0:00.0	All right now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but it's never
0:05.4	too late to start, and we're in this together.
0:08.6	This is the Join the Journey podcast.
0:12.0	Thanks for joining you.
0:12.9	My name is Will McElroy, and I'm the shoreline director here at Watermark, which is our
0:17.0	high school ministry, and I am subbing in for Emma today as we cover Ezekiel chapter 19 through 21.
0:24.3	And I'm in the studio with a guest today, a fellow coworker of mine, a Watermark member, Ethan Howard.
0:30.4	What's up, Ethan?
0:31.2	Hey, everyone.
0:32.2	It's good to be back on the podcast.
0:34.3	Yeah, dude, it's fun to be with you, Ethan.
0:36.3	We've been working together for four years now about that. So what do you do here, man? Yeah, so right now I'm on our membership team. Technically, my title is men's connecting coordinator, so I help people through the membership process and also get to have some conversations around baptism as well. And I know a lot of times guests share their story, but Ethan, you've been on
0:54.6	the Watermark News. You've been on Join the Journey and shared your story multiple times. So if you

1:03.4	going to, instead of hearing his story, we're going to jump right in today. Does that sound good,
1:07.1	Ethan? That's great. Look, Ezekiel 19, it starts out with an amazing illustration
1:13.1	and imagery about a lioness and her cubs. And Ethan, as you were reading that today, what stood
1:20.9	out to you from that imagery? What is important about that metaphor that kicks off this chapter here?
1:25.9	Yeah, these chapters fall right in the middle of
1:29.3	Ezekiel and something that should be brought to mind. A lion or a lioness can be often used in
1:35.9	scripture to denote a variety of things, but one of them being royalty. And probably one of the
1:41.6	likely ways to interpret this is to look at the Davidic line, the kings of Israel,
