Hey guys, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is dial in. I want to thank you all for continuing to listen to the show.

I'm humbled and grateful that each week listeners from over 150 countries dial in not to hear my

find out about the show and listen to biblical content, which is what is on my heart. On a personal

is as well known as the ship's name, that being the Titanic. The ship carrying 2,240 passengers,

was, no pun intended, a titan in regards to size, industry, and innovation.

At nearly 900 feet long and 100 feet wide,

the ship was believed to be invincible and indestructible,

and consequently it was deemed unnecessary to possess the proper amount of lifeboats,

because, after all, what could possibly happen to the Titanic?

Now, in the days after departing from Southampton, the Titanic received numerous warnings from other ships that were traveling in the exact same area the Titanic would be sailing.
