Thank you so much for collaborating on these podcasts. You both have brought life to the Old Testament that I never knew existed. Before this year, I avoided the Old Testament at all costs. It was too long, the language too hard to follow, too much symbolism to understand, etc. I knew the surface-level stuff. But now I teach Gospel Doctrine and your comments, notes and description have inspired me and brought this book to life. Thank you both!
