1
00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.960
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:12.880
the Theology Central podcast, making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone.

3
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.640
It is Saturday, December the twenty first, twenty twenty four.

4
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.079
It is currently four fifty six pm Central Time, and

5
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.039
I am coming to you live from the Theology Central

6
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:32.079
Studio located right here in Abilene, Texas. In the beginning,

7
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:40.759
God created the heavens and the earth. In the beginning,

8
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:49.640
God created the heavens and the earth. Now those are

9
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:53.560
the opening words to the Book of Genesis. They are

10
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:59.079
also the opening words to the Theology Central Study Bible.

11
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.159
Maybe what is the Theology Central Study Bible. Well, we're

12
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.319
going to try to figure out together because I don't

13
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.719
know for sure if I understand everything that it does.

14
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.719
But I do know this as of right now, that

15
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:16.599
the Theology Central Study Bible is available to you, it

16
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.560
is available to me, and it is available for a

17
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.799
very short time because we're doing kind of a trial

18
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.959
run here. We're going to see how well this works.

19
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.920
If people think it's a good idea, bad idea. It

20
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.760
may be a great idea, it may not be worth

21
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.400
the money that will be required to have our own

22
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.599
Theology Central Study Bible. But I think it's a very

23
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.239
interesting concept. And anyone who has ever listened to this

24
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.840
podcast knows I'm always look if a new thing becomes available,

25
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.200
if we can utilize it, I will, right. I mean,

26
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.439
at one point we used to offer digital curriculum to everyone,

27
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.079
right when we did our Bible study exercises. I thought

28
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.280
it was a great idea. I think it was very

29
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.439
easy for people to be able to gain access to

30
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.920
it utilize it. It'll also costs a lot of money, right,

31
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:07.799
so sometimes money gives you what you can or can't do.

32
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.719
But if I can't afford it and I can make

33
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.159
it work, then well we use every tool that is

34
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.840
available to us. That is why we are, you know

35
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.400
we the podcast is available on every podcasting platform on

36
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.520
Earth and any the second I find a new one,

37
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:26.520
we do everything in our power to make it available.

38
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.280
So we always use all the technology available to us.

39
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.000
Every church should do that, right, Every Christian podcast should

40
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.039
do that. Every ministry should do that right. If you're

41
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.599
taking the time to preach, to teach, to discuss theology,

42
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.719
whatever you're attempting to do, minish, whether you see yourself

43
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.000
as a minister, whether you see yourself just as a

44
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.840
podcaster talking about theology, you just want to use everything

45
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.120
available to you, right, because if you're taking the time

46
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.360
to put together a sermon, a lesson, a message, a discussion,

47
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:03.080
and you spend that time you know, uploading it, recording

48
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.840
it and all of that, then you wanted to make

49
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.560
it available to as many people as possible. So what

50
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:11.599
has happened is we have this a new opportunity to

51
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.719
make available to well, depending on how much money we

52
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.639
want to spend, right, we have the ability for one

53
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:25.400
hundred dollars to make available to ninety nine people the

54
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.840
Theology Central Study Bible. Now, if we want to make

55
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.759
it available to more people than it goes up to,

56
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.159
I think two hundred and fifty dollars, and then well,

57
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:34.360
you know, I would have to look at the way

58
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.879
the prising works. But as of right now, ninety nine

59
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.599
people can access the Theology Central Study Bible. And I

60
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.680
will tell you how in a minute, tell you how

61
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.479
this all came about. And the reason I know what

62
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.639
you're saying, Well, if it's your study Bible, you should

63
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.439
have a better idea of what's going on. I really

64
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.520
don't right now, because this all kind of happened just

65
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.000
within the last what four hours, five hours, six hours,

66
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.719
I've sent out anyone using the church one app received

67
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.879
a message about it. But I wanted to at least

68
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.080
record this because there's a lot of people who don't

69
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.960
use the church one platform. They're not using the Sermon's

70
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.360
two point oh app platform. They're listening to us on

71
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.519
one hundred other different platforms. So I want to let

72
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.000
at least everyone know that this is available to you

73
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.000
right now. And I would really ask you. I know

74
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.000
it's the holiday weekend, and I know the holidays are

75
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.800
coming up, and I know you're busy. Some of you

76
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.240
this will be great, right because you may not have

77
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.319
family and you're going to be spending a lot of

78
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.680
time in an empty house or in an empty room

79
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.480
by yourself. Well, then this is something you can, you know,

80
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:41.160
you can look into and you can you can try out,

81
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.279
and you can give me good feedback to you know what.

