0:00.0	Welcome to 10-minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:09.4	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.9	I'm Tanya Wilmuth.
0:12.9	Usually we think of confrontations as heated or uncomfortable moments.
0:17.1	How do you feel about confrontation, by the way?
0:19.0	That's what I should have asked to start.

1:05.9	And are we letting Jesus be the king of our lives?
1:08.7	So that's kind of setting the table for where we are today.
1:11.8	Now, the Gospel of Luke is written by someone who is insightful, he's direct, he's detail-oriented.
1:17.1	I just love to read the Gospel of Luke. And if you haven't, you should just kind of take time to read it
1:21.9	through from beginning to end. But in Luke's account of Jesus' trial before Pilate and Herod,
