| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. Thank you so much for hanging out with me |
| 0:12.7 | and talking about the Bible. |
| 0:14.1 | This week of the podcast is brought to you by Dwell. |
| 0:16.6 | It's an audio Bible app that I love. |
| 0:18.9 | I hope you'll check it out. |
| 0:19.7 | It's available on your phones, iPhones, |
