The writer of Ecclesiastes was incredibly wise. He recorded a great observation in chapter 3 verses 1-2, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot.” (NIV 1984)

Over two years ago, it was a time to start this podcast. Everyone needed encouragement. We were reeling from the pandemic, suffering through hyper-partisan news cycles and watching political leaders radicalize and divide people.

I started the podcast to encourage others and spark their faith in Jesus. Today, the pandemic is over. Yes, the hyper-partisan media and radical politics remain. But it is no longer time to start. It is time for a change.

After more than 800 daily episodes, it is time to pause the podcast. It is time for me to step away to evaluate, recharge and plan the future. I don’t know how long the pause will be. It could be a few weeks, maybe a few months. If you’d like an email notice when the podcast resumes, go to www.sparkingfaith.com/feedback. Use the form to register for an email update.

I really appreciate you for listening to the podcast. People in several countries have tried it. But the core of the listeners are in the heart of the United States. Thank you so much for listening.
