1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: For the word of the Cross is foolishness to those 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: who are dying, but to us who are being saved, 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: it is God First Corinthians one eighteen. Dear Lord Jesus, 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: we stand in awe of your incarnation, humbled that you 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: would choose us to witness your love and grace. Fill 6 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: our hearts with reverence for your holiness. Give us the 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: boldness to share your good news without fear of rejection 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: or failure. We know that the message of your gospel 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: holds the power to change and transform lives. May we 10 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: press forward with boldness and joy, sharing with others the 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: same message that has changed our lives. May our lives 12 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: echo the shepherd's song of hope and redemption. Empower us 13 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: with your spirits to be bold, brave, and humble in 14 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: the presence of others. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen, 15 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: Go therefore and see for yourselves. You will find the 16 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: baby wrapped in swaddling class lying in a manger. The 17 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Angel continued his words, infused with an urgency that set 18 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: their hearts aflame. As he spoke, the choir of angels 19 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: slowly rose their voices. The light swirled to the rising 20 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: and falling of their harmony. Finally, the song crescendoed into 21 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: a resonating song of praise. Then, as suddenly as it 22 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: had come, the light dissipated, leaving the valley bathed in 23 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: the soft glow of the stars. 24 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: Once more, The melodies of heaven were replaced by the 25 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: gentle whispers of the evening wind and a few chirping crickets. 26 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: The shepherds sat stunned and silent, their minds reeling from 27 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: the vision they had just witnessed. The oldest shepherd turned 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: to his companions. Did we all just see that? Or 29 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: is this old man finally loosing his mind? The two 30 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: others nodded their heads in confirmation that they had all 31 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 2: born witness. Still stunned by what they had seen, slowly 32 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: their eyes turned towards Bethlehem, where a few torchlights still 33 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 2: flickered in the distance. Resting above the city was a 34 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: new star, radiant and singular, unlike any they had seen before. 35 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: The older shepherd turned to his young friend and laughed, you. 36 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: May get to see royalty after all. They all laughed 37 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: with unexplainable joy. With a shared understanding, they rose, leaving 38 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: their belongings behind. Their steps quickening as they ran towards Bethlehem. 39 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: Their hearts were aflame with a joy they could not 40 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 3: contain and a purpose they could not deny. 41 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 4: Hello, I'm pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the 42 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: Bible in a Year podcast. This episode explores the themes 43 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 4: of reverence, evangelism, and the humbling joy of being chosen 44 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 4: to witness God's goodness. In our last episode, a small 45 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 4: group of shepherds were visited by a choir of angels, 46 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 4: proclaiming the newborn King. With passion in their hearts, the 47 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: shepherds will embark on a search for a child lying 48 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: in a manger. Their search for Jesus mirrors our own. 49 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 4: We stumble in darkness, looking for hope around every corner, 50 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: and when we finally find Jesus, joy abounds in our hearts. 51 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 4: I pray that this story will be a beacon of 52 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: hope for anyone lost in darkness. The Gospel of John 53 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 4: describes Jesus as a light that darkness cannot overcome. The 54 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: closer you are to Christ, the further you are from darkness. Now, 55 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 4: let's place ourselves in the sandals of these shepherds. Let's 56 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: step into the presence of Christ and feel the gravity 57 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: of his goodness. This story will showcase the transformative power 58 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 4: of Jesus's presence and how it changes us from the 59 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 4: inside out. After this story, we'll unpack themes and lessons 60 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: to take into our daily walk with God. 61 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: The city of Bethlehem was still asleep. Silence covered the 62 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: night like a warm blanket. Dawn was approaching to welcome 63 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: the chirping of birds and the humming of vendors preparing 64 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: for the day. The tranquil silence of the morning was 65 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: interrupted by the ragged breaths of shepherds desperately searching for 66 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: a child swallowed in a manger. Are we sure we 67 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: heard the angel correctly, one of the masked. Would the 68 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: child really be found in a feeding trough? It seemed absurd, 69 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: But then again, it was absurd for acquire of angels 70 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: to visit a few lowly shepherds. The wisdom of God 71 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: seemed like foolishness to the world. None of it makes sense, 72 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 2: the older shepherd said, with a chuckle. But we know 73 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 2: what we heard and saw. The companions paced through town, 