82
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.240
You liked it. Well, I don't really think it's worth it.

83
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:49.240
I wouldn't use it that much. You can just be

84
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.839
blunt and honest, all right. So here's the situation. If

85
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.639
you go to sermon audio dot com right now, Sermon

86
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.079
audio dot com, let me see if I can get here.

87
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.639
If you go to sermon Audio and you click on

88
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:07.519
the newstab sermonaudio dot Com. Click on the newstab, you

89
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:13.480
will see the following headline Bible Arc. That's b I,

90
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:19.199
B L E A r C. Bible Arc Study Bible

91
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:25.560
integrates with sermon Audio. So Bible Arc didn't even know

92
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.079
this thing existed. Whatever the Bible Arc Study Bible is again,

93
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.720
I had I've never even heard of it. It now

94
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.439
integrates with sermon audio. So I looked at that and like, oh,

95
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.199
that looks interesting. Okay. I wonder how this works. I

96
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.199
wonder what it can or cannot do. Okay, I'm interested.

97
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.160
So if you go there and you and you find

98
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.439
this article and you scroll down, there is a video

99
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:49.839
that you can watch, and I would challenge you to

100
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.160
go watch the video again. Go to sermon audio dot com,

101
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:57.720
click on the newstab. The very first story this was

102
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.879
published December the twentieth, twenty twenty. For the headline reads

103
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:08.279
Bible Arc Study Bible integrates with sermon Audio. Now again,

104
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.879
I could play the audio of the video for you,

105
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:12.839
but it would have done. You need to see it,

106
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:19.000
all right, So go watch the video. Here is the story. Attention, everyone.

107
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.759
All right, that's you, that's me everyone, We need to

108
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.360
pay attention. Sermon Audio is excited to announce our newest

109
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:32.000
Bible software integration with Bible Arc and online tool designed

110
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:38.079
to help users study the Bible deeply and systematically. Oh wow, No,

111
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:42.399
that that is speaking my language. That is speaking my language.

112
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:43.879
I mean, if there's one thing we try to do

113
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.279
on this podcast, is I constantly yell and scream about

114
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:52.839
people about pastors literally leading people into deep Bible study

115
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.600
and doing it systematically. Okay, great, great, So that's that's

116
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:03.199
speaking my language. Next paragraph, arking, that's how they have

117
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:08.439
it written. Here is an interesting, new and creative method

118
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:15.199
of analyzing the logical flow of thought in Biblical text

119
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:22.160
by visually breaking down and organizing propositions or clauses. You

120
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.759
can learn more about this method of Bible study by

121
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.600
clicking here. So there's this new method, new and creative

122
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.879
method of analyzing the logical flow and thought and Biblical text,

123
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:37.560
and it is called arking. Right, arking. I want to

124
00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:40.600
see this work. I want to see how we we

125
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.040
we analyze the logical flow of thought in Biblical text.

126
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.879
And you visually break down and organize the propositions or clauses.

127
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.480
I mean that sounds. That sounds fascinating to me, right,

128
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.519
so I need to look more into it. There are

129
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.199
videos when you click right there. Again, you have to

130
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.319
go to sermonaudio dot com. You have to go to

131
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.399
the newstap. You need to look into all of this

132
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.319
because no matter what we do with the theology central

133
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.319
Study Bible, right, it doesn't matter what we do, you

134
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.199
still may be able to utilize the what does it

135
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.000
referred to as the Bible arc study Bible and take

136
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.240
advantage of this new creative method to help you analyze

137
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.079
the logical flow of a text. I mean that sounds

138
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:30.480
I mean you're speaking my language here now the next paragraph.

