You know, I was thinking to myself, like, You don't start the podcast and you want people to be hooked in the very first couple of seconds Like you want to retain your listeners for as long as you desire or you require What do you have you got about doing that? Like how do you set up your podcast to ensure that there is maximum engagement and so I had to write my on that question for a while and I realized that there is literally nothing you can do in that regard It's more or less a situation of whereby to be situation whereby if the listener is needed to just see in the reason easy to say anything Don't sleep don't so I just like to die like a first point and I said, you know, I'm really just a quickest trip I'm just gonna talk to you. She doesn't feel like I'm talking at you I just want to feel like more conversational and very much interpersonal in the sense that it's there's a natural flow There's a there's a proper rhythm between or or surrounding how the how we danced along is journey together and You know that I didn't realize that For the most part the more intelligence you are which I believe you are you are self-listening to this are quite intelligent More intelligence you are the more curious would be the more exploratory you'd be the more questions you ask the more answer you answers you seek you get and That being the case I guess I came to resume myself and the fact that This show is going to be tailored and curated for smart individuals intelligent individuals Because the video the ones will be able to sit and listen and query themselves in a sense After each and every episode sort of the entrance to here. That's like the meaning while we here You know at some points for your their lives.
We've actually opened the Bible You know we've all done it. Yeah, we opened the Bible We find a very sad that we speak to our current situation our current struggle and then we hold on to it You know we're having like it's yours We have great great clouds over heads at our point in our life and they opened up the Bible and they'll find something that we find a word that does you know Hits the new on the head so to speak and to be honest it's a very beautiful practice when Scripture captures what it is that you're going through you know and then gives you hope It tells you to walk along time work within with Greece You know as you deal with that that's a challenge or problem or with that circumstance But at the same time, it's also very interesting because you know what's the analogy I could give so actually Let's see you see yourself. You see you have like a tapestry. Yeah, and you say to pull a single tread out of that tapestry Yeah, what happens is you might have met a colo of the tread Yeah, we lose the picture because the picture is on the tapestry and it's not within that single tread I believe he gets that's the thing.
That's what makes dangerous that we lose context when we Go over go through the Bible in that manner where we'll get it Isolitately which oftentimes is the case the Bible is really nice way shown you know strip of its history strip of its logic You know, it's neighboring versus its neighboring chapters. It's neighboring books. It's it's it's very much Condensed to the few lines that surround that's whole idea because and To be honest here versus what the word of God is supposed to be read in that manner like Most of the time what you're reading was supposed to stand alone It doesn't mean to stand alone and that's the what I say sad reality of how the Bible is read anyway before I carry on and feel to probably introduce myself I am your Humble host Marvin's Jerry Lee boom at the NIFA and this podcast is the daily word This isn't just like another daily devotional. It's not um, that's all the case in the honesty It's more or less a commitment seen that the world of God is actually Seen as it was intended to be seen, you know in full vibrance context I'm sure what the show is to move us past the snippet culture of what is rich times and more than them to rituality and You know in coriander leaders practice and back into the deep rigorous study of the test you get we are Going to attend or let's say we are going to attempt to reach the gap between ancient shoots and modern understanding You know using theology philosophy and you know history as foundations for every passage basically giving the nagapine I mean I mean how many of you are giving the necessary context You know on this show we don't just like we reverse we look it's it's we use a systematic approach that actually provides The necessary lenses afford The necessary context in every episode will examine the word through the chapter What is like the immediate argument of the immediate narrative flows around in the verse not as a verse alone yet the book NIFA be Genesis or ever or the auto actually what was the the the purpose?
Yeah that you ought to intend it Behind rights in about what was the audience was written for you know? What was the context in terms of the historical context surrounding the text in terms of the socio-economic The socioeconomic environment was entering the people to intend it to The audience was intended for you know all those kind of things It's a matter grouping as well where you know the Bible is grouped not just in terms of the chapter and the What do you call it? Testaments or divorces they also to my degree in terms of the meter of profits the upper stools They are best tools, you know the law and all that's kidney So all the systematic grouping as well look at it will look at the Bible through those three islands, you know How do you fit in his genre? Let's see you know the wisdom of Psalms you get and practical instructions from Paul which is one of the I think that's the You know never mind Well, that's the Bible from the context of the testaments as well the new and all and then the entire Bible How does the single movements contribute to the one ground you know redemption story of court which is the entire What I see was what I'm for you.
I remember Lord help me Never mind I don't keep you eating whenever it comes to me if it doesn't that's fine So the main thing they really have to expect more than just you reading you have to expect like in master class We're going to like diving to the circle context I said those two rules that's you know were around Near East political tension of like the Roman Empire and all that into actually closet in the history that surrounded the people at time When it was written we know that whole lot of questions in each of suffering the definition of justice The mystery of the divine you know all the questions that we ask ourselves It was why when we are always not the industry After those questions again, and I must it's not like don't or structuring in mana that is designed to actually Party test feet or to question feet, but it's more like to be being it You know because even if I was in a people perch for lack of knowledge and knowledge in having not feet feet or belief is not the way to Knowledge so asking this question is been to strengthen that Knowledge in what we claim to believe and it doesn't make sense. So yeah, so like it doesn't really matter if your People even it doesn't there's no like requisites level of feet to be a listener you get or to join me on this journey of turn us on this journey rather you don't have to be It's open to everybody basically you can be a skeptic looking for like an actual honesty You know you can be if you're a junior you can be anyone this is there's a seat for everyone at the table at this By the time it's open to everyone really doesn't be able to critique You can listen in constructive liquidity because of me point that the area is That it is time for also stop reading fragments and that's seem to cool picture so Travel is all of us.
