Welcome to this special episode of Bible Talk.

I'm not going to give it a number because I've done that in the past and I get all confused.

So this is a special episode of Bible Talk, which is a podcast brought to you by Nine Marks in Southern Seminary.

Nine Marks exist to help pastors build healthy churches.

Southern Seminary exists to educate, train.

And equip.

And equip, there it is.

I'm a little rusty.

Couldn't find my place.

And equip gospel ministers for a lifetime of faithful service.

Now, the reason I say it's a special episode is because a few months ago, you guys were

nice enough to interview me about, you want to introduce us.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

My name is Alex Duke with me and my two friends.

Sam Ahmati.

Jim Hamill.

Thank you guys. People know by now. You know, the reason I said it was special is because a few months ago you guys were kind enough to chat with me about a little book that I wrote, you know, and that would be self-serving if we didn't return the favor when another one of us has written a book.

Now, the problem with this is that Jim writes considerably more serving if we didn't return the favor when another one of us has written a book.

Now, the problem with this is that Jim writes considerably more books than you or I.

I mean, I have one.

You have a book with maybe another coming.
