If you are a frequent listener, you may notice that you are particularly parched at the end of this episode, as no drinks were included in our meals. This is because, as often is the case with this things, Jillian and Bella can, (and will), talk forever, and as much of their conversation about God and all his glory has already had to be cut due to our twenty-minute restriction, an executive decision was made to cut out the drink and song portion instead of cut down more of the testimonies. They apologize, and hope you still enjoy!
