Summary
If you don’t like freewheeling conversation, laughter, and banter among friends, then this may not be the episode for you. But if you are interested in hearing the three amigos share their thoughts on George Washington, figure skating, patriotism, and the state of the Young, Restless, and Reformed movement, then you are in for a treat. And you won’t want to miss Collin’s list of favorite human beings and whether he has emphysema or was simply jogging on a treadmill before the episode.

| 0:32.6 | There are over 20,000 study notes from over 300 of the church's most prominent figures throughout history, |
| 0:40.3 | Athanasius, Chrysostom, Martin Luther, and more. So this is designed to help Christians |
| 0:47.3 | of whatever age try to see how the scriptures that you're reading were understood or served as inspiration for or connected with |
| 0:57.8 | the events of church history. So for all serious readers, students, teachers of God's Word, |
| 1:04.8 | the ESV Church History Study Bible will highlight voices from the past and it will, in so doing, offer wisdom for the present. |

| 1:52.4 | focused on those key events from the last week of Christ's life to his death and then his |
| 1:59.4 | glorious resurrection. And you can receive a daily |
| 2:02.8 | devotional to consider how Jesus saved the world in that one week. Of course, his whole life |
| 2:10.4 | and ministry and his work after that, but we are right to focus on that in many ways as the |
| 2:16.6 | most important week in the history of the world, or the |
| 2:19.3 | week that changed the world. The website is desiring god.org slash holy week, and you can sign up |
