Summary
What better way to kick off our Farewell Season (note: this is not an actual farewell) than to unpack a story about Lazarus in which even Jesus didn’t want to say farewell. In this resurrection amuse-bouche of a story, we revisit some familiar characters while exploring enneagram fours as biblical authors, Jewish burial practices, and how to contain your eye-rolling when your rabbi is full of riddles. Roll away that stone and strip off those burial clothes because this season premiere is going to make you come back for more!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this very special episode of the Bible Benjam when your host |
| 0:17.0 | is not going to join me as always. |
| 0:19.3 | Before you go in there take this for breeze because there's going to be a smell. |
| 0:21.8 | It's going to be golden. |
| 0:23.2 | Okay, here's the deal. |
| 0:24.6 | The Bible Benjam is a show where we take stories from the Bible and we recap them as they |
| 0:28.5 | were a movie, a book or a TV show. |
| 0:30.8 | Now we say movie book or TV show because that's what we usually do on our other podcast |
| 0:35.3 | about pop culture, the pop cast, not St. Jaime Ware. |
| 0:37.8 | We talk about popular culture, sacrilege, every Wednesday. |
| 0:41.1 | And before we begin we just want to be clear that the Bible Benjam has no agenda. |
| 0:44.5 | The show isn't meant to be evangelical or adversarial. |
| 0:47.2 | We just think the Bible has some super dope stories and we're going to talk more about |
| 0:49.8 | them and it always says more every man or every woman. |
| 0:52.5 | The conversation will take place as episode is meant to be more casual, not out of disrespect |
| 0:56.4 | but in an effort to better understand story. |
| 0:58.9 | You guys, it is a brand new season of the Bible Benjam in more ways than one. |

| 1:05.8 | Now you're currently listening to what we call a Bible Benjam classic where we recap a |

| 1:13.4 | questions and generally rebukes our interpretation. |
| 1:16.8 | Moving forward, you will get one of these episodes in your Bible Benjam feed every month. |
