Hey guys, Amanda here. Before we get started, I want to take a moment to tell you about apartment life.

in archaeology. Dr. Hayes is truly a college professor and he focuses on Old Testament history.

I can't believe that we get to sit down with him and unpack something that feels pretty daunting

to Amanda and me, but he does such a beautiful job of just teaching us. Like this is the kind of

thing that you have to pay for and we get it just out of the goodness of his heart. So let's get

right to it. It's going to be a great episode. Well, I am so curious about your background. I can't
