Drafting All 66 Bible Books

[00:00:09] Speaker A: Welcome to think deeper podcast presented by Focus Press. Jack Wilke here with you with Will Harab and Joe Wilkie. We've got a fun one. We've had a lot of heavy hitting topics lately and we're taking a break from that to have a little bit of fun on a special occasion weekend. I guess they gave us the occasion for the episode. We'll get to that in a minute. Just wanted to tell you about something we released toward the end of last year and it kind of got lost in the shuffle. It's a book called Transformed Faith written by myself and doctor Brad Harab. That's not good grammar. Written by myself, written by me and Doctor Brad Harab. And it's available on Amazon. It's available on Focus Press. It's 13 chapters of our writings of essays we've done on some of the hardest hitting topics in the world today for christians, christians in politics and lgbt issues and children and technology and all kinds of things, pornography addiction, all kinds of issues. Like I said, 13 of the most pressing ones for christians. And so, yeah, check that out on Amazon or on focus press. And we've gotten some really great reviews. We're thankful for those that have picked some up and churches that are using it. So be sure to check that out. Now that we've gotten our promo out of the way. We have this weekend or we just had, this is coming out on a Monday, the NFL draft. Now, you don't have to be a football fan to enjoy this episode, but that, that was the occasion for doing this is we are drafting the 66 books of the Bible and seeing who can come up with the best lineup, so to speak, of 22 books, which works out because a football team, it's eleven defenders, eleven guys on offense on the field. And so 22, we'll end up with 22 books apiece. We are doing it in order of a snake draft, which means we go one, two, three and then we reverse it where the guy who picked third gets fourth and so on. You know, so we, we even it up and one guy's not picking last every single round. And so, yeah, what we're going to do is there's 66 of them. We do have to work through them pretty quickly. That gives us about a minute of banter for each one. We're going to make fun of each other's picks or any of that stuff. I want to put out the disclaimer. We're not saying books of the Bible are not valuable or relevant, but let's be honest here. Nobody here spends as much time in song of Solomon as they do in, say, Romans or the Psalms or something like that. Right? I mean, watch yourself. [00:02:26] Speaker B: I was gonna say maybe Joe. [00:02:28] Speaker C: Maybe Joe does. [00:02:29] Speaker A: You know, most Bible reading programs die at Leviticus, which means most people don't spend a lot of time in Leviticus. And so, yeah, we're. [00:02:38] Speaker B: This is just a fun exercise. [00:02:39] Speaker A: Don't think too hard. That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Don't overthink it. Don't think we're putting down parts of the Bible when we rank one above another because everyone has their favorite Bible books. So, um, man, I don't know about you guys. Getting through 66 of them to figure out how to rank them all was very, very difficult. That's a lot of books to sort out that way, but it is what it is. [00:03:00] Speaker C: Um, any ranked them on my own. Like, I went down, I was doing this last night and kind of prepped my draft board here, and I get to, like, 42, and I'm like, I like that book more than that. I feel like this should be like, 31, and it's like. But I can't just switch 31 to 42, so I'd have to go and, like, delete all year above. Yeah, this is, this is, man, this is rough. So next time, we're going to have to draft bible characters and complete our roster. [00:03:26] Speaker A: There you go. [00:03:27] Speaker B: That's a good idea. [00:03:29] Speaker C: Offensive lineman, number one overall. [00:03:31] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:03:32] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a good one. [00:03:34] Speaker C: So that's what I'm thinking. We got to do something fun. But no, we're excited about this one. Just because, again, it's very lighthearted. We plan to have a good time. We hope you have a good time with us. I don't even know what the defense gonna look like for this. Give us your. Give us your thoughts on, I would. [00:03:47] Speaker B: Say definitely at the conclusion of this episode or if you're commenting, whatever, let us know who you think has the best team. Know what pick was a reach. When Joe takes, I don't know, second chronicles in the 7th round, tell him that was a reach or whatever it was. But, um, let's establish some ground rules, and then, Jack, I will hand it back to you. We are allowing trades. Trades are possible either before a pick is taken or after a pick is taken. [00:04:12] Speaker A: Really, really want to book. [00:04:13] Speaker B: You have to make sure everything equals out to 22 teams or 22 books apiece for each person. So that's a ground rule. Um, I don't. I guess there's not really any others I guess that's kind of the main one that I wanted to cover. [00:04:26] Speaker C: You are going to do the snakes? [00:04:27] Speaker A: Yes. [00:04:28] Speaker C: Snake shot. So explain that real fast. [00:04:29] Speaker A: I just. I did. [00:04:30] Speaker C: Oh, did you? [00:04:31] Speaker A: Wasn't paying attention. [00:04:32] Speaker C: I wasn't paying attention. [00:04:32] Speaker A: Yeah, I wasn't paying attention. Already out of it. There you go. [00:04:35] Speaker C: I think we're going to do pretty well. [00:04:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:37] Speaker C: Luckily I have a sweet draft board. I don't even have to pay attention this episode. [00:04:40] Speaker A: So that's it. [00:04:41] Speaker C: I've done all my work. [00:04:42] Speaker A: Auto draft. Like ESPN. [00:04:43] Speaker C: Yeah, that's right. