0:00.0	You're listening to God's big story, a podcast for kids. Every week we teach the Bible,
0:16.7	sing the Bible, and talk about what it means with a friend or two. I'm your host, Anna,
0:21.6	and I'm here with my co-host Matt. Howdy, friends? Today we're going to be talking about how Jesus came to
0:27.3	save sinners, using a story from the Bible. That's right. Last episode, we talked about how Jesus,

1:37.2	That's right. We do have another special guest joining us today. You know we do. People who know
1:44.1	know a lot about Bible words or a lot about the
1:47.1	Bible in general are called theologians. Let's say theologian together. Theologian.
1:54.3	Hmm, did someone say theologian?
2:03.0	Hey, it's our good friend, Dr. Wiggles P. Wobble Bottom.
2:07.8	Welcome to the show, Doc.
2:09.5	Thank you for having me, Anna and Matt.
