0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast.
0:07.0	In fact, you might even be watching the Bible in your podcast where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:13.0	The Bible in your podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:16.0	Using the great adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story
0:21.0	of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. This is our first time where we're not
0:24.8	only having the audio, obviously, here, but we're also doing a video of Jeff and myself, having
0:30.6	an opportunity to sit down and just take one moment to address all the community, the Bible
0:35.6	and your community who have been journeying
0:37.8	with us for so long. In fact, the journey might feel like the Israelites in the wilderness.
0:43.3	The journey might feel like those prophets who got beat up. The journey might feel like those
0:47.8	in exile. And so we just wanted to take a moment and just offer some words,
0:52.2	words of encouragement to help us do that, none other than Jeff Kavens is joining us to, yeah, to give us that word, that word of wisdom, that word of encouragement, that word of hope. Well, it's welcome, Jeff. Good to be with you. Nice to see you. Good to see you, too. I love the fact that your camera is so much better than mine. And I say, I love the fact. I love it. But Jeff, I know that
1:12.6	I've been saying ever since the beginning that people think that Leviticus was going to be the
1:17.3	hardest. Deuteronomy, numbers, that was going to be the most difficult. And I was like, I think
1:21.2	it's going to be the prophets. I think it's going to be the fact that we are going to say for months,
1:25.6	we're going to walk for months with the prophets.
1:28.8	And their words of conviction, their words of telling people to repent, telling people to brace for what's coming.
1:36.2	And I think it might have affected some of our hearts in some ways.
1:39.8	Yeah.
1:40.1	Well, it certainly is a difficult time to read in the Bible.
1:43.8	You know, when you're talking about the things that Israel's doing wrong and the prophets are speaking to them and giving a warning. And there's so much of it. If you take your Bible and you hold it up on the side, a good portion of the Old Testament are the prophets. And of course, reading the Bible in chronological
2:02.8	order as we're doing, we're not really called to read those just one after another, but it's
