The 1517 is doing articles, events, academies, Bible in a year. Hey, you know, Chad, this year is coming down. It's coming

to an end. We'd like, dang it, I was going to read the Bible in a year with Chad Bird.

Another opportunity cometh your way, my friends. A new year, a new chance to do the Bible
