First up today, let's go to a voicemail from one of our listeners.

This is Boris.

My question is really just in regards to the childhood of Christ.

There's a lot that said about it.

There's a lot that seems esoteric maybe and not really based in the Bible.

I just wanted to get your perspective on that and your knowledge on that. You could maybe elaborate on a little bit. I appreciate it. I appreciate that question,

Borisin. And I want to have a little bit of fun with this one because the Bible does not speak a lot

about, you know, what was going on during Jesus' childhood. And I think that we can

gather from what the Bible says a number of things. But you had later a number of things that

were written that sort of sought to fill in the gaps that were not inspired and were kind of out

there and are actually also kind of funny. So you have what's called the Infancy gospel of Thomas, for example, where there's a number of stories about the childhood

Jesus. And one of them, he turns, you know, this clay that he molds, 12 little clay doves or

pigeons or whatever that he molds into actual birds on the Sabbath and everybody's getting

upset with the child Jesus.

I just want to read some of it because it's funny. It's out there, but it's it's, it's funny.
