0:00.0	Hello my friends, my friends. Welcome to another episode of follow him. My name's
0:06.8	Hank Smith. I'm your host. I'm here with my humble in heart. Co-host John by the way and
0:11.7	our guest this week Dr Barbara Morgan Gardner.
0:15.4	John I know you know the book of Jacob we're switching from first second if I
0:20.0	now Jacob what are we looking forward to today?
