Hey, my name's Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast, and if this is your first time here,

first of all, thank you for hanging out and giving this thing a shot. Second of all, you

don't have to go back to the beginning, which would now be 160 episodes ago, to figure out

what's going on. You can just jump in right here. If you're enjoying it, you can jump back to the beginning and it'll fill in a lot of gaps as well.

But we try to do this in a way. We can just pick it up. So thanks to everybody for being here, new people,

people who are just jumping in.

Those of you who have hung out with me for a while, know that a while back I was on the road and

I had to do a couple of episodes at my friend Aaron's house and so I made a little fort out of sleeping bags and

blankets and stuff and it sounded awful. Well this might be my second worst

setup ever. I'm at my buddy Adam's house sitting out in front of his place in

Fort Collins, Colorado in my truck. This is gonna be a little at my

house sitting out in front of his place in Fort Collins, Colorado in my truck.

This is gonna be a little like OE, there's gonna be a little bit of cars, but hey

I'm on the road, what can I do, right?

Here's the thing though, this place is really interesting because I actually grew up

just two, no three houses down from my friend Adam who got this house

from his parents so he still lives here so it's really reminiscent whenever I come back to

this particular place and I remember when Adam and I when we were in fifth grade we got walkie talkies because

you know phones were the kind of thing that just one person in the house could use at a time

and as we've discussed before parents could get a little grumpy if you didn't honor the phone rules. So we got these walkie-talkies from the pick and save. They were like $2 and they didn't have a great range or anything, but if we stood in just the right part of the houses and we made a phone

call first to make sure the other one had their walkie-talkie on and was standing in the proper place,

we could transcend distance together.
