0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.8	I'm Jensen Holt McNair. I would venture to guess that if you've been
0:16.2	following our reading plan through the writings this year, today's section of scripture
0:20.5	had you at least a little bit mad at us. And I get it. When I looked at the passage to get
0:26.0	working on this podcast, I texted Patrick that I was mad at him for giving me today's scripture.
0:31.6	For those of you not reading along along I'll clue you into why. Today we have been

0:46.7	out there who will tell you genealogies are the best. In fact, you know one already.
0:52.1	When I told Patrick that I was mad at him, he responded with. In fact, you know one already.

1:24.0	Genologies won't sell books.
1:27.0	But what I've decided is that the fun doesn't come from the task of reading. It comes from understanding what the author is
1:36.5	communicating through the genealogy. If you have a heartbeat, then you've
1:41.8	probably heard a lot about Taylor Swift this year.
1:45.0	Taylor has infiltrated the NFL, and apparently in doing so, has entered into the minds of everyone everywhere.
1:51.0	And one thing that I've learned from this barrage of news stories and
1:54.9	Swifties accounts is that Taylor likes to leave her fans Easter eggs.
2:00.5	Now an Easter egg is a clue, a hidden message that points to something larger.