74 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: looking behind fences and walls for any sign of a 75 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: baby in a manger. Their enthusiasm didn't wane, especially when 76 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: they heard the faint cries of a new born baby 77 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: in the distance. The shepherds followed the sound down a 78 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 2: cobbled stairway of an inn carved into the side of 79 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: the hill. A flickering oil lamp revealed shadows of two 80 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: people leaning over a crying baby. The babies crying turned 81 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: to soft whimpers, eventually soothed by his mother's voice. The 82 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 2: shepherds inched closer, finally stopping at its entrance. When they 83 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: reached the stable, their bodies froze in reverence. Their minds 84 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: grappled with the enormity of what lay within. Like Moses 85 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: near the burning bush, they knew that they were on 86 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: wholly ground. The air was thick with expectancy. As they 87 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: peered into the shadows, Joseph met their eyes and stood up. 88 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: He stepped forward, blocking their view of his wife and child. 89 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: Who are you, he asked. Mary reached out and touched 90 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: his arm, her eyes filled with understanding. They came to 91 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 2: see him, She whispered, her eyes soft and tired. Joseph's 92 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: eyes softened, and he nodded, stepping aside to allow the 93 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 2: shepherds to approach with hesitant steps. The shepherds came closer, 94 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: their hearts fluttering with awe and eyes brimming with tears. 95 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: The humble surroundings faded away as they beheld him. The 96 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: baby Jesus lay in a manger, his tiny form wrapped 97 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: in swaddling clothes, his face radiant with innocence and promise. 98 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 2: They were overwhelmed with joy and humility. God chose these 99 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: simple men to witness his new born son. The knowledge 100 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: was a weight and a blessing, a secret that filled 101 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: them with the reverence they had never known. The youngest 102 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: shepherd of the three stepped forward with humility. He pulled 103 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 2: out a woolen blanket he had woven himself from his lambs. 104 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: He handed it to Mary, his voice, choked with emotion, 105 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: faltered as he for the child, a humble gift. Mary's 106 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: eyes beamed with gratitude as she accepted the offering, her 107 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 2: lips curving into a gentle smile. Thank you, she whispered. 108 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: Her voice was warm and soothing. The shepherds bowed to Jesus, 109 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: their bodies trembling with the enormity of the moment. A 110 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: profound and unbreakable connection had been forged a moment in 111 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: time that would resonate throughout the ages. Mary didn't say anything. 112 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: She pondered everything in her heart, wondering what the future 113 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: held for Jesus. The shepherds stood and bowed their heads 114 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: to Mary and Joseph. They exited the stable, stealing one 115 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: final glance at the child. Before they left, the sun 116 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: began to rise over the hills, painting the sky with 117 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: hues of gold and pink. Their hearts were filled with 118 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,559 Speaker 2: an overflowing well of joy. Their contemplative walk slowly turned 119 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: into a dance of praise and worship. Soon enough, the 120 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: shepherds were shouting through the streets, their voices raised in 121 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: worship and faces glowing with a light that drew curious onlookers. 122 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: Some shook their heads, thinking the shepherds were crazy, drunk, 123 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: or both. But the shepherds, undeterred by scorn, proclaimed that 124 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: the Messiah had been born and they had been privileged 125 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: to see him. Word began to spread like ripples in 126 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: a pond, the whispers growing in strength and conviction. The 127 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: shepherd's testimony, although unlikely, rekindled hope and a few who 128 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: heard it. If the Messiah had truly been born. Then 129 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: hope for Israel was alive. The testimony reached the ears 130 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: of some of the servants of Herod, the land's ruler. 131 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: Their faces paled, their hearts pounding with fear and hope. 132 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: They did not tell Herod, choosing instead to hold silent, 133 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: their minds filled with dreams of redemption from the oppression 134 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: of Rome. Once weighed down by sorrow and suffering, the 135 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 2: land seemed to awaken to a new possibility. The whispers 136 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: grew into a chorus of voices, a community unit night 137 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: by faith and longing. In that humble stable, a child 138 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: had been born, a king who would change the world. 139 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: The shepherds, once forgotten guardians of their flock, had become 140 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: heralds of a new era, their voices resonating with the 141 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 2: truth that would transcend time and space. 142 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: As the day. 143 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: Unfolded, the sun casting a golden glow on the land, 144 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: the shepherds returned to their fields. Their souls were forever changed. 