Hello and welcome to Bible Stories, I am your host, Matt Moans.

Our other host, Todd Hemens, is out on retreat this week.

And in his stead is my good friend and coworker, Corbin Watkins, recording on our lunch break.

Corbin, welcome.

The absolute pleasure, Matt, like I said, have been dreaming of being on your podcast since

I heard you had one.

You need to have better dreams, Corbin.

But thank you so much, Corbin and I work on the same team.

And we've been together for almost a year now, nine months, nine, the best nine months

Know that I'll always be here for you, Corbin.

Somebody wanted to go from Judea all the way up north.