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Okay, the other thing we've mentioned before, these are now in video on YouTube. If you want to keep up, video will be helpful because we are putting the board, the draft board and in the pics made on there. We're going to start, though, by screen sharing to figure out who actually gets first pick. So let's go to that and randomize first. [00:05:05] Speaker C: Already. [00:05:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it's alphabetical, man. Wait, no, randomize them. It didn't. Let's try that again. [00:05:11] Speaker C: This is rigged already. [00:05:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:13] Speaker B: Wow. [00:05:13] Speaker A: I don't know about randomize. That's not doing it at all. [00:05:18] Speaker B: Do you highlight them? [00:05:20] Speaker A: Okay, let's try this again and see if it works. You know, we're going to do it in reverse order. Okay, now, now it randomized this time, so it's Joe Jack. [00:05:29] Speaker C: Probably randomized with your time too. [00:05:30] Speaker B: But last pick. [00:05:32] Speaker A: Well, but you get that. That turn pick in the snake draft. Yeah. That's an advantage sometimes. [00:05:37] Speaker C: All right, baby. [00:05:38] Speaker A: All right. Now if I can get this screen shared to our draft board. [00:05:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:45] Speaker C: Because one in six kind of stinks. [00:05:47] Speaker A: So it was. Okay. I know that I'm screen sharing. Don't tell me that. Thank you. It was Joe. [00:05:54] Speaker B: Joe Jack. Will. [00:05:55] Speaker A: Will. All right, so, Joe, you're on the clock with pick number one of the entire draft. [00:06:00] Speaker C: I'm going with Romans. [00:06:01] Speaker B: Don't. Yeah, yeah. Great pick. [00:06:04] Speaker C: Going with Romans. [00:06:05] Speaker A: Okay, what makes that number one? [00:06:08] Speaker C: I mean, it's, it's the. What were we saying? The magnum opus of, of Paul. Um, it has a little bit of everything goes back into the Old Testament, goes in the New Testament, tells us about salvation, tells us about. I mean, it explains the entire Old Testament. Like the purpose of it. It explains our sin, our life as a Christian, the doctrinal, the practical, and, you know, twelve through 16. Like, it is the complete picture in my opinion. And I think it's the most theologically rich book in the Bible. So, yeah, I'm going with Romans. [00:06:40] Speaker A: All right, so now this is going to. Some of this is going to sound familiar to long time deep thinkers. We did do something akin to this at some point, but I think it was like top three or top five books. And so Romans had come up. If somebody does not have Romans in your top three, top five, let me know why. I would be very interested, I think. Yeah, that was a pretty consensus first round pick. So let's put Joe down for Romans here in box one with pick number two. I'm going with the psalms 150. [00:07:09] Speaker C: That is interesting. [00:07:10] Speaker A: That is book of the Bible. [00:07:11] Speaker B: I thought for sure you were going to take a different one that I. [00:07:15] Speaker A: Rich quoted so much, so much christological stuff, you know, pointing toward Jesus. You got psalm 23, you've got psalm 51, you've got longest book of the Bible, one. You got psalm 100. Yeah, 119. I mean, there's just, it's the psalms. So, uh, that's pick number two. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Okay. Well, I definitely thought Genesis would get, was getting taken off the board. So, um, since it doesn't really matter, since I have back to back picks, go ahead and put me down for Genesis. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Right. [00:07:43] Speaker B: Um, and then I'm gonna go ephesians. [00:07:47] Speaker C: Okay. [00:07:48] Speaker B: For my, uh, second. [00:07:51] Speaker A: All right, well, that was five and six on my board. That's not bad. Um, all right, so Ephesians, I think, is kind of like mini Romans. So I get that one. [00:08:00] Speaker B: Yeah. As far as Paul's epistles, that's probably my favorite epistle, other than Romans, like. Well, as far as the smaller ones, I love ephesians. I think it's fantastic. [00:08:08] Speaker A: Did you both have genesis above the psalms? [00:08:11] Speaker B: Yes, I did. Well, I thought you were going to take Genesis and then I was going to go psalms and Genesis was my number two pick. [00:08:17] Speaker A: Okay, wow. So I'm the one who reached this time. But I mean, it's the psalms, so that's not really. [00:08:21] Speaker C: Psalms was seven for me. [00:08:22] Speaker B: You're high on the song seven, right? [00:08:23] Speaker A: My goodness. [00:08:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I know. [00:08:28] Speaker B: So I bet you, I bet you could have gotten that at this pick, Jack. [00:08:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I honestly, potentially, maybe I will. This doesn't change my board that much. So I'm going to go with John. [00:08:38] Speaker C: I'm going to have to reach on my board because the next one I don't think I'm going to go with, I'm going to reach down to what was actually my number six pick, which is Exodus. [00:08:46] Speaker A: Exodus. Whoa. That. Now that's our first real, like, draft climber getting exodus, having studied it recently. [00:08:54] Speaker C: Check out focus. Plus, Jack and I got our class going up under study. Having studied that recently, I've been preaching out of it a lot. We were doing as an exodus for a long time on our 365. Also focus. Plus I've fallen in love with Exodus. And I would say it is one of the best books to understand the holiness of God, to really understand like the, the nature of God in the entire Bible. It is fantastic from that point of view. It establishes Israel, establishes that it's the giving of the law. It's the tabernacle which points to Christ. It's so many things like it is, other than Genesis, I'd say quintessential old Testament. So I was, that is not on my draft board. I do have those above it that I would rather take, but so as to balance out romans, I'm going to go with Exodus, get something in the Old Testament. [00:09:40] Speaker B: So you're saying, just to be clear, you have books above ranked above exodus that are still on the board that you're not taking, you're taking Exodus instead? Is that what you're saying? [00:09:49] Speaker C: Yeah, because it's kind of like I don't want to draft two quarterbacks, you know? Yeah. The second quarter. You know what I mean? [00:09:55] Speaker B: Like the second pick right now, so. That's right. [00:09:59] Speaker C: I do think I forgot about that. Yeah. Now this is the real struggle because I actually have. I'm gonna go with John. [00:10:08] Speaker A: I already took John. You. Somebody's not paying attention. [00:10:12] Speaker C: Oh, I was, boy, I was not paying attention. I was too busy focused on mine. [00:10:15] Speaker A: You can't, you can offer a trade if you want. [00:10:18] Speaker C: Okay. [00:10:21] Speaker A: He's on the clock. Matthew, that's brutal. [00:10:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:10:28] Speaker B: Well, that's who I was about to take. You. [00:10:31] Speaker C: Okay. I was gonna say that's sermon on the mount. So if you were, if we're going a little bit lowered, net that be, that'd be tough. I'm actually going to pay attention to your pick this time, Jack. I promise. [00:10:39] Speaker A: I had Luke well above Matthew. Oddly enough, he was my next stamp, man. I've got my order. But now the way this is shaken out, it's like, do you take the one that I had next or. [00:10:48] Speaker C: That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. [00:10:50] Speaker A: That's