| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody and welcome back to I Just Want to talk about the Bible. |
| 0:09.2 | If this is your first time joining us today, then let me welcome you and say that I am so glad that you're here. |
| 0:14.6 | My name is Christian Keeter and I live in the southeast of the United States of America with my amazing, beautiful, godly wife Lacey, |
| 0:21.8 | and our two wonderful daughters, Felicity and Serenity. Today we are talking about zeal. Now, |
| 0:29.6 | zeal is not necessarily a word that we use in everyday speech. It's, you know, days may go |

| 1:34.0 | so just a couple of definitions really quickly about the first one for the English |
| 1:39.6 | word zeal it is a strong feeling of interest and enthusiasm that makes someone very eager or determined |

| 2:03.8 | focused desire characterized by passion and commitment. Focused desire characterized by passion and |