139
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:37.159
It's a win for any broadcaster on Sermonadio as it

140
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.879
will now give them, that is me, a broadcaster, a

141
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.200
powerful tool in which to equip their own church family

142
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:47.960
in serious Bible study. Now, of course, sermon Audio always

143
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.759
uses the terminology church, church, church church. I understand they're

144
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.159
really kind of there to serve the church, but they

145
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.240
also have kind of opened things up to be kind

146
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.279
of a podcast hosting site as well. Now, so I'm

147
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.279
a podcaster, so I'm going to read this again in

148
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.360
podcast language. It is a win win for any podcast

149
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.879
or on sermonaudio is it will give them a powerful

150
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:20.919
tool in which to equip their own podcast listeners and

151
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.399
serious Bible study. Now, if you've been listening for any

152
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.279
length of time to the Theology Central podcast, you know

153
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.120
I've done everything in my power to try to get

154
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.759
people engaged in serious Bible study. That's why we did

155
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.639
the Bible study exercises. That's why we were offering digital curriculum.

156
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.919
That's why depending again, that's always comes down to the

157
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:45.440
availability of money. That's why we were buying people Bible dictionaries,

158
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.679
we were buying people Bible handbooks. We were doing our

159
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:53.039
very best to try to equip people in that very thing. Right,

160
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.279
So this is right up. You know something I would

161
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:04.000
want everyone to have access to. Here here's what happens. Okay, only,

162
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:08.000
so if you have this Bible Art Study Bible, which

163
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.279
when you follow the link I'm going to give you,

164
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:14.879
it becomes the Theology Central Study Bible. Here's what happens.

165
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:21.720
Only the sermons, only, the podcast episodes, only the philological

166
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:28.559
discussions associated with this podcast, Theology Central, are integrated with

167
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.440
their particular Bible study tool. So in other words, if

168
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.320
you have the Theology Central Study Bible, then what you're

169
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:38.120
going to have is you're going to have a Bible

170
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.639
and anywhere. Now this is this is fascinating. You're looking

171
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:48.960
at the text. Any podcast episode that addresses that particular text,

172
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.879
it will be listed right there with the text. Let's

173
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.440
say you're in Genesis right there, next to Genesis one

174
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.000
to one, or Genesis one two or three or four,

175
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:02.080
wherever there will be that's what are you ready? There

176
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:06.440
will be the sermon right there in the Study Bible,

177
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:09.360
and you click on it and it will play. Will

178
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:14.240
there will be the podcast episode integrated into the Study Bible.

179
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.919
When a new sermon is uploaded, it will automatically appeal appeal,

180
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:27.519
it will automatically appear in the Theology Central Study Bible.

181
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.639
So let's say right now, I'm going to label this

182
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.000
as Genesis one one because we started with in the beginning,

183
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.080
God created the heavens and the earth, right, and that's

184
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.840
the first verse obviously in the Bible, in the Theology

185
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.240
Central Study Bible. So at some point it may take

186
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.000
up to twenty four to forty eight hours, this episode

187
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.120
will appear. When you look at in your in the

188
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.840
theology central study Bible, and you see Genesis one to one.

189
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.039
Guess what's going to be over there to the far

190
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:57.240
right this episode. Now, if I want to remove it,

191
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.799
I think I can just go in and change the

192
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.279
scripture reference. But I want it to be right there

193
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.799
because this will be the introduction to the entire study

194
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:10.320
Bible itself. All right, So what happened? So what they

195
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:14.240
did is if you read this news article the Stephen

196
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.960
Lee from Sermonadio, he sat down with the lead developer

197
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:19.879
of Bible Arc recently and enjoyed seeing demonstration of the

198
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:23.399
elegant integration this tool has with sermons found on Sermonadio.

199
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.600
It's much easier to understand the concept when you see

200
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.240
it in action. So you really need to go watch

201
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.960
the video. You need to go go to sermon audio

202
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.080
dot com, click on the newstab and go watch the video.

203
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:41.399
It's Bible Arc and Saintegration demo. You need to see it.

204
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.399
If you see it, it will make more sense. Some

205
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:46.000
of you are more tech savvy, so you'll you'll have

206
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.519
no problem. Others of you won't have a clue what's

207
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.279
going on, and that's perfectly okay. How much time you

208
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.240
use technology, age A lot of it has some things

209
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.240
to do with it. But how do you get to

210
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.679
the theology Central Study Bible. Here's what you need to

211
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:06.799

do that? I'm going to copy the link here and

219
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.399
go open it way over here. I'm gonna go put

220
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.240
paste it. You're going to see the Theology Central Study Bible.

