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.
0:10.6	I'm Tanya Wilmoth.
0:11.8	I'm Keith Simon. I'm Jensen Holt McNair. And I'm
0:14.8	Patrick Miller. We are exploring the first books of the Bible. Right now we are
0:19.9	in Genesis. Over the years I've signed up for my fair share of email newsletters, some better than others, but

0:29.2	Can you relate?
