Here we are, friends!  We are back in the season of Lent that it feels like we never really left from last year.  I mean, it’s hard to believe that all of this pandemic stuff started 11 months ago, just shortly after Ash Wednesday.  Nevertheless, […]

It’s here, y’all!! The AWG Podcast Season 2 is here! I am so excited to share this season with you.  So far, there are 10 episodes all lined up and in the queue, ready to hit your earbuds every Thursday for the next couple of […]
