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.

Well, hey everyone, before we get started on today's episode two quick announcements.

First, there are those who say listening to an audiobook doesn't count as reading.

To those people, I'll say the same thing as I would to people who argue that being a Christian

doesn't count unless you believe in an erudity. Just go look at history.

For hundreds of years, humans got their information from someone reading a book out loud.

You might say it's more normal than reading silently to yourself.

But if you still feel like listening doesn't count, then this announcement is not for you.

It's for normal people.

So I'm happy to announce that the audiobook version, Jonah for Normal People, is finally out.

And it's read by yours truly, who happens to also be the author.

So check it out anywhere you get audiobooks.

Jonah for Normal People, it's now available.

Second, you might notice over the next few weeks that our podcast now has ads on it.

We hope this doesn't offend too many people,

but we are excited to take a step toward having the podcast be more sustainable.

Given how amazing everything is that we do at the Bible for Normal People,

you might from the outside think that we're a giant corporation.

But we are, in fact, but a humble few who've been doing this part-time as a side hustle

to our other occupations for the past six or more years.