why it's a challenge. So we're going to sum up our first nine picks here at the end of the round for anybody who's listening on audio so you don't feel too lost, man. Now I don't know, Jack. [00:11:02] Speaker B: What would it take? What would it take to get your pick here? [00:11:05] Speaker A: Oh, to for a trade. Let's see, we're in round three, so I would give you three and ten for your six and seven. [00:11:16] Speaker B: Three and ten. [00:11:17] Speaker A: Oh. [00:11:18] Speaker B: So now I would get three picks in a row if I do that, though? [00:11:22] Speaker A: Let's see. Oh, yeah, boy. Three. Three and three and ten for your five and six. [00:11:28] Speaker B: No, not doing that. [00:11:30] Speaker A: Okay. Too high. All right, man. I don't, all of a sudden, I don't want to take the next one on my board, but I'm going to Hebrews. [00:11:37] Speaker B: Oh, thank goodness. [00:11:39] Speaker A: Joe, when you said, like, picking the same one twice, was it Romans and Hebrews, is that what you had in mind? [00:11:44] Speaker C: No, actually, I did have Matthew. Next. John and Matthew. Which are the Gospels? I wanted one of the gospels, but I was hoping Luke, Matthew and John would be there. One of them. [00:11:53] Speaker A: You took John? [00:11:53] Speaker C: I wasn't paying attention. I wanted an old test, higher old Testament, one to balance out. And since Psalms and Genesis was taken, I wanted to snag that one. [00:12:03] Speaker A: Yeah. All right. [00:12:03] Speaker C: All right, well, what do you got? [00:12:06] Speaker B: Well, Jack's high on mark, so we know he's going to take more, so I almost feel like. Like I don't. Go ahead. Why don't you take John? [00:12:14] Speaker C: I don't think that's been taken. [00:12:17] Speaker B: That was pretty good. Oh, man. Yeah, actually, give me Romans. No, let's see. [00:12:23] Speaker A: It's a steal at the 9th. [00:12:25] Speaker C: There's enough. Yeah, there's enough to go around. [00:12:28] Speaker A: This is brutal. [00:12:29] Speaker B: So, Joe, is Mister old Testament here, and he's. He's gone double new Testament to the start. I was thinking, y'all, we're gonna go so heavy. Old Testament. I'd have plenty of the New Testament to choose from. Not necessarily the case so far. Yeah. And, Jack, you as well have gone double new. [00:12:45] Speaker C: Give me Luke. [00:12:46] Speaker B: I'm definitely gonna take Luke. [00:12:47] Speaker A: I was afraid you're gonna do that. Yeah. [00:12:52] Speaker B: Now what? My next kid is very tough here. [00:12:55] Speaker C: Well, yeah, we can trade after the pick has been taken, right? [00:12:58] Speaker A: You can. [00:12:58] Speaker B: Are you. Are you proposing a trade right now? [00:13:00] Speaker C: Not yet. Not yet. I want to see what you leave. [00:13:03] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. So, full disclosure, I am one of the. I did not pre rank my. My books like. Like these two guys did. I kind of wanted to react live on air. All right, I'm down to two here. Oh, this is super tough. I don't. Yeah, no, I'm gonna go with proverbs. [00:13:31] Speaker A: Oh, that was my next one up on my board. [00:13:34] Speaker B: I take proverbs. [00:13:36] Speaker A: Okay. In fact, Luke and Proverbs were the two ahead. Next so to sum up the first ten picks, Joe has Romans, Exodus, and Matthew. I have psalms. I. Jack, for those listening. And so I hear sometimes people are. Get mixed up on the voices. So, Jack, I have psalms, John, and Hebrews. And will at this point has genesis, Ephesians, Luke, and proverbs. [00:14:01] Speaker C: I feel like getting picked third was better. [00:14:04] Speaker A: I mean, that's kind of nice. It is. [00:14:07] Speaker B: Double picks in a row is nice, man. [00:14:09] Speaker A: I've got one where I could go really off the board here. I think I'll save it. Oh, man. [00:14:15] Speaker B: Oh, I know. I bet I know which one it is, too. You're thinking about taking revelation right now, aren't you? [00:14:23] Speaker C: It's probably obadiah. [00:14:25] Speaker A: It's revelation for sure. Put me down. [00:14:27] Speaker C: Are you ready? [00:14:28] Speaker B: I knew it. [00:14:30] Speaker C: That is. That is interesting. [00:14:33] Speaker A: A lot of fun to teach. [00:14:35] Speaker B: I got. I got to know. I got to know because I'm. I would not have taken that anytime soon. Joe, what round would you have taken revelation in? [00:14:41] Speaker C: I'm done. Ask this. I had it at. I had it at number 37. [00:14:46] Speaker A: Oh, wow. So that was. [00:14:47] Speaker C: Oh, Jack, I just got my head. 37. [00:14:50] Speaker A: I was. [00:14:51] Speaker C: Well, the reason why it's so good, we taught it, and I really thought about putting it higher, and then I thought about it. I'm like, okay, what is it? It offers some. That sounds horrible to say it's a book of the Bible, but, like, is it when you think. When you think about. I was thinking about doctrine. I was thinking about history. I was thinking about all sorts of things. It is such a difficult book to understand that I think we have a grasp of it on a minuscule level. Um, but it's so debatable on a lot of different things that I'm like, man, I just found it going down my draft board, so, yeah. Hey, glad that one's out of the way. Um, I'm going to take. And this is where it gets very, very difficult because the one that I think would round it out a little bit more is not necessarily the one I want to take. Um, I'm going to go with. [00:15:36] Speaker A: I'm going to go with x. I thought so. [00:15:39] Speaker B: That's interesting. I don't know if you guys remember when we did the top five bible books, Joe was pretty low on acts. [00:15:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:46] Speaker B: Because I was top five favorite, and we did top five most important, and Joe did not have that in his top five. So that is very interesting. [00:15:53] Speaker C: You got to remember, though, that. Oh, and I go again here, too. Yeah, you got to remember that as we're rounding out now I have the church history, I have Israel history and church history, and I have a gospel and I wrote. I'm pretty happy with my team. It's more of, I'm taking more of a rounded out approach. And as I'm looking at my board, I realized I had acts at nine and acts at 14, and I have 66 books on my board. So one of the books of the Bible is not on my board right now. I don't know which one it is. [00:16:20] Speaker A: Somebody can teach him this. [00:16:21] Speaker C: Apparently I don't. Yeah, that's right. [00:16:24] Speaker B: It's a major one that you're missing out on. [00:16:26] Speaker C: I know. As I'm looking like, well, now I gonna have to sing the song to myself and go, no, I don't know. Um, I'll figure it out. I'm gonna go with first corinthians first. [00:16:36] Speaker B: Ah, you troll. [00:16:38] Speaker A: I had that next two. [00:16:40] Speaker B: That's a great one. [00:16:41] Speaker A: That's off the board. That's off the board. Oh, man. The, the one I want to take next is I, I think it's another one that would be categorized as a big time reach. So I'm not sure that I want to. [00:16:54] Speaker C: Oh, I know which one's off. Oh, okay. [00:16:58] Speaker A: Let's see. [00:17:00] Speaker B: When you, if, when it comes up, Joe, you gotta let us know which one it was. [00:17:03] Speaker A: I'm trying to mind read. So I don't do what I just did with revelation and jump, jump. Ten rounds ahead of you guys. [00:17:08] Speaker B: We have had a single trade yet also, don't forget. [00:17:10] Speaker A: Right. But yeah, now that the big ones are going out of the way, a trade seems more likely because, man, I didn't want to give up like a top five pick. Okay. I just got to have the guts to go with my board. Ecclesiastes. Wow. [00:17:24] Speaker C: Yeah, I had that up there too. