Hey, my friends, it's Matt. This is the 10-minute Bible Hour podcast, and we are down to the very end of season five of this program.

Season five has been on the book of Galatians. And I know that every single day, my little data thing that I get, I get a report on what the heck is going on with this podcast. Then it tells me a little bit about

who's listening and who's not. And one of the things that I learn is that every single day on this

podcast, there are new people here. And also I know that some days are more natural in terms of

you being able to jump in and understand what's going on. If this is your first day,

thank you for being here. That's awesome. Also, clearly, we're right at the end of this

whole big season. And, well, I mean, there's a lot here. There's a lot of water under the bridge

as we've been working through the New Testament Book of Galatians. So I'm just going to give

everybody a heads up here. We are only a few days away from

starting our next season, which is season six, which is on the book of Philemon. There's a whole

bunch of stuff in there that we're going to have to cover about a church that is kind of in the

circle of these Galatian churches, the church at Colossae. It's also kind of in the orbit of the church in Ephesus. But also, we got to talk about what slavery was like in the Roman world, and compared to what slavery was like in the American South. I mean, there's just so many interesting things we've got to unpack to make that one go. So you're probably thinking, Philemon, that's a really short book. That's only going to take us a minute.

Now, it's going to take a while. We're going to work on it. It'll be a, you know,

be a little chunk of time. We're going to dive deep into the history and all of the fun stuff with it. And we're going to try to flip that from being a book that everybody kind of is like, yeah, I know it's in there and it's important, I guess,

to a book that you have in your hip pocket.

So my point in all of this,

I know that some of you are here for the very first time,

and this is going know that some of you

are here for the very first time. And this is going to be one of the few times where I'm really going to

allow myself to do a lot of inside baseball here. I'm going to assume that everybody's kind of up

to speed on this season on Galatians. And we're going to try to land the plane along with Paul,

trying to look big picture at what has happened in this book. So if you are new,
