This is the Bama podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we take a look at the ancient use of gospel, or you on Gellion in Greek, and how the New Testament writers are subversively playing off of this Greco-Roman idea.

Yeah. Welcome back from the summer.

It's been a while since we actually sat in this studio recording.

Top secret stuff in the scenes. We're back to our weekly posting schedule though.

We've got some good Facebook love for that. People enjoyed hearing that.

Back to our weekly posting. A lot of things have happened this summer.

I just got back from Israel and Turkey just a couple weeks ago.

So I may be a little bit more jazzed, a little bit more pumped up than usual.

Maybe a little bit more obnoxious whenever the word is.

That's how we started this whole podcasting setup.

That's right. It's good to bring back that original energy.

That's right. You have some developments in your family front.

Yeah, I had a child while we were on break.

Yeah. To be clear, Brent's wife had the child, and he used co-laboring in the parenting call.

A little son named Darius.

Yeah. As in King Darius.

I like that. And changing your personal context more.

You'll be able to speak out of a whole new place in life now.

I didn't think it would be that different or crazy, but it certainly is.

Yeah. All kinds of things are going to change. That's good for listeners to know.

I typically go and bring up our personal lives. I put it on the spot like that.

But it's good personal context.
