0:23.2	Podcast, where today we're going to study First Kings, chapters 17 through 19, and I
0:29.5	have to say this is one of my favorite events to look at in the Old Testament because it is so
0:35.2	central to understanding what's going on in the Old Testament. We're going to see Elijah and we
0:39.9	have a special guest to be with us today. Yes, we're thrilled to have Patrick Dane with us today.
0:45.8	He's been an instructor in the Seminary's and Institute program for more than 25 years. He's