221
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.120
And you guess what you're going to see In the beginning,

222
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.720
God created the heavens and the earth. Now you'll notice

223
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:05.360
when you see this over to the far left, you're

224
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.000
gonna see the number one for the first verse. If

225
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.919
you tap on that, guess what you're gonna get. You're

226
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.159
gonna get Bible versions. You're gonna get a Hebrew chart,

227
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.679
and you're gonna get the Hebrew. Is that the antilinear. Well,

228
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:22.279
it's kind of like the antilinear right, So you're gonna

229
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.799
have a Hebrew chart. You go through like there is created,

230
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:32.559
there is created, and click on it all right, bara

231
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.879
to shape, to create, Strong's definition, definition to create, and

232
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.879
it will give you the definition everything right there now

233
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.440
so there and then after in the there's a little dot.

234
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.000
You click on the little dot. Oh, and it's cross references.

235
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.679
There's cross references Joe thirty eight all the cross references.

236
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.919
So you have a cross referencing tool. Also, look over

237
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:04.399
podcast from Theology Central Origins of Water on Earth. There

238
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.440
it is and it's right there, and it says view

239
00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:12.960
four more all from Genesis one to one, and you

240
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.919
can do and when it says install the app, it's

241
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.320
not an actual app found in the Apple App Store

242
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.720
the Google Play Store, it will. What you'll do is

243
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.519
you'll you'll hit the little arrow, the thing that points up,

244
00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.480
and you'll say add to your home screen, and you'll

245
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.080
have an app on your home screen for the Theology

246
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.200
Central Study Bible. But it's not downloaded from the app stores.

247
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:34.519
Why is that important? Because if the app stores get

248
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.559
ticked off and don't like the Christian message or something

249
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.559
you preach and they decide to delete you from the

250
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.799
app store. This circumvents that, and so there's no gatekeeper

251
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:49.639
in that particular sense. So please go check it out

252
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:55.919
The Theology Central Study Bible. Now here's the situation. We

253
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.480
have a I think like a thirteen day free trial,

254
00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:03.080
and I'm very grateful they're giving us I think thirteen days.

255
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.000
Between seven and thirteen days. Now, I need everyone to

256
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.720
use it as much as possible. Look around, see all

257
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:14.080
that's available. You need you. I need to spend time

258
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.840
with it. Do you like it? Do you not like it?

259
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:18.879
You may hate You may hate it, you may not

260
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.759
even you may think it's a waste of time. And

261
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:23.519
that's perfectly okay. If you're like, well, the reality is

262
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.039
I'm not going to use it, let me know that.

263
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.679
Because here's the situation. If we want it to be

264
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:34.440
available four people, in fact, I may be able to

265
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.320
go here if I go to pay, Yes, here's how

266
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.440
it works. You ready. So if I want if I

267
00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:46.519
want this to be available up to a ninety nine people,

268
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:52.039
it will cost me one hundred dollars. If I want

269
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.039
to make this available for one hundred people to three

270
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.559
hundred and ninety nine people, it will cost me two

271
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.159
hundred and fifty dollars. If I want to make this

272
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:05.039
available for four hundred to four hundred and ninety nine people,

273
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.880
from four hundred to nine hundred ninety nine people, it

274
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:12.240
will cost me four hundred dollars. And if I want

275
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:14.920
to make it available for one thousand plus people, it

276
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:25.519
will cost me seven hundred and fifty dollars. So now

277
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.640
I don't think we would ever have seven hundred or

278
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.119
one thousand plus people who would want to use it.

279
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.400
I don't know. Now, Here's what this is what typically happens.

280
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:38.000
We saw this also. We saw this when we made

281
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.599
a digital curriculum available. A lot of people came in

282
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.519
and asked for access to the digital curriculum. All kinds

283
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.640
of people did. But I had the analytics and how

284
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:53.400
many of those people who wanted it actually were using it.

