0:00.0	Hey, my friends, it's Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast, and I've been automating my studio lately.
0:23.2	I've been slowly buying Wi-Fi switches and lights so that I can control all the different things that I do in here,
0:30.6	because I have a bunch of different tasks that I do in my little workspace. And I thought,
0:34.7	that's a lot of time I'm wasting flipping switches and dialing in the
0:38.4	lighting for this kind of video or that video again and again and again. So I just automated it all.
0:43.6	I bought an Amazon device that I can control with my voice and I can link everything to. And then I
0:49.4	just bark out orders. You know, like if I want to do a podcast, I can be like, hey, engage podcast
0:54.2	mode, or if I want to shoot a video, I can be like, engage light video mode.
0:59.3	Or if I want to listen to something on Spotify, I can be like, hey Alexa, play 1,000
1:04.9	fart sounds on Spotify.
1:07.5	And then, oh, I should have thought of that.
1:10.2	My voice command may have just inadvertently activated
1:13.2	1,000 fart sounds on your Spotify account wherever you are. That's really unfortunate. But we're in the
1:20.5	middle of something. So I don't think it'd be appropriate for you to take time off, to go and
1:24.1	correct that. Let's just let that run in the background until we're done with our conversation here because this is about the Bible and it's pretty important. Today I was working on a
1:32.9	YouTube short and the YouTube short was about this guy named Alexa Manos. Somebody made a mean
1:39.9	graffiti, a graffito, I guess is the singular, about him a long, long time ago, shortly after
1:45.9	the time of Jesus. And they drew a mean, crude picture of Jesus and a mean crude picture of this
1:50.8	boy. I think it's a super interesting artifact from ancient times because it's the first
1:55.7	surviving image that comes down to us of Jesus. And it's a slanderous one. It's fascinating. I made a video
2:02.6	about it around a year ago. That was a long form video. I made this short form video about it here today.
2:08.7	So I kind of had to revisit it and think through what do I want to say? I've had a year to think about
