I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time.

Hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is a sweaty armpit

because your wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps and heath and you get to the top

and you're like, and then you can see the breath but then your nose is still freezing to touch.

Joy and every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

Welcome to the Wednesday Bible study. We are excited that you are here and man,

we're walking through the book of Genesis. We have been at this. We're about to wrap up our 10th month.

Walking through the book of Genesis today, chapter 42. If you want to go ahead and make your way there

as I kind of update you on some things that are going on, those of you that may be new to the Bible study,

we are coming to you from the studios of the Rick and Bubba Show. I'm Rick Burgess. I'm co-host of the Rick and Bubba Show.

You can find out more about that at RickandBubba.com but also director of themanchurch.com.

This Bible study began when I was in my local church looking and experimenting and searching scripture and praying for a better way to reach and disciple the men of the church and of the surrounding community.

This is part of that. We have men here in the room. A lot of them have been coming for eight years to this Bible study. Some of them just started coming last week and then a lot of them somewhere in between.

We have people here in the room if you're ever in Birmingham, Alabama. You want to come to the Rick and Bubba Studios on a Wednesday at noon central time.

We'd love to have you with us. I have you out at one o'clock central time and then of course you can watch the archive of this on the Rick and Bubba YouTube channel.

Or listen to the audio only archive on the Rick and Bubba podcast channel. If you're looking for past Bible studies, those audio archives can be found at Burgessministries.com under listen.

I mean, these are archives back over eight years different series that you might be interested in. You can also find a lot of them on the Rick and Bubba YouTube channel as well.

Just by going up and searching the men's Bible study and you can find those archives. If that's what you prefer. Now with that being said, themanchurch.com is where you can find that men's discipleship strategy.

We launched that in March one of 2020. We're about two and a half years old about 550 churches around the country are implementing the strategy and involves men gathering together in their own services for worship and high challenge, but then putting men into small groups like this for high quipping.

We have 40 week curriculum available for the high quipping and you can find those by going to themanchurch.com where it says get started. It'll show you the strategy and you can find those curriculum. We have a fourth one coming out in 2023.

So we'll tell you more about that when it comes out and speaking of 2023. We also have our first ever man church conference.

That's coming to my hometown Oxford, Alabama. If you and your man of your church or your community are just you want to come. We would love to have you. Those tickets are on sale. Now we'll tell you they are moving.
