You're listening to the Bible for normal people the only God ordained podcast on the internet. I'm Pete ends and I'm Jared bias.

Welcome everybody and today's topic is the minor prophets and why we shouldn't call them that and our guest is.

Anna Seagus.

Yep she is the assistant professor of religious studies and philosophy at gardener web university.

And what should we call them if we're not going to call them the book of the 12 why because anise so that's that's all you know.

Actually everybody said people been saying that for a very long time which is sort of the point of this podcast and like the people who wrote.

The books called the book of the 12 call it that so we should maybe that's right.

Yeah attention to the people who actually wrote the books right.

I'm not really sure what that means but that's a really good point Jared. I appreciate that.

So yeah, you know the thing is that it's I love this discussion because just digging a little just a little under the surface even.

To some of these biblical books you just you catch a vision for like there's so much more going on here than meets the eye and and the so called minor prophets you know there's short books and you knock them off but there's much more going on there and Anna gave us a glimpse into this so I thought it was a great conversation.

Yeah, so let's talk about the book of the 12.

Bama Mia is this musical that takes these oba songs and then put them together into a continuous story.

They're just separate oba songs but in this play you bring them together to make them into a whole and that's kind of what's going on with the book of the 12.

You've got kind of like standalone pieces like when you bring them all together they tell this larger story which is kind of cool to read them all together in that way.

I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses.

I love walking with the dog for long periods of time.

You know, it's snowing and you've got a wrap up warm so I think a frozen nose and then sweaty armpits because like your wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top and you're like and then you can see the breath but then you know still freezing to touch.

Joy in every sip with red carp snout back at Starbucks.

Imagine living until you're a hundred.

For people born today there's a good chance it could be a reality as life expectancy continues to increase we need to change the way we view retirement.

At Phoenix Group we believe we all need to think differently about how we work, learn, save and live to ensure people enjoy the life they want when they stop working.
