Hey everybody and welcome back to I Just Want to talk about the Bible.

If this is your first time joining us today, then let me just welcome you and say that I am very glad that you are here.

My name is Christian Keeter and I live in the southeast of the United States of America with my amazing, beautiful, godly

wife Lacey and our two wonderful daughters, Felicity and Serenity. All right. Well, today, guys,

we have a bonus episode, which simply means this. This is an additional episode above and beyond

the normal pacing of uploads that I try to do. And part of the reason why I wanted

to make this into a bonus episode is because a lot of the content that we're going to be discussing

today has been touched on in episode 48 of this podcast, which is entitled Five Loaves and Two Fish.

That was recorded over a year ago at the time of this recording.

And that also explains the title of this episode, Revisiting the 5,000. So there's going to be

some overlapping content, although there's going to be additional content as well. And there

was enough additional content that I wanted to include it on this podcast. So it is a recording of a lesson that I

recently taught at a church service. Mentoring Men for the Master, which is the ministry that I'm

on staff with, was invited to come and speak during a mission Sunday. And so I will share with

you the recording of that here. And I also just wanted to share that up front because you'll hear me talk a bit about the ministry during the sermon and just wanted to give you a little bit more context of when and where all this happened.

So one last thing before I transition over to the recording of that is simply

this. In this sermon, I mentioned to the people who are listening that if they are interested in

making disciples or being disciple themselves, then mentoring men for the master wants to help.

And I just want to say to you guys, to you listeners right now, that that same invitation

extends to you as well. So what you hear me say in the sermon also applies to you. So I will

include a link to mentoring men's website in the show notes of this episode.
