I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking

0:05.8

biblically about everything. This is going to be like a Q&A and the Q&A can can be

0:12.3

about whatever you want it to be about.

0:15.0

Can ask any question you want.

0:18.0

As always, I have a rule during a Q&A and my rule is I'm not going to make stuff up.
