| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Eric Mataxis show with your host Eric Mataxis. |
| 0:13.8 | Folks, it's the Eric Mataxis show. I don't know what hour this is, but it's definitely |
| 0:17.4 | one of our two hours. I will also say this is highly possible that Dana Perino is going |
| 0:23.2 | to be on with us today. But here's the issue. Whoever's done next, let me tell you who's |
| 0:29.2 | on right now. Have you heard of sight and sound theaters in Branson, Missouri? Have you heard |
| 0:35.5 | of sight and sound theaters in Lancaster, Pennsylvania? Have you heard of Jesus? That's the title of |
| 0:42.5 | the production. Josh Enk is with us. He is the president and chief story officer. So he claims, |

| 1:41.2 | Age. |
| 1:42.3 | Correct. So like when we do the Noah show, you're in the arc. When we do the parting of the Red Sea and |
| 1:47.3 | the Moses show, you are in the Red Sea. And in the Jesus show, which is the one you're referring to, |
