Hey, my friends, it's Matt, this is the 10 Minute Bible Hour podcast.

And with any luck, as you are hearing my voice right now, I'm far, far away from the internet

and my phone and most of all, Twitter.

And I am hanging out with my favorite human that I ever met, ever because my wife and I

are taking an anniversary trip together because we are in love.

And I think it's going to be magnificent.

And so what we're going to do this week is take an old talk that I did on the book of

judges, like the summary of the whole book of judges.

And I'm going to have my buddy Jeff cut it up into five pieces and that actually sounds

like something from the book of judges, Levi and his concubine, that all makes sense later

on after you listen to this.

Now I'm committed to that metaphor.

We're going to cut it up into five pieces and that'll be the next five days of our conversation

here.

And then we'll get back at it with Matthew 26 and this situation with anointing of Jesus

at Bethany, kind of a little lull in between the craziness of the storm of the events leading

up to his arrest and trial and execution.

I just wanted to mention a couple things though real quick on the front end before we

tear into this whole judges thing for five days.

And mostly, I guess what I just wanted to communicate is how much I enjoy doing this and

how much I appreciate you for making it so that I can do this.

And I don't just mean the people who support the program.
