| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the scriptures are real podcast. |
| 0:13.9 | This is the podcast where we talk about things that have made the scriptures real to us |
| 0:18.0 | so that we can draw more power out of them because we need that. |
| 0:21.1 | And hopefully it helps us understand, come follow me as well. |
| 0:24.0 | I'm your host, Kerry Mealstein, and I'm alone on this one. |
| 0:27.7 | It's kind of a short cast. |
| 0:29.0 | I actually have no idea how long this is going to take. |
| 0:31.5 | It's going to be one where we're just doing history and storyline. |
| 0:35.1 | I may draw a lesson or two as you go along, but what |
| 0:38.1 | I'm finding is that in this lesson in the next one, we're just skipping a ton of material. |
| 0:45.4 | I totally get it, not criticizing the curriculum writers or anything like that, but I am finding |
| 0:51.5 | that some of the most powerful lessons that we will learn from the Old Testament is from the storyline, but you're not going to get it if we don't cover some of the storyline that we're skipping it in the assigned reading. |
| 1:02.7 | And so if you have the time to read it all, I recommend it. I really highly recommend it. |
| 1:07.0 | But I understand that most of us are going to focus on the assigned reading. I don't want my podcast to make it so people don't do readings or don't focus on the |
| 1:14.6 | scriptural text. I certainly don't want that. But I am hoping that I can provide some of the gaps |
| 1:19.7 | so that as I do what will probably be, I haven't figured out exactly yet, but what will probably |
| 1:24.3 | be the first podcast for next week, where we'll have to do some |
| 1:27.6 | really crucial storyline and we'll draw some lessons that I think are incredibly powerful |
| 1:32.0 | lessons, but we won't be able to understand them if we don't know what's been happening |
| 1:37.0 | and what's happening in that storyline. So we're going to start at, in this one, at the end |
| 1:43.3 | of last week's reading, ended in in first kings 19 |
| 1:46.9 | with elisha being called by um elijah after he's been down at mount sinai and he throws his mantle |
