You're listening to the Bible for normal people, the only God ordained podcast on the internet.

I'm Pete N's.

And I'm Jared Baez.

We're very excited to announce that our brand new devotional guide, the slow work of God,

an ordinary time guide is out now.

If you liked our Advent guide, this one is for you.

If you didn't know, we had an Advent guide, well, you can buy that too while you're at it.

Ordinary time is a time in the liturgical calendar that happens between Easter and Advent,

about 33 weeks long. And this time is called ordinary because it's free of the hustle and bustle

of other church holidays. This guide was created with a wide range of people in mind, especially

Ordinary time can feel, well, ordinary, but we think it's the perfect space to

readings grounded in biblical scholarship from our nerds and residents, writing prompts to help

you process and reflect, curated listening recommendations from our podcast episodes that fit each

week's theme and video messages from yours truly.
