| 0:00.0 | Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. Thanks for joining. Today, we are reading Isaiah 54 through 60. And I'm back in the studio with Will McElroy. Let's go. I'm excited to be back, Emma. Thanks again for having me. Hey, again, we're just going to look at a few verses today. |
| 0:21.3 | Chapter 56? Is that where we're going? Chapter 56. Take us there. |
| 0:25.7 | Read this morning, I hope you cherish these verses because I cherish them. And in fact, |
| 0:30.4 | I was thinking today as I was prepping Emma that I know many of your listeners probably use Spotify. |
| 0:36.7 | Sure. It might be Apple Podcasts or different |
| 0:38.8 | apps, but I use Spotify. What I love about Spotify is at the end of every year, Spotify shows you |
| 0:44.8 | what your most listened to song was, your most listened to podcasts. They'd kind of tell you what |
| 0:49.9 | your favorite things were for the year. And yours was Taylor Swift. And mine was Taylor Swift. That's right. Yeah, |
| 0:55.5 | no, no, no. It was not. But I don't even know what mine was, actually. I can't remember. But I wish the Bible would do this for us. Like what verses did you read? What verse? What book of the Bible did you read? How much time did you spend in it you know i just wish there was a recap of like what you cherish |
| 0:54.9 | about the Bible. |
| 1:12.6 | But I have a guess, Emma, that from the years of 2022 |
| 1:16.6 | through 2024, so about three years, |
| 1:19.6 | I think Isaiah 56, 2 through 5, |
| 1:22.6 | were my most repeated two verses, |
| 1:25.6 | that when I was just walking, going on walks, or working out, |
| 1:30.3 | or just going about my day, that this was a verse that was just kind of the background noise of my mind. |
| 1:36.2 | Why is that? |
| 1:36.6 | And the reason why, a great question is, for those three years, my wife and I, we were trying to have a baby, |
| 1:43.6 | which if you heard yesterday's |
| 1:45.1 | episode, you heard me reference that, praise God. You did. You have a baby now, and she's amazing, |
| 1:50.7 | but for about three years, we were struggling with infertility. And it was one of the hardest seasons |
| 1:57.3 | of my life of just month after month, God telling us no, and not really having any answers why. |
