Hey, everybody, I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. And I remember one time

when I was a kid, I was watching Saturday Night Live and Bill Pullman of Spaceball's fame.

And I think at the time this episode came out, he had recently been in Mr. Wrong, where

I think his character name alongside Ellen DeGeneres was Whitman. I'm pretty sure that's

who he was in that show. He's a psychopath. And it was really funny. Bill Pullman was a big deal

at this point. You would want to watch a Saturday Night Live episode with Bill Pullman. And I remember

this one skit. He comes out and I had to look up the name. It's John Hayward. He comes out and he's

like, hello, I'm John Hayward and I'm super, super rich. But I wasn't always a good guy until I

discovered the Bible. And especially this passage. And then he goes and reads Matthew 19, the stuff that

you and I are working on this week. And particularly he picks it up right where we left off yesterday. Jesus

tells the rich young ruler sell your possessions, give it to the poor, then come follow me and the

rich young ruler walks away because he's sad because he had great wealth. And then in the Saturday

life skit, then Jesus said to his disciples, I tell you the truth. It's hard for a rich man to

enter the kingdom of heaven. Again, I tell you it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a

needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. And then Bill Pullman's character goes on

to be like that passage changed my world. And it caused me to decide to start using my billions for

good. That's why I started the Hayward foundation for figuring out how to get a camel to fit through

the eye of a needle. And then he takes you on this tour of his lab. And he's like, oh, this guy over

here is figuring out how to puree a camel to see if he can pour it through the eye of a needle.

It's a pretty good joke. But for me, it was particularly funny because I think it was right in the

middle of a class on the New Testament as I was watching this skit. And in this class, we had just

talked about the interpretations of this passage, which I think comes up in all three synoptic