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Okay. [00:17:28] Speaker B: Okay. I was curious which old Testament book would jump off the board next. [00:17:35] Speaker A: Yeah, there's some good candidates, but that. [00:17:38] Speaker B: I'm feeling very solid on Old Testament right now. So I'm thinking about going double new Testament here. [00:17:47] Speaker C: Don't do it. Don't do it. [00:17:51] Speaker B: Out of the, out of the New Testament ones that are left, man. It would be funny if one of us took Mark, leaving Jack with zero gospels. [00:17:57] Speaker C: No, Jack got John. [00:17:58] Speaker B: Nevermind. [00:17:58] Speaker A: Nobody here. What is happening? [00:18:03] Speaker B: That's great. [00:18:06] Speaker C: Seriously, I don't know when this happened. Jack must have said nothing about it because I was zoned out, man. [00:18:10] Speaker A: I'm gonna be honest, two rounds ago, I was sitting here going, I should probably take Mark because I don't have a gospel. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:18:18] Speaker C: Sorry, John. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Poor John, man. [00:18:19] Speaker B: You know what? [00:18:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:20] Speaker B: The other thing about this, our listeners, our faithful listeners are used to us getting into very deep topics and get passionate. Like this is kind of a self indulgent episode, I'm not gonna lie. [00:18:30] Speaker C: But it is. It is. [00:18:31] Speaker B: I'm definitely going first Timothy. That's that. Gotta go. First Timothy. [00:18:34] Speaker A: Okay. [00:18:35] Speaker B: That's your eldership qualifications. Just. [00:18:38] Speaker A: I know you don't have a board, but if you did, it would look a lot like mine because you keep picking my. See if I can predict your next one. [00:18:45] Speaker B: Right. Oh, I've got a new or an old testament book that I really want, but. All right. I have decided I think I'm actually going to go with first John. [00:18:58] Speaker A: First John. [00:19:00] Speaker C: Really? [00:19:01] Speaker B: I think it'd be a travesty to not have a book written by John anywhere in my lineup. So that's what I'm going with. [00:19:09] Speaker C: I think I. Yeah, Jack could have had the collection. [00:19:13] Speaker A: Yeah, John revelation. [00:19:14] Speaker C: Have to make a trade for it. [00:19:16] Speaker A: That's right. I was going down the list. Okay. There's the crowd pleaser and there's the book that I personally enjoy more, which again, going back, it's not the Bible. Books are better than another, but it's just personal preference. Mmm. Man, I. Yeah, there's no. [00:19:38] Speaker B: Cuz you can't share like what you. It's tough because you can't share what it's like down to. For your two pics. Cuz then is you're gonna reveal your other pick. [00:19:45] Speaker A: Yeah, there's no way Joe leaves this one for me two picks later. And so I like, I kind of want to take. [00:19:52] Speaker B: Yeah, take it then. You gotta take. [00:19:53] Speaker A: But I don't know that I want it that bad. It's James. [00:20:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Gotta be up on your board. So if you want to trade for it, Joe. Or I can just take it. [00:20:07] Speaker C: What would you trade? What? What are you proposing? [00:20:10] Speaker A: Let's see. This is number six. So if you gave me nine and ten, I'd give you six and 13. [00:20:17] Speaker B: So Joe would get three. Joe would get three picks in a row. [00:20:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:23] Speaker B: Or you, Joe. [00:20:24] Speaker C: Just. [00:20:25] Speaker B: Just because I'm commentating here, Jack's already made it clear he doesn't value it super highly. So. [00:20:33] Speaker C: I'm. I'll take that. [00:20:38] Speaker A: We might have a trade. So you're going to take. Oh, got it right now. And then I'll get your nine and ten and you'll get my 13. [00:20:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:48] Speaker A: Okay. So. [00:20:49] Speaker C: So remember that. Remember that. Yeah. [00:20:52] Speaker A: So what you got? [00:20:54] Speaker C: Okay, uh, I'm going to take James. [00:20:57] Speaker A: All right. And then your other two. Three picks in a row here. [00:21:01] Speaker C: I'm gonna take Philippians. [00:21:06] Speaker B: Yep. [00:21:08] Speaker C: And this is where it gets difficult, because the next one I board, I'm gonna take first Peter. [00:21:15] Speaker A: That's what I had us sitting on. Okay, so first Peter, James, and so I am going to take. [00:21:23] Speaker C: Should have taken. First John. [00:21:27] Speaker A: I'm gonna take. Oh, man, that's hard. We've left Mark this whole time, but I don't. I already have a gospel. I. It's kind of like we all loaded up on the gospel we wanted, and now we don't need one, so I'm gonna go mark. Galatians. [00:21:47] Speaker B: Oh, I was afraid you were gonna take my mine. [00:21:52] Speaker A: All right, what you got, man? [00:21:54] Speaker B: We are leaving the Old Testament books out to dry right now. [00:21:57] Speaker C: I know there's. Those are. I got three next up on my, on my board. We'll see what you take. [00:22:02] Speaker B: Well, that's really good to know, Joe. I appreciate that. I'm going to go, man. This would be three new testaments in a row here. Let's go, let's go. Colossians. That's a great one. Hard to pass that one up, Jack. You already took Galatians, right, Joe, curiously, which one of those two would you taken, Galatians or Colossians first if you had the choice? [00:22:32] Speaker C: I had Colossians up on my list. Colossians, was it 22 for me, Galatians was at 25. [00:22:37] Speaker A: Interesting. [00:22:38] Speaker C: Yeah, Galatians is beer, but it's a little more niche. Um, niche it is. Uh, specifically, gospel