Well, Mando Gonzalez officially welcome to certainty for uncertain times and officially on to the Voices of Certainty segment that I'm doing on this channel.

I am elated today that you are here.

And just as I said offline a few minutes ago, it is such an honor to have you here and to be talking about the topic that we are going to cover today because it is such a topic that is gaining a lot of traction, which is really exciting, especially as we start to see all of these in-times events unfold around us. So before we jump into this questionnaire that we've got today, I want you to introduce yourself for people that may not know who you are, talk about what you do, and anything you'd like to share with the audience.

Christian or especially a teacher is hermeneutics, is understanding how do we interpret the Bible

because there are so many various interpretations. And so I did that. I tell people that if I, if Jesus was Chinese, I would have studied Chinese studies.

But he was Jewish and so I learned Hebrew and Greek and other things there.

And then I went on and got a degree in archaeology because I realized, again, another layer of context provided for the background of Scripture.

Again, to understand scripture better and to understand it properly is the archaeological context.

So I did that.

And then a pastor for a long time, a few different churches across the country.

And then a few years ago, three years ago, actually, the Lord brought me here to
