0:00.0	Hello, my friends. Welcome to another episode of Follow Him. My name is Hank Smith. I'm your host.
0:08.8	I'm here with my marvelous co-host, John, by the way. Welcome, John. Another week of Follow Him.
0:14.6	Yeah. I marvel that I'm here to. Can't believe it. Yeah. I marvel that you are here, John.
0:20.4	John, we have been studying the letters of Paul here for quite a few weeks. What have you learned
0:26.8	so far? What's stood out to you? It's fun to see where Paul goes. I feel like I might have
0:31.9	a tendency. Okay, I went there. I did my job. Now I'm going home, but Paul feels connected to these
0:37.2	places where he's gone. He feels connected to the people and you can feel it and the letters he
0:42.1	writes to them. He's praying for him. He feels connected to them. And I like that his service was
0:48.1	heartmite mind strength. Yeah. It does feel that way as he's going from place to place. It looks
0:52.5	like he's just adding to his plate. More people, he's worried about more congregations. He's
0:56.8	worried about writing too. John, we have a wonderful guest with us today. His name is Dale
1:01.4	Stern. He teaches up in BYU Idaho, one of our friends up there. Dale, we are in first and second
1:07.2	Thessalonians today. What are we looking forward to? First and second Thessalonians is unique in
1:13.0	a bunch of ways. And maybe one is that it's among the earliest, if not the earliest,
1:18.5	New Testament document. This could be the first letter Paul wrote. Some would say Galatians maybe
1:24.5	is ahead of this one, but others think this is first. These are people that he loves. You just
1:30.6	have this ebullient affection expressed through this letter. Both of these letters, neither of them
1:36.8	is full of corrections. It's not a first Corinthians kind of letter. It's really encouraging,
1:43.4	which becomes almost poignant when we start to understand where Thessalonica is and who are these
1:49.6	people and the sacrifices they've made to come to Christ. That's fantastic. I'm looking forward to this
1:55.7	as I've watched Paul in first and second Corinthians. It feels like he's pulling his hair out just
2:01.2	I cannot get things straight over there, but it's good to hear that things are going well