spirit does have a lot, but it's obviously mainly about the Judaizers, whereas Colossians is more just assurance of the faith. So I don't know, it seems more accessible, I guess. But, yeah, Galatians, a fantastic book, but. [00:23:00] Speaker A: I. Yeah, what do you got? [00:23:01] Speaker B: Well, all right, so for my next pick, I am going to take. Man, I kind of can't believe, uh, Mark is still up on the board, but I'm with Jack. I don't really know that I need Mark at this point. Give me, give me, give me Mark. [00:23:26] Speaker A: All right, mister two gospel. [00:23:29] Speaker C: Mark is like the equivalent of Bo Nicks. Like, it's good, but he'll probably drop the second round, you know what I mean? Like, if you're not a football fan. [00:23:37] Speaker B: You will not get that reference, but. [00:23:38] Speaker A: All right, so you want. I'm going to take an old Testament book, and I've got two more coming up because of Joe's trades to me. So that's good. Not right away, but let's see. I'm going to take an old Testament book, man. There's some good ones out there. I'm going to go with Samuel. I want to go with David's story. [00:23:58] Speaker B: Nice. [00:23:59] Speaker C: That's solid. That's solid. [00:24:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Samuel, you got David and Goliath. Or, I mean, you got Saul's rise and fall. You got David and Goliath. You got some good stuff. So. All right, Joe, your pick. [00:24:12] Speaker C: I've got five, six old Testament straight on my board, but I don't know that I want to take. This is really tough, um, for the sheer length of the trade, Joe. Okay. [00:24:30] Speaker A: Okay. What do you got? [00:24:31] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:24:32] Speaker B: As I'm, as I'm sitting here looking at my team, my lineup here, Colossians and Ephesians are very, very similar. I am open to trading colossians. So I will throw that out there and let you. [00:24:42] Speaker C: I appreciate that. [00:24:43] Speaker B: What you will. [00:24:45] Speaker C: Unless you had a tantalizing, unless you're, like trading Genesis. I got around out my genesis. I got a round out my old testament as well. I currently am sitting on one old. [00:24:54] Speaker A: Testament book with Exodus. [00:24:56] Speaker C: So I have to get. So would you trade? [00:25:01] Speaker B: No, I'll tell you, go ahead. I'll, I'll propose mine on my team on my turn. Go right ahead. [00:25:05] Speaker C: Okay. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Okay. [00:25:06] Speaker C: I'm going to go with. Just because I like it so much, I'm going to go with Daniel. [00:25:11] Speaker A: Oh, that was my next pick. [00:25:12] Speaker B: Great one. [00:25:13] Speaker A: Great pick. Okay. Joe just won vbs, which is iron. Can't stand vbs. [00:25:22] Speaker C: We're going to do this. We're going to do the second half of Daniel for bbs. [00:25:26] Speaker A: Okay. So, uh, I am going to go Isaiah. [00:25:30] Speaker C: Ah, that was good. [00:25:31] Speaker A: Yep. [00:25:32] Speaker C: That was the one I was debating back and forth. [00:25:34] Speaker A: And there's, hmm. I'm incredibly light on a row. That's right. [00:25:40] Speaker C: Um, he's got basically four out of six picks. I should have thought through this. That's dumb. [00:25:45] Speaker A: Oh, second corinthians hasn't been taken. Second Corinthians. [00:25:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:25:49] Speaker A: Okay. For sure. [00:25:52] Speaker C: Will, are you proposing a trade? [00:25:56] Speaker B: I was going to. I'm open to trading something that you've already picked. [00:26:00] Speaker A: Sure. [00:26:00] Speaker B: Is the research. [00:26:01] Speaker A: Let's see. [00:26:01] Speaker B: So let's see, what would it take? Would you do Colossians for first, Peter? [00:26:14] Speaker C: Wow, that's a great. [00:26:15] Speaker A: While. He thinks about. [00:26:16] Speaker B: That's pretty good value. [00:26:18] Speaker A: I'm going to speak to the deep thinkers here and I'm going to catch us up on, in fact, let me just catch us up on the picks to this point and think who's ahead? While Joe considers Colossians for one Peter, Joe has Romans, Exodus, Matthew, acts, first Corinthians, Philippians, first Peter and Daniel. Oh, and James. I have psalms, John, Hebrews, revelation, ecclesiastes, Galatians, first Samuel, Isaiah, and two Corinthians. Will has genesis, Ephesians, Luke, Proverbs, first Timothy, first John, Colossians, mark. I got to say, I'm running away with it, fellas. [00:26:55] Speaker C: I disagree. [00:26:56] Speaker A: I don't know that. [00:26:57] Speaker B: Revelation and ecclesiastes back to back round picks. [00:26:59] Speaker A: I decide he's underrated. Underrated. [00:27:03] Speaker C: It's a fantastic book, but that's pretty high up on the board there. Well, I'm going to. I'm so sorry. I'm going to have to turn that one down. First Peter gives some uniqueness. [00:27:10] Speaker B: Okay. [00:27:11] Speaker C: It is to mind. [00:27:13] Speaker A: So. [00:27:13] Speaker C: Yeah, you're good, man. I'm such an idiot. Trading Jack, having four out of six picks, that's. [00:27:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:18] Speaker B: I should have done around nine and eleven a good bit. It is my pick, though. Is that right? [00:27:23] Speaker A: Mm hmm. [00:27:24] Speaker C: It is your pick. [00:27:24] Speaker A: Two and two. [00:27:26] Speaker B: Yeah. I got two in a row. I am going to ot. I'm not going testament in a bit. I'm gonna take Jonah. [00:27:34] Speaker A: I knew it. [00:27:36] Speaker B: As far as, like, teaching and thing like. Yeah, there. [00:27:39] Speaker A: There's. [00:27:39] Speaker B: There's some great stuff in Jonah to teach from and such. And I figured that was coming off the board here pretty shortly. [00:27:46] Speaker A: So say it's deep. [00:27:48] Speaker B: I would. I would. [00:27:49] Speaker C: No, no, no. I'm not. No, no. