    In this episode we started to unpack the early beginnings of the war with Iran. First of all as things have unfolded we want to say we are so sorry for all of the victims and the lives lost. We don't want to see the loss of anymore life and the bottom line is we don't want our country to start wars. We understand that this is a really crazy time in which we live we hope you can find peace in your community and your faith during this time. Thanks for watching The Side Quest with Sam & Bryan
