0:00.0	Hey everybody. Welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate
0:06.8	relevance and application of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. We also dive into
0:11.0	the history and cultures of the text.
0:13.0	Thanks for taking the time to share and subscribe to this podcast.
0:17.0	For show notes, head over to our website talking scripture.org
0:20.0	Welcome to talking scripture. I'm Bryce and I'm Mike and today we're going to
