| 0:07.0 | I'm Dr. Joe Boot, founder and president of Ezra |
| 0:13.4 | and I'm delighted to be back on the show this week with my colleague Dr Michael Tieson. |
| 0:16.4 | The Ezra Institute is a Christian worldview |
| 0:19.4 | and cultural apologetics think tank and Training Organization that seeks to engage the |
| 0:25.8 | Skeptic as well and we do that through a variety of print and digital resources |
| 0:31.8 | and media and through our conference and |