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Okay. I'm taking one of these, and I know that these are probably not going to be left on my. So I'm actually going to say both of them and let you guys tell me. Try to convince me here. First thessalonians or second Peter? [00:28:09] Speaker A: Oh. Hmm. [00:28:16] Speaker C: You want me to tell you which one I pick or which one I think you should? [00:28:19] Speaker B: Not necessarily. [00:28:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:20] Speaker B: I mean, make the case. I'm kind of torn on those two. So many. [00:28:24] Speaker C: I'll tell you what I. Yeah, well, no, I don't want to tell you what I have higher on my board. [00:28:28] Speaker A: Well, Jack's got next take second Peter. Why is that, Jack? Um, checks. I mean, you got second Peter. Three. And the Lord is not patient or is not. Is. Yeah. [00:28:46] Speaker B: Give me a second Peter. [00:28:46] Speaker A: He's right. [00:28:47] Speaker B: Give me second Peter. [00:28:49] Speaker A: Yes, there's good stuff in second Peter. Two, I think the righteous law section, all that. So second Peter. I almost picked Isaiah again. I already have Isaiah. These next two picks are me, Jack. So I am doing not Isaiah, because that's gone. I'm doing, man, this is getting really hard. There's the things I want to pick, and there's the things that I know are going to be the crowd pleasers, and we're going to put this out for a vote that are going to lose me the thing. And so, like, I should. I have two in a row here. I got to do what I want. Nehemiah and. [00:29:30] Speaker C: Okay. [00:29:33] Speaker B: Not upset with that pick. [00:29:35] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know about job, man. [00:29:43] Speaker C: I knew it, man. That was going to be mine. I didn't trade my pick. I would have had it. All right, give me Joshua. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Joshua. That was what I was debating between Joshua and jobs. I got it. [00:29:55] Speaker C: Joshua and Job were. [00:29:58] Speaker A: Like the birthright. Just had to have it. All right, so Joshua's gone. And that puts it. Oh, it's already my turn again. This is great. What a great Titus. [00:30:12] Speaker B: Yep. Jack's not. He reached on revelation, ecclesiastes. But these last few picks, other than Nehemiah, Job and Titus were great. Second Corinthians. Those are some great picks. [00:30:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:22] Speaker B: I cannot believe it's lasted this long. I'm going to go deuteronomy. [00:30:26] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. [00:30:27] Speaker B: Got some great stuff in deuteronomy with the shama. [00:30:30] Speaker C: That was my next one. [00:30:31] Speaker A: Yep. [00:30:33] Speaker B: So deuteronomy for me, man, having back to back pics is so nice. Jack took Titus. That was going to be my next New Testament book off the board. I figured with first Timothy and you already got the elders qualifications, so I wasn't, wasn't super bummed to miss out on that one. I've got one that I could that would really throw a wrench into some things I feel like here. Do I take the other Timothy to complete the. The double Timothy or do I. Hey, I don't want to name the other one that I'm going to take. Jack, what would it take to get your next pick? [00:31:14] Speaker A: I get to see. We're on twelve. Give me your. [00:31:20] Speaker C: Jack fleeced me last time, so be careful. [00:31:21] Speaker A: Give me your 14 and 15 and I'll give you my 17. [00:31:25] Speaker C: Don't. Don't do back to back rounds. That's one thing I've learned. Do like 1416 or something, because, man, he stacked. [00:31:30] Speaker A: He got like, 1416 would get you twelve and 2014. [00:31:35] Speaker B: And what was the other do four. I'll do 14 and 16. For twelve and 18. What was the first offer? [00:31:45] Speaker A: 1214. 16. And what did I say? [00:31:48] Speaker C: 720 for 14 and 16. [00:31:50] Speaker A: Well, but I had said it 1st. 17. I don't want to do that. Yeah, no deal. So you. [00:31:55] Speaker B: I'll do the first. I'll do the first one. I'll do the first one. So I'll give you back to back fix 15 and 16. Yeah, whichever. Would you. [00:32:01] Speaker A: Yeah. 1214. Oh, I said 1214. 15 and 17, but I don't want to give up. 17. [00:32:06] Speaker B: That's that. Oh, you then 18. That's fine. [00:32:10] Speaker A: 1214, 1518. Fine. [00:32:14] Speaker B: All right, give me second Timothy. Sonic Solomon. [00:32:25] Speaker A: What? [00:32:26] Speaker C: Whoa. [00:32:27] Speaker A: Okay. [00:32:28] Speaker C: What? [00:32:29] Speaker A: Yep. [00:32:32] Speaker C: Wow. Okay. [00:32:35] Speaker A: All right. [00:32:39] Speaker C: Well, is. Okay. [00:32:41] Speaker A: Joe's turn. [00:32:42] Speaker C: All right. [00:32:43] Speaker A: I picked for a while now. That was a bad in a row. [00:32:45] Speaker C: Three in a row. I'm gonna take first s loanings. [00:32:50] Speaker A: Okay, nice. [00:32:54] Speaker C: Three in a row. Let me think about this. I'm gonna take. I'm looking at my board. You know what? This is going to be great. [00:33:07] Speaker A: I think probably not. [00:33:12] Speaker C: I'm going to take first and second chronicles together. [00:33:17] Speaker A: What? [00:33:18] Speaker C: Get the set? Yeah. [00:33:20] Speaker A: That is a bad idea. [00:33:22] Speaker C: That's all right. [00:33:23] Speaker B: He just had three picks and blew two of them. That's impressive. [00:33:26] Speaker C: I don't. I don't need the kings. I don't need Samuel. I don't need. I got the entire history here. I got axe, I got exodus, I got Joshua, and I got the Chronicles, boys. I pretty much got the entire new old Testament right there. [00:33:38] Speaker A: Sure. For you. Good pick. Yeah. Yeah. [00:33:42] Speaker B: Go for it. [00:33:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:44] Speaker C: Now it's your collection. It's kind of like when you get the twin. Like, if you can draft twins, like, nobody's gonna understand the hockey reference of the Sadeen twins, but sometimes when you get the opportunity to draft both, like, one together may not be that big a deal, but when you get both. [00:33:58] Speaker A: You hit the sweet spot. [00:33:59] Speaker C: I'm happy with it. That's right. I'm happy. [00:34:01] Speaker A: I. [00:34:02] Speaker B: Man, this is where that trade is brutal, because I have two books that I really, really want right now, and it's not gonna happen. So, um, I will go ahead and take second. Samuel's got all of David's life, basically, so I'm gonna take second Samuel. [00:34:18] Speaker A: Yes. [00:34:18] Speaker C: Hey, you know what else says has a lot of his life? Some of that in chronicles as well. [00:34:23] Speaker A: Not as good. Not as good. [00:34:24] Speaker B: It's basically like the. Never mind. Both kings. [00:34:28] Speaker A: No, I'm not taking both kings. I don't need both. I want first kings. Solomon. The division of the kingdom. