Harris here. Stephen actually, but same diff. I'm truly sorry for disappearing, for those of you who were enjoying this podcast. It wasn't an intended plan. If anything, I was targeting 150 episodes before walking away. But I burnt myself out in fall and winter season with all the guests and such, and what started as a wee break led to now months of silence. Life actually hit me pretty hard back then, a lot piled on and I felt like I was drowning. Still do in a lot of ways. I have some big walls to bust through, and hurdles to climb, and finding the motivation has been tough if I am absolutely honest.
But I need to put this to bed so it's not just hanging out there. I never wanted this to just die - hated the thought of it happening, in fact. I always wanted to at least sign off on a final episode and say good bye, but it's just not going to happen at this point. 146 episodes it is - the Faith and Liberty chapter of my life, and I guess yours too if you joined us.
I want to say thank you to Chris Burke for doing this journey with me. There is a magical bond we have in communicating together, and I can't express how much I appreciate his willingness to digest and dissect my point of view, and many others. Let alone how much I learned and grew from his perspectives and faith. It's now impossible for me to ignore certain aspects, to the point I believe there being a reason we found each other. Thank you, sincerely, for being a friend, an amazing cohost, and one hell of a talented musician.
A huge thank you to every single amazing guest we had on over the years too. Those conversations were some of my favorite moments in life and I am so grateful to have had the opportunities we had to chat.
I don't know what's next for me. I don't know when or if I will say another word online again in fact, but after now 20 years of this truther bu****it, I suspect I won't shut up forever. Maybe when and if I bust through some walls, I don't know.
I love this show. It is literally the only thing that kept me going during the worst of the covid era, and beyond some weeks. I am very proud of what me and my friend achieved here, and I feel I did say nearly everything I needed to say. It may never ever be heard or understood, but at least I said it - I tried.
Thank you all for tuning in, joining along the journey. I appreciate each and every one of you. And please take care of each other.
With faith in liberty, this is Stephen Harris signing off on Faith & Liberty. Good night.
