I know what I'll be doing with my afternoon. The first part was great.
Hey gang. I'm not as versed in the latter portions of Daniel as I'd like, so I felt a little shaky at times throughout this portion. So--don't judge me too harshly and, of course, I'm more than happy to field questions!
Giving you guys a listen for the first time!
400-rabbits you have a perfect moderator voice. I look forward to these podcasts voraciously
I do have one complaint. You're covering the old testament, but then you talked about Jesus and revealed that he died in it. You should really have a spoiler warning on that. Now I feel like I don't even have a reason to read the rest of the new testament.
(I'm kidding, but I do want to say how excellent this podcast is. I admit I wasn't expecting anything as good when I started listening to it. Each one just gets better and better.)
