0:00.0	Welcome to Think Bivocally, Conversations on Faith and Culture, a podcast from Talbot School
0:06.6	of Theology here at Biola University.
0:09.1	I'm your host Scott Ray, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Christian Ethics.
0:13.0	And I'm your co-host, Sean McDow, Professor of Christian Apologetics.