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Let's see. You don't complete the story, though, so that's okay. [00:34:43] Speaker B: Jack. Whenever it's not your pick. You need to rearrange the trait. The. Just so we can have a clearer picture of who's on whose team. Like, I'm looking at your column and I'm seeing song of Solomon. [00:34:53] Speaker A: Right? Yeah, yeah, it's. [00:34:57] Speaker C: Well, I should have. We're gonna. [00:34:58] Speaker A: We'll fix that in a bit. Uh, okay. Sorry. For anyone listening on podcasts, this is probably terrible, so you should watch it on YouTube. Uh, check out the focus press channel. Um, okay, so first kings, and now I'm gonna take. I have Esther next on my board. I don't want x Esther. Uh, it's a fine book, but, uh, let's go with judges. [00:35:19] Speaker B: Nice. [00:35:20] Speaker C: I had Esther and judges as my. [00:35:21] Speaker A: Next two on the board, so now. [00:35:23] Speaker C: But I'm with you. I don't. I don't know. [00:35:25] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know. [00:35:27] Speaker B: Watch list. [00:35:31] Speaker C: I'm going to go with. This is tough. This is tough, man. We're running out of New Testament books. Finally, man. Jude 2nd, 3rd, John. [00:35:46] Speaker A: You don't want Philemon? [00:35:48] Speaker C: No, I don't think you though. [00:35:51] Speaker B: This is a personal haggai still on the board. [00:35:54] Speaker C: This is a personal preference because it has one of my favorite. It's a crowd pleaser. It's to Jack's point where there's the crowd pleaser pick, and then there's the. You know, which is like, I'm going to have people voting on mine. So I have to pick. Right? Because I would jump and take Micah. I happen to love Micah. [00:36:11] Speaker A: I'm going to go. So go with Micah. [00:36:13] Speaker C: Do I? Okay, I spaced that. I'm gonna go with. Man, this is so difficult. Yeah. I'm gonna say ezekiel and I'm gonna say. Yeah. And I'm gonna say for crowd pleasing purposes, I am gonna take Esther. [00:36:39] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I was going to say I almost. Joe's like, esther's my next pick. Also. I'm not going to pick him in either one of my next two picks. [00:36:46] Speaker A: Right. I'm going to go with. [00:36:51] Speaker B: Jack's got two in a row here. [00:36:52] Speaker A: And then you know what? I have very high on my board not long after this that I really want to take. But as far as crowd pleaser is a terrible pick. Is numbers. Numbers is highly underrated. Book of the Bible. [00:37:06] Speaker B: Joe, were you taking that one anytime soon? [00:37:09] Speaker C: Um, no, it was on my list for sure, but I was not taking it anytime soon. [00:37:15] Speaker A: Should I leave it there? You guys are just trying to swoop it out from under me. [00:37:20] Speaker B: Oh, wait, I thought you'd already said you picked it. [00:37:22] Speaker A: No, no, we haven't taken Jeremiah. I mean, there's a lot of good stuff left. I mean, it's the Bible. There's, there's. It's all good stuff, of course, but there's, uh. We're actually now, I think, in almost a 40 picks, and so. Yeah, I know we're over 40 picks. So I'm going to take. Oh, second Samuel. [00:37:47] Speaker B: I took that one already. [00:37:48] Speaker C: Did you? [00:37:49] Speaker B: I took. [00:37:49] Speaker A: Oh, I didn't. I didn't mark it off my list. You're right, you did. I'm going to tell second kings is the one that's failed. I don't want second kings. I want numbers. So there it is. [00:37:58] Speaker B: All right, so I have one pick now instead of two in a row. So those five. So when's the last new Testament book that was taken? It's been a hot minute. What was it? [00:38:08] Speaker A: Second Timothy by you? [00:38:09] Speaker B: Second Timothy by me. That's right. Let me. Jack, go ahead and read. If you have them, go ahead and read the books that are left for anybody who's listening. I think I know what I'm gonna pick, but go ahead. [00:38:23] Speaker A: Second Thessalonians, Jeremiah. Well, now you're getting to see my board. [00:38:26] Speaker B: Okay, I've got him in order. I've got him in order to go. So old Testament, we have Leviticus, we have second kings, we have Ezra, Jeremiah, lamentations, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, habakkuk, zephaniah, haggai, Zachariah, malachi. For New Testament we have second thessalonians, Philemon, second John, third John and Jude. [00:38:45] Speaker C: We're gonna get some, like minor prophet scholar who is just like losing his mind right now, pulling. [00:38:50] Speaker A: I mean, there's really good ones, but it's kind of like, kind of like drafting a kicker in the NFL draft. Like even the best one you pick in the 7th round because, I mean, like, they only do second. They're so limited. Second thessalonians will. Can tell us who the man of lawlessness is. He finds out from having him on his team. Okay, so second thessalonians, I'm gonna take. You know what? Oh, man. I was gonna say one of those minor prophets, but there's still a lot of other stuff sitting there. We're teaching it. I'm gonna do it. Leviticus. [00:39:24] Speaker C: Oh, boy. That's a. [00:39:29] Speaker A: That is not a crowd pleaser. I understand, but, you know, definitely not. [00:39:34] Speaker B: That one was not coming off the board for me, and anytime soon, I didn't figure. [00:39:37] Speaker A: But that's okay, Joe. [00:39:40] Speaker C: All righty. I am going to take Jeremiah and lamentations. [00:39:50] Speaker A: Oh, and get. Get the set like those pairs, don't you? [00:39:54] Speaker C: Yep. [00:39:55] Speaker A: All right, that puts it back to me who I'm gonna take. So you got Jeremiah. You got limitations. I am going to dip into the minor profits and go with Malachi. [00:40:14] Speaker C: Man. I'm looking at my list, and if I had not traded you James for and I had those picks of Isaiah and job, I would be like, he's sitting pretty. I had Isaiah and job on mine, boy. [00:40:26] Speaker A: Okay, so of the minor prophets, we've had Malachi and Jonah. Come on. That's it, right? Yeah. [00:40:32] Speaker B: I'm taking one on this pick. I haven't decided. [00:40:34] Speaker A: You get three. Oh, now I do get three. [00:40:38] Speaker C: Oh, wow. Round 18 already. [00:40:40] Speaker B: And I've always loved nahoom, so I'm gonna take nahoom. If you want to study on the wrath of God, I think that's a obviously. [00:40:48] Speaker C: And you already have Jonah kind of. [00:40:49] Speaker A: Part two, so makes you. [00:40:51] Speaker B: Yep, yep, yep. Next up. Oh, this is tough because there's still. There's still four New Testament books left. [00:41:01] Speaker A: The little ones. [00:41:02] Speaker B: Um, I am actually gonna take Ezra. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Uh, yeah, I have that up. I. [00:41:09] Speaker C: That's my next one. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Yeah, anytime. [00:41:12] Speaker B: I'm taking y'all's next picks, then that means it's a good pick. All right, one more. Joe shouted out Micah, like, eight picks ago and has not Micah. [00:41:22] Speaker C: I was hoping it would stay. