This is the Bay Maw podcast with Marty Solomon.

0:12.7

I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

0:14.0

Today we are looking at the second of Baymaw's four pillars,

0:17.2

the commitment to an experience of community.

0:20.7

Community, baby. It's the second of four.

0:23.5

And Marty, I didn't ask you about this before, so I'll just ask you right here on the show. But it seems

1:22.9

that's important because I've got to start with the text. I just believe in the Bible too much.

1:29.6
