  And welcome to the final episode of season eight.
• 0:49
  We are heading into season nine tomorrow with the biggest announcement ever
• 0:54
  in the history of my podcast, ever in the history of my life.
• 0:59
  I'm telling you, you don't wanna miss this. It will be emotional. I know it will.
• 1:06
  I just know it will because it's something I've been waiting to do and it's
• 1:10
  been something that I've been patiently gathering time to do it.
• 1:14
  And oh my God, season nine is going to be off the charts, our charts, off the charts.
• 1:20
  I'm telling you, you don't want to miss it, guys. Welcome to Have Faith, Let It Begin.
• 1:23
  My name is Angel Santana, and today we close out season eight.
• 1:29
  Season eight has been, wow, an amazing, rocky, up and down, stopping,
• 1:35
  don't stop till you drop.
• 1:37
  But yeah, tomorrow we begin season nine, and with it comes very exciting announcement.
• 1:42
  And that I can't wait to share with all of you. So just hang tight.
• 1:46
  It's going to be tomorrow.
• 1:47
  Before we look ahead though, I wanted to take a moment to look back.
• 1:52
  Got to look back with you because, you know, as I gaze over into the parking
• 1:57
  lot, getting ready to go into work, I was thinking this past weekend,
• 2:00
  like many weekends came with its shares of challenges.
• 2:05
  There were moments of stress, moments where things didn't go according to plan,
• 2:11
  Moments where I felt tired, overwhelmed, and wondered how everything was going to come together.
• 2:17
  And then when I stopped and reminded myself of something important,
• 2:23
  we've made it through every difficult season on this podcast,
• 2:28
  from seasons one through eight.
• 2:30
  We've faced so many obstacles, every challenge, every setback,
• 2:35
  every disappointment, every closed door. Yeah, we're still here.
• 2:40
  Maybe you're listening right now oh sorry guys i had my alarm going off saying you got to go into work,
• 2:47
  Hey, it's live, right? We make this work. Maybe you're listening right now and,
• 2:51
  you're carrying something right now with you.
• 2:54
  Maybe this weekend wasn't easy.
• 2:58
  I know it wasn't easy for me. I preached yesterday. That'll air this week,
• 3:02
  by the way. Maybe you're facing a struggle that nobody knows about.
• 3:06
  I want you to hear something right now, something important that I think everyone
• 3:11
  should really hone in on. You may not have all the answers.
• 3:15
  Hey, how you doing? You may not know what tomorrow looks like,
• 3:21
  but you're breathing, you're fighting, you're moving forward.
• 3:25
  And that's something worth celebrating.
• 3:28
  As I reflect on the eight seasons of this podcast, one thing becomes very clear to me.
• 3:35
  This show isn't about me. It's about us.
• 3:39
  It's about the community that we have built together. It's about the message you've sent to.
• 3:46
  And that I've sent to you, and that you have shared with me,
• 3:50
  the stories you've shared, the stories I've shared, the prayers we've prayed,
• 3:55
  the prayers we've prayed for one another, and the encouragement we've given
• 3:59
  each other along the way.
• 4:01
  I love you. I love this audience. I truly do.
• 4:05
  I love this family that we've built. Whether you've been here since episode
• 4:09
  one, or you found it yesterday, or even maybe right now, thank you for being
• 4:14
  a part of the journey. Now I want to ask a small favor.
• 4:18
  If this podcast has ever encouraged you, if it's ever helped you through a difficult
• 4:23
  day, if it's ever made you smile, think, pray, or feel less alone,
• 4:30
  would you share it with someone?
• 4:32
  Would you share this podcast with somebody today? Just one, one person.
• 4:39
  Post it on social media, send a text message, share an episode with a friend,
• 4:44
  a family, a member of your community, a co-worker, or somebody who might need
• 4:51
  a little encouragement.
• 4:53
  Imagine, just imagine if what could have happened, what could happen if every
• 4:58
  listener just shared this podcast one time.
• 5:01
  We could reach people who need help, who need hope, people who need inspiration,
• 5:06
  people who need to know they're not alone because you're not alone.
• 5:10
  And speaking of social media.
• 5:12
  It seems like every day there's a new trend, a new viral video.
• 5:17
  A new challenge, a new thing everybody's talking about.
• 5:20
  Some trends last a few hours, some last a few days, then they're gone.
• 5:26
  But there's one thing that never goes out of style.
• 5:30
  Love, real love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, encouragement,
• 5:37
  the ability to look at another human being and say, I see you.
• 5:42
  I care about you because you matter. That's a gift every single one of us has,
• 5:48
  We all know how to love Sometimes we forget Sometimes life gets busy And sometimes
• 5:54
  disagreements Get in the way But in the world that we live in The world needs
• 6:01
  more people Willing to choose love,
• 6:03
  Not because it's easy Not because everyone agrees But because it's right So
• 6:10
  as we close out Season 8 It's my challenge for all of you And all of us today to love somebody today.
• 6:17
  Encourage somebody today, forgive somebody today, reach out to somebody today.
• 6:24
  And if you can share this podcast one time, let's spread a little more hope together.
• 6:30
  Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
• 6:33
  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life, your mornings,
• 6:37
  your commutes, your walks, your workouts, and your lives.
• 6:42
  Tomorrow begins a brand new chapter. Season nine, a big announcement is coming,
• 6:48
  and I can't wait to share it.
• 6:50
  It's going to be exciting. Until then, may God be with you.
• 6:54
  May he shine his light upon you and grant every single one of you peace on earth.
• 6:59
