0:00.0	Welcome to Tim Minut Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.0	I'm Keith Simon.
0:11.0	And I'm Patrick Miller.
0:13.0	Right now we're answering questions you're asking.
0:16.0	A lot of these are coming from our Facebook page.
0:19.0	So follow 10 minute Bible Talks on Facebook,
0:22.0	vote on your favorite questions, or you can just
0:24.6	give your own and you might hear it right here on the podcast. Should Christians
0:29.9	watch Game of Thrones? This is a conversation you might be surprised to hear. I have had a lot of times
