Hello, OnScript listeners.

I'm Matt Wynch coming to you from Regent College in Vancouver.

I'm a host of OnScript along with Matt Bates, Drew Johnson,

Aaronheim, Chris Tilling, and Amy Brown-Hughes.

I want to start with a very special announcement

about something that's brewing at Onscript

and to ask for your help.

Over the past few months, I've been working behind the scenes with some really fantastic

people to develop a spin-off podcast called The Biblical World.

This new podcast is going to focus on the history, archaeology, and cultures of the Bible, and it's going to be

hosted by scholars who are archaeologists themselves or who focus at a deep level on the

context of scripture. I'm really excited about this new OnScript podcast to launch. We already

have about 10 to 15 episodes recorded and hope to bring this to you very soon. The regular OnScript podcast will continue as is. So your subscription to OnScript on your feed won't change, but there'll be a new one called the biblical world that you can subscribe to. And we'd really love your support for this, especially

from those of you with an interest in the world of the Bible. First of all, stay tuned for more

information and share the word when the podcast releases. Hopefully this may. Second, we could

use your financial support to help get this off the ground. There are all sorts of hidden costs to podcasting that really stack up.

If you could help, even just for a little bit, you can do so through OnScript.

Dotty forward slash donate, and we'd really appreciate that.

Most of all, just enjoy the podcast, including this great discussion on the Bible and Borders
