| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate |
| 0:06.8 | relevance and application of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. We also dive into |
| 0:11.0 | the history and cultures of the text. |
| 0:13.2 | Thanks for taking the time to share and subscribe to this podcast. |

| 0:19.8 | Welcome to talking in scripture. I'm Mike and I'm Bryce and today we are doing |
