I'm Pete N's.

And I'm Jared Baez.

We are very excited to let you know that 2026 will be the 10th anniversary of the Bible for

0:18.2

normal people.

0:19.2

I mean, I'm sure you already knew that because you

0:21.6

track her every move, but you never know. Right. Rather than the normal 10th birthday stuff,

0:26.7

like video games or Nike Blazers, we're asking for your support. But if you wanted to send us

1:18.3

Yeah, one thing we want to do is provide Spanish language captions for all our classes.

1:22.5

That accessibility is important to us so that people feel welcome, especially in our society

1:27.4

We've also had a lot of older folks in our audience, so we want to simplify our website and

1:32.6

launch a simple-to-use app for our society members. We help dozens of folks each week navigate

1:37.8

our sites, and we think it's just time to make it easier. So to keep things accessible,
