This is the 10 minute Bible Hour podcast and I went real quick here on the front end

I want to say welcome to a whole bunch of new people who jumped in and

started participating in the

podcast here over the weekend. I think it's really cool that you're here. I don't

know who you are yet. It's just that I own a computer and it tells me the numbers about

things and I can tell that a lot of you are trying this out probably this is your first episode like day of episode that you've encountered and so that's exciting for me.

Thank you for being here. If you are anything like all of the people who already listen to this,

because this is a pretty diverse group of people

where the objective is not ultimately for me to duplicate myself and every

opinion I've ever had in every single person who listens. Rather the objective is

hang out with people who might not see the world the exact same way but who

acknowledge that there's something pretty special about the Bible

and who would like to understand one book of the Bible for starters really really really well

and so we're putting a lot of energy into historical context

and literary context and stuff like that and also from time to time we hit pause