285
00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.480
And what you would find is more people signed up

286
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:01.240
for it because it was free to them. They just

287
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:04.720
signed up. They didn't not realizing that if fifty people

288
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.000
use the curriculum, it costs me this much money, if

289
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.400
one hundred people used it, it costs me. And so people

290
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.440
would sign up and they would barely use it. They

291
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.799
wouldn't come back and say, hey, remove my name. No,

292
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.799
they took that spot. So then if someone else came,

293
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.720
well then in many cases I had to pay more

294
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.359
money and it wasn't being used. Same thing will probably

295
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.240
happen here. You let everyone know what's available. People will

296
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.240
be like, yeah, great, they may look at it three times,

297
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:33.960
never use it again. Well, unless there's a way to

298
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.279
remove them. I don't know if there's even a possibility

299
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:39.079
to remove them. You see what happens, all right, But

300
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.839
for now, it's a free trial, so it doesn't matter.

301
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.359
It's a free for all. Let's get a thousand people

302
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.079
trying it right now because it's a free for all.

303
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:51.160
That that's good and we'll see. But what people see

304
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.079
sometimes people will just when they see It's the same

305
00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.000
thing with a podcast, the same thing with sermons online.

306
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:01.160
It's with anything. People just see content. They don't ever

307
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:05.480
consider the money involved to get you that content. Right, Like,

308
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.400
if you open up the sermon's two point oh app right,

309
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.440
you download the church one app, Well, guess what it's

310
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.799
costing sixty dollars a month for you to get this content.

311
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.039
Nobody thinks about it. It's just another sermon to click on.

312
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.920
They don't realize that broadcast is paid. Broadcaster is paying

313
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.960
sixty dollars a month for you to have that. And

314
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:26.119
of course, if you hear me on any of the

315
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.079
podcasting apps, it's costing me per month. I think it's

316
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:31.599
twenty dollars right now per month for you to have

317
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:35.039
access to me on the other podcasting apps. It takes money.

318
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:39.480
People does that. Don't realize that. But that's neither here

319
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.400
nor there. The thing is you want to make it

320
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.920
available to as many people as possible. So if everyone

321
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:49.839
loves this idea, well then we're gonna need it. And

322
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.400
I don't know if that's a one hundred if that's

323
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:55.240
a one time fee. It just says one hundred dollars.

324
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:56.799
It doesn't say one hundred dollars per month. If it's

325
00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:58.960
one hundred dollars per month, the ladies and gentlemen, it

326
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:07.400
wouldn't even matter. Okay, it says, so it looks like

327
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:20.160
it's per year. Hang on, okay, no, no, okay, Maybe

328
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.920
it's permanent. Maybe it's permanent, So I think it's I

329
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:25.559
think it's a permanent thing. So we would pay Let's

330
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:28.640
say we paid two fifty if we paid two fifty,

331
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.039
then we could have up to three hundred and ninety

332
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:34.359
nine people using it. So if we paid four hundred,

333
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.599
we could have almost up to one thousand people. So again,

334
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:39.920
it's it's money. It's money. It's money, money, I know.

335
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:43.319
So we will cross that bridge later on. But I

336
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.519
wanted to just let everyone know that the Theology Central

337
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:51.240
Study Bible is currently live. It is available, and you

338
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:55.559
can access it right now. Now how do you access it?

339
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:00.240
Let me go back to the information here right here

340
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.880
we go, you ready. Currently there's two thousand and forty

341
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:09.319
nine sermons right there are six active users. Right now,

342
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:13.160
there's fifty. It's the Study Bible has already been viewed

343
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:18.319
fifty eight times. It's been viewed fifty eight times since

344
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.960
we started this. There are six active people using it

345
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.279
right now as we speak. All right, nobody's bookmarked any sermons,

346
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:31.799
and nobody has left any comments. All right, us, that's

347
00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.279
what I see right now, all right, So how do

348
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:38.200
you access it? If you're tuning in Bible Arc, that's

349
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:46.440
Bible Arc, Bible Arc dot com forward slash Church forward

350
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:55.480
slash Theology Central, all right, so please check it out.

