0:00.0	One of the best things that you can do for your faith in 2026 is to make reading your Bible a regular habit.
0:09.1	Join 10-minute Bible Talks, study of the Gospels by downloading the 2026 Bible reading plan
0:15.3	and reading a Bible passage that goes with each day's podcast episode.
0:20.4	You can find the link to get your Bible reading
0:23.0	plan in today's show notes. Welcome to 10-minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to

1:47.0	based on his birth. BC means before Christ. An AD stands for the Latin words,
1:53.9	Anodominy. It means in the year of our Lord. Jesus changed how we treat the vulnerable,
