Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona,

visit real faith.com, where you'll find study guides to go along with each sermon series as he

preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily devotions, free

And we've seen the beginning of our planet,

we've seen the beginning of animal life, plant life, we've seen the first two human beings,

Adam and Eve, we've seen the first marriage, we've seen the first children born, we've seen the first

Start all over again with Noah and his wife and their three kids.

We've covered a lot of ground.