351
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:59.079
I'm going to do a refresh here. Yeah, okay, still

352
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.680
six active users. So there you have it all right, there,

353
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.079
you have it. Now. What I wanted to do is

354
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:07.079
do kind of an overview of the Book of Genesis,

355
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.759
but we will save that for a later time, because

356
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:12.680
I wanted to go ahead and get something right there

357
00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.480
for Genesis one one, like an overview of the entire

358
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:17.359
Book of Genesis. I already have all my notes and

359
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.920
everything ready to go. I have it already, I have

360
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:21.480
it all ready to go right here. The Book of

361
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.640
Genesis is the first book of the Bible and lays

362
00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.359
the foundational framework to understand God's relationship with humanity, his

363
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.680
plan of redemption, and the origin of key biblical themes.

364
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:36.480
Here's a detailed overview, summary and the major lessons from

365
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:42.240
the book. Overview of Genesis, Authorship and purpose. Traditionally it's

366
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:48.079
attributed to Moses. It provides the purpose. The purpose is

367
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:53.039
to provide the history of creation, humanity's beginning, and God's

368
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:58.000
covenant with well his people or with the beginning of Israel. Yeah,

369
00:22:58.000 --> 00:23:00.119
a lot of different ways I could phrase it. I

370
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:02.200
wanted to break it all down. I wanted to break

371
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.200
it all down. But yeah, that would that would that

372
00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:07.799
would distract from what I'm attempting to do here. So

373
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:12.359
the Theology Central Study Bible is currently available, and then

374
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.759
will we go back to the screen. Let me go

375
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:24.160
back here, all right? And yeah, I'm just looking. So

376
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.000
if you're using it, I don't know if you can

377
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.240
how you bookmark a sermon, but you can bookmark one.

378
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:31.720
I don't know exactly how that works. And I don't

379
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:33.319
know where you leave a comment. But if you leave

380
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.240
a comment, you could just put test, right, just put test.

381
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.160
And I don't know if I get a notification, I

382
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:42.720
don't know what happens. And if you turn on your notifications,

383
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:45.319
it will be interesting to see. Will you get a

384
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.759
notification when a new sermon is uploaded? Now I hear it,

385
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.480
there's like a forty eight hour delay, which would be

386
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:57.119
that would be uh, from a modern technological standpoint, I

387
00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.079
don't I'm not a fan of that. I think it

388
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.519
should be pretty instantaneous. But of course, you know, and

389
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:07.039
a philological and a phil logical and a technological age,

390
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:14.319
we've come accustomed to things being instantaneous, right, But there

391
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:19.400
we go. So there you have it. Yes, we have

392
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:23.880
thirteen days left on the trial. Thirteen days left I

393
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.000
know this is the I kind of kicked myself right

394
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:31.640
because I was like, man, I probably should wait till

395
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:37.160
like January, January, the fifth, January, the sixth, January, the seventh,

396
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:42.960
I should really wait instead of trying this now. But

397
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:45.240
I was. I was here in the studio, just a

398
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.599
little over to my right. I was sitting in a chair.

399
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:50.160
I was listening to music, and I was trying to

400
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.000
focus on the music, focus on the music, and I

401
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.720
kept thinking, well, there's this new thing right there to

402
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.920
my left. All I have to do is just open

403
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.839
it up and figure out how to get this set up.

404
00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:04.920
I mean, okay, listen to music, listen. Oh, no, I

405
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.039
want to try this. Oh, listen to music. Listen to me. No,

406
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.759
I want to try And then I realized, you know what,

407
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:10.519
I'm not gonna be listening to music. I'm not. Okay,

408
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.480
let's go do this. So here we are. We've done it.

409
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:20.160
Try it out. Bible arc dot com. That's Bible Arc,

410
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:25.960
Bible Art dot com. Forward slash Church forward slash Theology Central.

411
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:28.880
I don't know how many churches already integrated. I think

412
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.279
there's a number that are already that have their own

413
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.519
Bible Art bibles already set up. Some of them. I

414
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:38.079
think obviously did this relatively quick. I'm very impressed with

415
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.680
how many did so. I'm mad that I'm, like, you know,

416
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:46.279
twenty four hours late here, but that happens. I'm gonna

417
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:48.680
blame all of you because all of you should have

418
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.839
been checking out the Sermon Audio dot Com website on

419
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.240
a daily basis, saw the news article and should immediately

420
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:58.559
send it to me. Right, Okay, I'm gonna do a

421
00:25:58.599 --> 00:26:05.240
refresh here. Yeah, it's hard to know. Yeah, I don't

422
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:09.160
really know how quickly those stats update. But that's okay.

