much to those of you who

New guest hosts today. So we are going to be hitting up Paul's Letter to the Galatians, and we are

joined by Jacob Smith all the way out there at Calvary St. George's in New York City. And so if you do hear, you know, some honking, some foul language, just like someone yelling out of a car window, there's nothing Jake can do about it. There's nothing I can do. He's in the thick of Manhattan, man. He can't. It's just part of the vibe. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's great to be here with you guys.

A long-time listener, first-time caller. And so I love 30 minutes in the New Testament. And it's

really helped me actually with my own preaching and my own teaching. And so it's a real honor to be a

part of this. Awesome. Thanks for joining us, Jake. I mean, for those of you who may not know, Jacob and I have quite a history together

when I was planting my church in New York City.

I was living right next door to one of the parishes that he oversees, St. George's.

And so Jake and I got to know each other pretty well, got together for bagels and coffee

on a pretty regular basis and talked shop about doing ministry in a place like Manhattan, which is, I think it's safe to say, fairly unique.

It's a different, different animal when you're ministering in a place like that.

So it's good to have you on the pod and good to be able to chop it up over the book of Galatians.

Of course, just by way of introduction, little intro to Galatians.

It is sort of unanimous that, I mean, there's not really any debate over this that the

Apostle Paul is the author. Obviously, those are the very first words of the book.

But there are some books that are attributed to Paul that scholars will debate over.