145 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: They looked to the bright blue skies and bast in 146 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: the sun's warmth. Their eyes would permanently be filled with 147 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: wondering gratitude that God had chosen them to bear witness 148 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: to his greatest gift. It was a story they would 149 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 2: tell for the rest of their lives, a tale of 150 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: faith and providence, of humility and grace. They had stood 151 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: on holy ground, and they had witnessed God incarnate in 152 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 2: the silence of the fields. As the sheep grazed and 153 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: the world moved on, they would remember, and they would 154 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 2: give thanks, their voices raised in a song that would 155 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 2: echo through the ages, a melody of hope and redemption. 156 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 4: I want us all to pause for a moment and 157 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: consider how strange this scene would be to an ancient reader. 158 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 4: The God of all creation chose to dwell among us, 159 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 4: not in the form of a tyrant or warrior, but 160 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: as a child when he was born. He chose to 161 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 4: be born from a poor family in a stable set 162 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 4: in a feeding trough, And as he lay there in 163 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 4: a manger, his first worshipers were a few lowly shepherds. 164 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 4: God packaged a remarkable event in unremarkable circumstances. This is 165 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 4: proof to us that God uses the foolish things of 166 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 4: this world to confound the wisdom of the wise. We 167 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 4: often want to see God move in mighty in miraculous ways, 168 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 4: like Moses parting the seas or Elijah calling down fire 169 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 4: from heaven. Still, the Christmas story reminds us that God 170 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 4: is also at work in life's mundane and unremarkable margins. 171 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 4: God chose to move in a run down stable surrounded 172 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 4: by ordinary shepherds. Therefore He can work in your life 173 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 4: as well. The shepherd's reaction as they entered the stable 174 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 4: was pure awe. They felt the weight of the moment. 175 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 4: They were in the presence of something holy and divine. 176 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 4: In today's fast paced, noisy world, the concept of reverence 177 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 4: can seem outdated, out of touch. Yet these simple men 178 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 4: teach us timeless lessons about reverence and worship. What does 179 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 4: it mean to have reference and awe for God? First, 180 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 4: it means to recognize God's holiness. Just as Moses stood 181 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 4: before the burning bush, the shepherds realized that they were 182 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 4: on holy ground and responded accordingly. This encounter invites us 183 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: to recognize God's sanctity in our lives. Do we approach 184 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: God with the recognition that He is holy and set 185 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 4: apart from us? Second, the shepherds allowed themselves to be 186 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 4: suspended in wonder. Their hearts were fluttering with awe in 187 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: the presence of Christ. This awe and wonder at God's 188 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: nature is something we can cultivate by reflecting on God's greatness, 189 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 4: his love, and his works in our lives. It requires 190 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 4: us to pause and ponder and press into the glory 191 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 4: of God. When was the last time you stepped back 192 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 4: and allowed yourself to be in awe of God? Lastly, 193 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 4: the shepherds responded to God's holiness with evangelism. The shepherds 194 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 4: didn't keep their experience to themselves. They went out into 195 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: the streets proclaiming the birth of the Messiah. Fight scorn 196 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 4: and misunderstanding. The shepherds boldly share the good news. We 197 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: are called to share our faith with others, not fearing rejection. 198 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: Their testimony ignited hope in the hearts of those who heard. 199 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 4: Sharing our faith can catalyze hope in a world often 200 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 4: weighed down by despair. Some people will doubt your testimony, 201 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 4: and others will receive it gladly. First Corinthians, Chapter one, 202 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 4: verse eighteen tells us that the gospel is folly to 203 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: those who are perishing, but to those who believe it's 204 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 4: a source of power. The realization that they were chosen 205 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 4: to witness this event overwhelmed the shepherds with joy and humility. 206 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 4: The shepherds were simple men, yet they were chosen. This 207 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 4: is a profound reminder that God's choosing is not based 208 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: on status or worldly qualifications, but on his grace. My friends, 209 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: you are chosen. You are chosen to be witnesses to 210 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 4: the light and love of Christ. Just as the shepherds 211 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 4: proclaimed the Messiah and the city streets, so too should 212 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 4: we boldly proclaim the good news of Jesus. May this 213 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: Christmas season awaken us a renewed reverence of boldness to 214 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 4: share the joy of Christ, and a profound gratitude that 215 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 4: we have been chosen to be part of God's marvelous plan. 216 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 4: Thanks for listening to today's Bible in a Year podcast. 217 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 4: I'm Pastor Jack Graham from Dallas, Texas.
