Hey, everybody. I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. And yesterday I started

a conversation with my friend Aaron Eutek, who is sitting right here. Aaron, hello, once

again, hello, once again. It's just completely fake because we're cutting it right in the

middle knowing full well that we're talking too long. It has to be a two-parter. So we're

just going to keep talking because I feel like we've got a lot that I want to still mine

from this conversation about Matthew 19. And the rich kid who comes up to Jesus and

is like, Hey, what do I need to do to get eternal life? And then he and Jesus have this exchange

that we're talking about right now. And I just want to let the conversation run as long

as it runs. And that's why I'm posting it as a special bonus Saturday episode. So we're

going to do this. And then Monday, we'll get back to business as usual and spend some

more time looking at this passage just with me. All right. So with that said, here's a

little bit of music. And then we're going to pick up where we left off in the conversation.

Bonus episode, a bonus episode of the 10 minute Bible, our podcast.

Sometimes if you go right at people, their defensive reflexes come up. And by the

guy coming forward to Jesus, this isn't probably a private conversation. Now he's sort

of stuck. Like, okay, you just pinpricked my balloon in front of everyone. And now I'm

kind of on the hook. I can, I have to either disqualify you as a teacher or accept what

you say and go do something about it. Why do you think this is a private conversation?

Well, it's recorded. Somebody else's conversation with Nicodemus is recorded in John. Some

people actually argue that the conversation with Nicodemus wasn't all that private. He

came to him at night, but maybe not necessarily privately. But surely we have other private

conversations that are, sure, recorded. You seem pretty sure why do you think it's public?
