I don't wanna rush this podcast episode, but also, this is a pretty short chapter.
I know that sounds a little wacky, wackadoodle, but it's actually something that's so important.

Not sure what's happening after we're done with James, but I really, really do, um, want to, you know, ride through some of these ch- books together with you guys.
I think, um, you know, it's fun to, like, talk and catch up and talk about other little things, and I, I promise to still do that.
I know that that kinda helps keep it real, um, which I promise I'll always be super real with y'all, but I do wanna focus on, like, actually reading the Bible, you know?

What do I have to get out? What do I have to share? Like, what is God putting on my heart in, in, to interpret this verse? And you know what? Sometimes all we have to do in order to spread the gospel, spread the word, is to just read it.
Read it, because everybody interprets it differently, and it's not really my job.
Like, I feel like for months and months and months, I felt like it was my job to help interpret the Bible, and that isn't my job.
