[00:00:13] Hey everyone, it's Kobe from here at the Jonathan Project podcast. And I'm coming to you with a heavy heart, but an honest heart. You know, after a great deal of prayer and reflection, you know, I made the decision to step away from the podcast past. With that, we're going to be concluding the show. Obviously, I've already spoken to Jason and he understands and supports this.
[00:00:35] This decision wasn't made lightly, but it's one that comes from a place of deep conviction. You know, any of you that have listened to the show over the last year that it's been going, We've always tried to challenge men to live the life and to be a good example of what God has called them to be. But lately I found myself struggling to live up to those values. Between my responsibilities as a father and a husband and a follower of Christ and, and my job demands, I realized that I'm over committed. And what that's led to is a mindset and a feeling in my heart and I share this with Jason of not being genuine. And I'm just checking the block. And in trying to carry too much, I've kind of lost sight of what really matters. To continue speaking of this importance, spiritual leadership, and going with the podcast, I would be neglecting, you know, a lot of things here at home. I'm putting those on the back burner to try to keep this thing going. And that's hypocrisy and it really is disobedience and I can't do that and I can't build something. And I refuse to if my heart's not in the right place.
[00:01:36] You know, the Lord brought the story of Martha and Mary as I was kind of preparing for this and trying not to, to be overly dramatic here as I'm thinking about all of it that we've done here at the show. But you might recall that Martha was busy doing a lot of the good things and, and she was preparing and trying to serve Jesus and the disciples that are there. But Mary sat at Jesus feet just listening and being still. And Martha grew frustrated and Jesus gently corrected her. Martha, Martha, you're worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed or indeed only one. You know, right now I'm choosing that one thing, which is to just rest and to be in Jesus Christ and what he has for me, and returning to my first ministry, which is here at home and focusing on that and then moving out in the future. You know, there's seasons in life and this season, as far as the Jonathan Project podcast has come to an end.
[00:02:29] I just hope that over time, everyone understands. I think everyone. I can't even begin to. To name everyone, so I won't even try. But everyone who supported the podcast listened in, you know, downloaded devotionals or purchased merchandise. I thank all of you for all that.
[00:02:46] And you've been part of something that was very real and it mattered, and I appreciate that. All our guests that joined the show, I appreciate their time. And I pray that the seeds that we planted out there through the Jonathan Project podcast continue to grow in your life. And I asked it for prayer, for me in particular, as I kind of seek out what I've preached, you know, not perfectly, but with a heart fully to yield it to the Lord. So, until we meet again, um, stay faithful and just remember, God's not done with your story. Thank you.
