PRCUALife, protecting life through all its stages. Welcome to If Not For God, stories of hopelessness that turn to hope. Here is your host, Mike Zwick. Well, how fun.

I get to open If Not For God again with Mike Zwick as we're here today, Michael. And you're feeling the pressure for a sense of urgency, right? Yeah, I did. I woke up, I think I was in bed, it was Friday night, and I just felt a sense of urgency come over me. I started to think about it, I said, wow. And then we got up Sunday morning, we thought Ann was going to be taking her nap, so we'd have to either go to a later service or watch it online.

They're anxious to learn about God. And it's interesting in Hebrew that the idea of scholar is, again, somebody who is studying the Torah. And what I have found in my own life is that my enthusiasm for the Bible is contagious, right?

And I know you have that as well. Usually we don't have to talk long, and you've got two or three verses that are popping out of your head because you love the Bible. And so when you talk about something, oh man, you know what I learned today? With whoever you tell it to, that you're whetting their appetite for the Scripture. Like I can just tell you, this morning I was studying the Song of Solomon, and specifically...
