All the other podcasts that are over there.

And we've got the podcast network.

We got friends of the podcast network. We got all kinds of stuff for you to click on over there. So go do that, you know, take a couple of academies, read some articles, and then go over that donate link in the right hand corner and, you know, help support the work. That would go a long way. We'd appreciate it very much. And if you already do that, we do appreciate that very much. Chad, we are in Isaiah 43. You know, I've, I'd realize this

the other day. I think this is the 42nd episode in Isaiah. Oh, so we are averaging about a chapter and episode.

We're real close.

We've come a long way since we covered one verse in the first episode.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're doing, we're doing good.

But it does tell you, we've been in this for a lot of weeks.

Like this, this 2025 is the year of Isaiah.

I don't have to look and see what the date was that we first published, we published the first episode in Isaiah.

But I think we've been in Isaiah basically this whole year.

Yeah, I think that we have.

Yeah, I knew that it would take us a little over a year, you know, maybe a year and a couple months. That's what I was planning on. Because especially with stuff like this, it's pretty hard to, like, cover two chapters in episode. Maybe some of them, if they're really short. Yeah, but for the most part, if we cover a chapter and episode, I'm happy with it. Yeah. So, yeah, well, we're making

progress. We are. So we will definitely finish up 43 today and get into, get into 44, which

has this great section on idolatry and the silliness. Sillings. I know, it's crazy. Isaiah is talking about idolatry and the silliness.

Silliness.
