0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | I bet you forgot about the Psalms, didn't you? We're still chipping away at those guys bit by bit. |
0:18.0 | Today we opened with a story in Jeremiah 38 that reminded me a lot of another story we read before. |

1:14.2 | If you're not familiar with it, |
