Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.

Thanks for joining. Today, I'm joined in the studio by another Watermark Institute student, Ms. Jenna Biddick.

Hey, Emma. I'm so glad you're here. Jenna, tell us a little bit about when you came to Watermark and where you're serving.

So I moved to Dallas to join the Watermark Institute in August, and I get to serve on the women's

equipping team with a focus in women's Bible study. So fun. And where'd you move from? I moved from

Corsicana, Texas. Okay. If you've ever heard of

Navarro College, that's where I was. Awesome. Well, cool. And today we are in Romans 11. And what do you

have to share with us? Yeah. So I guess to start our time, I just want to remind us of a couple of truths as we're coming

off of chapter 10.

Yeah.

And Paul talks a lot in chapter 10 about, hey, I want to charge you, my listeners, to share the

gospel with all people.

In Romans 10, verse 14, he says,

how then will they call on him in whom they have not believed?

And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?

And how are they to hear without somebody preaching?

So there's a heavy emphasis on the gospel being for the Gentiles. But what about God's

people? At the end of Romans 10, God says, but of Israel, I say, all day long I have held out my hands to a

disobedient and contrary people. So has God given up on Israel? Paul takes Romans 11 as an opportunity

to answer this question. Now, Emma, I do want to take a minute to ease any of our listeners.

Romans 11 is a tough chapter. So tough. So if you struggled your way through this, you're not alone.

No.
