SHOW NOTES
It has been 5 years since the 6 founders sat down on a livestream to announce the name “Love Thy Nerd” and lay out their initial direction for the ministry. This week, we relive those moments, hear how the founders felt in the moment, and follow the journey of LTN up to today. This is a special presentation of The Back Row Morning Show and LTN Radio.
The Back Row Morning Show is recording live in advance on LoveThyNerd.com/Twitch Saturdays at 9am Eastern. Be sure to check us out while we are recording and be a part of creating the show in real-time! This is also the place to be if you are into bonus stories and extra content!
