0:00.0	Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:10.7	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:13.3	Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today.
0:20.7	It is day 171. We are reading from 2nd Kings chapter 2. I laugh because there is greatness.
0:28.8	There's Elijah. There's Elijah. There is some insults and there's she bears today.
0:33.9	Second Kings chapter 2. We're also Second Chronicles chapter 25 and we are praying from

1:21.3	If you don't, you can probably get it at ascensionpress.com. Also, if you want to download
1:24.9	your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascension press.com slash Bible in a year. And if you have not yet subscribed to this podcast, you can
1:31.4	click on subscribe to receive daily episodes. One of the things, I've heard, people call me a
1:37.6	pusher, not a pusher when it comes to subscribing. I say what they tell me to say. Kind of like
1:42.3	when I read the Bible, I, just read what I'm given.
