This is the Baymau podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

Today we examine Peter's great confession at Cessaria, Philippi, and the intense conversation that follows.

Yes, so, Jesus we've been talking about is on this little role since encountering this

Sairofanishian woman out in the region of Sairofanishia. I guess that's kind of self-explanatory.

The Canaanite woman from Sairofanishia, a region of Tyre inside, and there you go.