423
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:13.359
We will do more at a later time. But there

424
00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:16.119
it is, ladies and gentlemen. The Theology Central Study Bible

425
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:20.519
is live. Utilize it. There's a lot of tools that

426
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.640
you can integrate with all of this. There's different things

427
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:28.799
available to you. Please, and don't even worry about the

428
00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.640
Theology Study Bible. Just look at the Bible Arc Study

429
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.720
Bible itself, right because even if the Theology Central One,

430
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:38.920
even if we decide not to keep it, the Bible

431
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:41.960
Arc Study Bible still may be very much worth your

432
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:46.480
time as a Bible app that is available to you.

433
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:49.319
Because it looks like it has some very good tools

434
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.720
that could be very valuable to you. All right, So

435
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.880
please explore it, look at all the videos about it,

436
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:05.920
and draw your own conclusions about whether you think it's

437
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.039
worth it or not. Like, here's the thing. You've got

438
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.119
a million things available to you. You have so many resources,

439
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.920
you have so many tools. Some of them work for you,

440
00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:17.799
some of them don't work for you. Some of them

441
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:20.920
are very valuable, but you don't. You just because you've

442
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.240
got so much, you don't really take advantage of what's

443
00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.400
available to That's why we spent all of twenty twenty

444
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:27.359
four trying to get people to use the sermon's two point.

445
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:31.480
Oh app it's right there, it's free for you. Millions

446
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:35.160
of sermons utilize that thing, right, So that's one of

447
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:38.759
the things we attempt to do well here, forget theology Central,

448
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:43.480
just the Bible. Arc study Bible. It looks like God's

449
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:47.319
and this whole idea of arcing this new kind of

450
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:53.000
method to logically see how a text flows that that

451
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.440
sounds fascinating. So maybe we need to learn how to

452
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:01.440
do that and become, you know, very knowledgeable of that

453
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:04.680
entire method and how we can better utilize that method.

454
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:06.960
Whether you're using the app, or we're not using the app.

455
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:09.400
So I'm going to definitely make it a priority to

456
00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:13.039
try to learn that method and see how I can

457
00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:16.559
find a way to make it. You know, I can

458
00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:19.599
integrate it into things we do here. So there you

459
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:23.480
have it. Hopefully that's beneficial. Hopefully that's helpful. I'm going

460
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.160
to go here, look really quick, I'm looking at a

461
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.319
couple of I've got so many things open here and

462
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:40.319
go here, all right, So make use of it and

463
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:42.880
you can let me know your thoughts. All right, Thanks

464
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:45.839
for listening, everyone, Have a great day, have a great

465
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:51.079
rest of your holiday weekend. And listen, listen, listen, listen.

466
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:55.200
I've been saying this in every podcast. Look you get

467
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:58.079
the Christmas holiday, right, I mean, it's right around the corner,

468
00:28:58.279 --> 00:28:59.920
it's right around the and it's going to be over.

469
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:02.000
It's going to be gone. It's going to be here,

470
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.160
it's going to be gone. If you have a good

471
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:12.240
situation in your life, family, friends, I mean, you drink

472
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.720
in all that you have, every bit of it. Don't

473
00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:19.799
waste one second of it, all right, because there's plenty

474
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.079
of people who don't have anything. For those who may

475
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:29.680
not have much or alone or depressed, discouraged, trauma, whatever

476
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:34.119
the case may be. Let grab on to whatever you

477
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.519
do have, and don't worry about what everyone else has.

478
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.680
Don't compare your situation. If you compare yourself a situation

479
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:47.599
to anybody else, you become bitter. It's miserable. You can't

480
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:51.400
worry about it. Do something for you, all right, and

481
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.559
find a way to distract you from everything else. All right,

482
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.519
Thanks for listening. Everyone, Have a great holiday weekend, a

483
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:06.359
great Christmas, Christmas Eve great, just a great week right,

484
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:10.480
God bless m
