| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Ask Pastor John Podcast. We closed the week talking about technology |
| 0:09.7 | and Pastor John because we often get questions from listeners who know that you use technology |
| 0:15.0 | all the time in your Christian walk. Explain for us here today how you use technology, |
| 0:21.1 | how do you do Bible reading on your iPad, and how to use Bible software on your laptop, |
| 0:25.4 | and how do you use podcasts and audiobooks to serve your soul. How does all of this |
| 0:29.5 | technology work for you? I think the first thing to say is that nobody should try to copy |
| 0:37.7 | anyone else in this regard because our circumstances and our needs and our gifts, |
| 0:45.5 | our vulnerabilities are so different. So perhaps the best way for someone to listen to what I'm |

| 1:46.9 | when I first started, but as long as I can remember, I've been doing this. I've done it now for |
| 1:52.4 | quite a few years on my iPad using various Bible software. Now I'm using Logos software. It provides |
| 2:04.0 | a way for my daily readings. This year I'm using Machines reading plan, which to get you through |
| 2:11.3 | the whole Bible once, through the New Testament twice, through the Psalms twice reads about 45 chapters |
| 2:18.2 | a day and Logos enables me to see on my home screen every day what the next place is to be read |
| 2:27.0 | in the Bible and you just click on it. It takes you to that place and when you're done with that |
