0:00.0	Hi, I'm Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we
0:07.8	encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is
0:12.8	brought to you by Ascension using the Great Adventure Bible timeline. We'll read all the way from
0:17.1	Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit
0:21.4	into that story today. Today I'm joined by Jeff Kavins once again to introduce the fourth
0:26.2	biblical period of the Great Adventure Bible timeline. You know we've gone through the other
0:30.3	timeline periods. We've looked at the early world. We looked at the patriarchs. We just finished
0:35.3	Egypt and the Exodus. And now we are in the fourth biblical

1:16.0	next period of the desert wanderings. The books we're reading from are Numbers and Deuteronomy.
1:21.8	And I'm just really excited to launch into this next biblical period. Yeah, it's exciting.
1:26.9	Thanks for having me back again. Yeah,
1:28.8	we're going to look at Numbers as the primary narrative book for the desert wanderings, and in the
1:35.0	Bible timeline, it is the color, kind of a tan standing for the desert, you know, the desert experience,
