Hey everybody, it's Matt, this is the Tim and the Bible Hour podcast and I'm excited

because this is the first day of a new thing.

This is the beginning of the second series that we've ever done on this podcast.

The first one, which wrapped up a couple days ago, was on Matthew and I have never dove

so deep into anything in the Bible ever in my whole life as I did on that book, 800 episodes

we shared together. It's a lot but we did it and I learned a ton and I had a blast and I got

to connect with so many of you. But now we're starting the second thing and what we're going

to do here is not go through just a book of the Bible. We're going to go through all the Bible

but pretty quickly. We're going to cover every book of the Bible, one book per day until we're done

they relate and see how they fit together. I think it's going to be fun. I think it's going to be

useful. If I haven't spelled this out clearly enough already, let me just spell it out harder now.

I really find this content interesting. I'm fascinated by the Bible. I'm a Christian. I've

gone through the ups and downs of faith. I know what it's like to be a not Christian but I just think

this book is wildly important whether you are a person of Christian faith or any kind of faith

or no faith whatsoever. I think it's wildly important if you're a person who was a Christian and

you got hurt and you got dinged up and you don't quite know what to do with it now. I still think
