Brace for the profound... In life, there are beginnings, and there are endings.

I know, I know. Your mind just got blown.

But, in all seriousness, those beginnings often include some form of arrival, and, with those endings, some form of departure. It is the second one we're talking about on this episode of As You Go, and not only because this happens to be Bo Bowen's last episode as host of the podcast.

On this episode, Bo sits down for one more long-form conversation, with some old and new guests, to discuss the spiritual and emotional impact that comes with leaving a place, a church, a job, a town... Every guest brings their own stories, experiences, and lessons learned from times in which they were compelled - one way or another - to leave the life they knew and go to a new place. In this conversation, we talk about everything from the sadness and sentimental struggle of deciding to leave, to the spiritual significance behind the act of leaving, to some helpful reminders on how to leave well (even when the circumstances may tempt you to leave not-so-well).

And, yes, this is Bo's last episode as host, as he also finds himself in the process of leaving. Beginning April 1, 2019, Bo will begin a new position as senior pastor at Northeast Church in Braselton, Georgia. So, while we consider this episode his swan song, we are thankful he invited plenty of others along to share the mic.
