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

If this is your first time joining us, then let me just welcome you and say that I am so glad that you're 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.

So before we hop into the content for today's episode, let me just do a little bit of quick

housekeeping. For anyone who gave to this ministry in 2023, you should have received an email with like the contribution report

for whenever you file your taxes. And if you did not receive one of those and you did give to, I just

want to talk about the Bible in 2023, then just please email me at I Just Want to Talk About at

gmail.com. And I will happily get that sorted out for you very very quickly

and thank you so much to all the all of those who who did give to those of you who

um supported this ministry in 2023 may the lord bless you abundantly for your generosity

so let's move on today into the episode. I will say at the outset,

that this is something that I am still in the process of learning, which is why it's on my heart

and why I want to share it with you guys. At the end of this episode, you may very well

walk away with a lot of unanswered questions. And like I said,

I'm still learning myself. However, I do think that what we're going to talk about today is going to be a

piece to the puzzle, that it will indeed contribute to the conversation. And hopefully we'll provide

at least a little bit of clarity for you as well as in your own walk with the

Lord. So having said that, let me just pause really quickly and ask for the Lord's blessing on this time

because unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain, right? Like there's,

unless the Lord blesses and honors this time, then it's just not going to amount to anything except

just a bunch of noise. So let's just pause and do that.
