Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

My name is Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon.

Before we jump into today's episode, I want to invite you to read the Gospel of Mark with

us beginning in January.

I love the first of the year because I'm the kind of person that

likes to set new goals. I don't tell people about them because I often fail in my

goals, but I like to do it and sometimes I even succeed and one of the things I always want to do is grow in my

reading of the Bible and one of the ways that I have a better shot at succeeding is if I do it

with other people. So is there somebody in your live friend, co-worker neighbor,

I don't know who you would like to invite to read the Bible along with you and not even the whole

Bible, just the Gospel of Mark? We've got a great little study guide that we are

including a link to in the show notes and I think you'll really benefit from

going through that study guide to help you understand what's happening in the

Gospel. Anyway, we'd love for you to join us in to help you understand what's happening in the Gospel of Mark.

Anyway, we'd love for you to join us in that if you are open to it.

And all that kicks off at the 1st of January.

So let's jump into today's

Hey, welcome to 2021. I hope you're as excited to get rid of 20-20 as we are. They are, we all are. Everybody is ready to move on and we're all hoping that this is a far better

year and one of the ways you can make it a better year is to develop a habit of reading your

Bible. Maybe you've already noticed that we are working through the Gospel of Mark and Timmin

of Bible Talks and maybe you're just able to keep up with those podcasts.

If that's the case, fantastic.
