So welcome, blow it up with those dancing bananas or those banana nation flags or the dancing party foul steves.

Oh, we're going to roll this Tuesday. So we'll roll over into the Chad Prater's show at the end of the hour.

Feel free to stick around for that.

We're going to start in the book of Mark, the book of Mark,

the gospel of Mark, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John is the shortest gospel. And I want us to just pick our

way through, wallow in the word, as we like to say around here, wallow in the word on the book of Mark.

When we started before the noise, we worked through the book of John.

So we're going to go into Mark's gospel here and see what he has to say about the life of Jesus.

And I'm excited today, man.

I just am, God woke me up.

I don't know how many times God wakes you up with just an incredible power punch of an idea

that just revolutionizes everything that's going on in your brain.

But he did that for me in the wee hours of the morning, which is pretty wee for me,

because I'm already up pretty early.

Let me just tell you, man, when God wakes you up
