed. We will also be producing a series of reels on my Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) -- the exercises I use to keep my time in God's Word varied and effective. This way, you can keep reading God's Word for yourself and catch up on forgotten or missed episodes from the archives.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --></p> <h3>Why take a break?</h3> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In the past, if I've needed to take some time off, I've always played Encore Episodes, so why the break?</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In a nutshell? Obedience and a big assignment. Listen to this episode to hear a brief description of both.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"center","id":8592,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --></p> <figure class="wp-block-im
