But even more than that, what if it could do more than just be read? And when you read your Bible, I assume you're not just trying to read it like you'd read any book. There's something deeper that you're trying to do when you read your Bible, isn't there?
0:21.4	Yeah. Yeah. As we say all the time, the Bible is the only book that as you read it,

0:33.3	it comes to understanding and learning what God's word has to say for you in particular
0:39.0	and specifically for you and your purpose in life. So, you know, the filament Bible app is so good
0:44.8	because it breaks down stuff where you can learn and have the wisdom of God broken down for you