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Hey, you have. [00:41:29] Speaker C: Do you even know what Micah says? [00:41:32] Speaker B: That's the. [00:41:33] Speaker C: That's true. [00:41:34] Speaker A: That's true. [00:41:35] Speaker C: Okay. [00:41:35] Speaker A: All right, Joe, what you got doing? [00:41:37] Speaker C: All right, I'm gonna go with Hosea. [00:41:39] Speaker A: Jose. Great pick. [00:41:42] Speaker C: And I'm gonna go with. I feel like we need to take. You know what? When I said it, I had a really good time studying Jude. [00:41:49] Speaker A: Yeah. I was. [00:41:53] Speaker C: Second kings the size of my board, but I don't need them because I got the chronicles, so. [00:41:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. It's way up there for me, and we've kind of scrolled past it. You took Ezra, you said, right? [00:42:03] Speaker B: I did take Ezra. [00:42:07] Speaker A: Jude is gone. You know, another minor prophet. That's great. Is Joel. Anybody who gets quoted on on the day of Pentecost in acts two, he's all right by my book. [00:42:18] Speaker B: That is true. That is a very good point. Um, I got two in a row now, right? Yeah, I don't have much of the kings because all I have is second samus. I'll take second kings. [00:42:29] Speaker A: Okay. [00:42:33] Speaker B: For balance here. Oh, man. We are down to. What is that? Eight books left, nine books left. [00:42:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Nine books. I am going to go with. I'll take Amos. [00:42:59] Speaker A: Amos. Okay. [00:43:00] Speaker C: Give me famous Amos. Love his cookies. [00:43:05] Speaker A: Let's see. We have not done Zechariah, right? Correct. I'm going with that. [00:43:10] Speaker B: Don't do that. [00:43:11] Speaker A: It's such a good book. [00:43:13] Speaker C: Zechariah three is. Is one of my favorite chapters. [00:43:16] Speaker A: The priestly garments. And it points toward revelation. Is. There's quotation in there. There's some. Some of the apocalyptic stuff. Yeah. Very good. [00:43:28] Speaker C: I'm gonna go Philemon, and I'm gonna go with. Man. The Zephaniah habakkuk. Hagai obadiah. I jumbled him in there because I don't really have a preference on what I would pick first. I think I'll just go with Obadiah is unique because it's the shortest. [00:43:56] Speaker A: Okay. [00:43:56] Speaker C: But, yeah, well, yeah. Obadiah. [00:44:00] Speaker A: Obadiah. Second and third John haven't been taken, right? [00:44:05] Speaker C: They have not. [00:44:05] Speaker A: Correct. Okay. Second John for me. I haven't taken the New Testament in ten rounds, so I should probably grab one. [00:44:15] Speaker C: Jack just didn't like the new Testament. [00:44:17] Speaker B: All right, so these are my last two picks. [00:44:19] Speaker A: Two picks. [00:44:22] Speaker B: Habakkuk. [00:44:24] Speaker A: Okay. [00:44:29] Speaker B: And I'm gonna make you all fight over Zephanine Haggai, I think third John. [00:44:34] Speaker A: Oh, man. Well, you know, what is the last pick? [00:44:41] Speaker B: What is Mister irrelevant going to be for the books of the. [00:44:44] Speaker A: That's very bad. We. [00:44:49] Speaker B: For anybody who's listening, though, the last pick of the NFL draft is always called Mister irrelevant, so just want to put that out there. [00:44:57] Speaker A: Yes. Zephaniah. We're not. We're not calling it that. Haggai is my pick there, which leaves Joe Zephaniah. So this was a lot of fun. As I said, this is a lot more fun to watch than to listen to. So we really appreciate everyone who listens via podcast, and hopefully it was still enjoyable in that format. But let's kind of review a little bit and see if there's any final trades you guys want to make, because I fleeced you so bad on some of the other ones, and I've still. [00:45:25] Speaker B: Got Colossians on the market just because it's. It's similar to Ephesians. So where. Where I got it, I feel. I feel good about it. It was good value, but I feel like it could be better served on somebody else's team. So that's the only. [00:45:39] Speaker A: I'll say Colossians. Uh, okay. Uh, man, you've got first and second Timothy. I'd almost throw you Titus and give you for Colossians, but, uh, give you the set, but I don't know. Okay, let's. [00:45:53] Speaker C: Joe's. [00:45:54] Speaker A: Joe's lineup of Bible books that he drafted. Romans, Exodus, Matthew, acts, first Corinthians, Philippians, first Peter, Daniel, Joshua, first Thessalonians, first chronicles. Hold on. I'm coming to it. Ezekiel, Esther, Jeremiah, lamentations, Hosea, Jude, Philemon, Obadiah, and Zephaniah. And acquired by trade, James and second chronicles. Not bad. Not bad. Let's see. Okay, mine are psalms, John, Hebrews, revelation, ecclesiastes, Galatians, first Samuel, two Corinthians, Nehemiah, Titus, judges, Ruth, Leviticus, Malachi, Joel, Zechariah, second John, Haggai, acquired by trade, Isaiah, Job, first kings and numbers. Man, I was wheeling and dealing tonight, I tell you. And then will had Genesis, Ephesians, Luke, proverbs, one Timothy, one John, Colossians, Mark, Jonah, two Peter, Deuteronomy, two Timothy, second Samuel, second Thessalonians, Nahum, Ezra, second kings, Amos, Habakkuk, third John. And acquired by trade Song of Solomon and Micah. I got to say, I was shocked you offered a trade for Song of Solomon in round twelve. [00:47:18] Speaker B: Well, I thought Joe was going to snatch it up. And as far as Old Testament books that have solid teaching value, that one was pretty high up there, I felt like, for what was left at the time. [00:47:27] Speaker C: Please do tell me about your solid teaching value in this one with the class. [00:47:33] Speaker B: You're the one with us on it. [00:47:35] Speaker C: Yeah, and I'm surprised they let me teach it, to be honest with you. So let's say, uh, no. I mean, I thought. I figured it would. I dropped it low on my list because I figured it would kind of stick around and I'd snag it in some later. 16th, 17th round. Um. [00:47:47] Speaker A: Good for you. 66. [00:47:49] Speaker B: Well, the pics that Jack, the pics you took from. [00:47:51] Speaker C: Was it really. [00:47:51] Speaker B: You're six. [00:47:53] Speaker A: What? Wow. I. Nothing against it, but your marriage, it's. Yeah, pretty limited usage, you know, on. [00:48:03] Speaker B: That note, I will say, jack, the pics you took for me were first kings and numbers, so I don't really feel that bad. [00:48:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I got a lot. [00:48:10] Speaker C: Isaiah and job. [00:48:11] Speaker A: Yeah, I got a lot more out of my trade with Joe, so. [00:48:13] Speaker B: You did? [00:48:14] Speaker C: I really thought you'd leave one of those. And that. That hurts. Honestly, that hurts. [00:48:17] Speaker B: Give me out of the deal. [00:48:19] Speaker A: So, yeah. [00:48:23] Speaker B: Joe's regretting his trade. You can tell. [00:48:25] Speaker A: See, I like the first. [00:48:26] Speaker B: I wish I got. [00:48:26] Speaker A: You got Elijah stories in there. You've got. I mean, you got go read first kings. I mean, like, and this was the point of this first king is you can get very focused on certain parts of the Bible, very New Testament focused. And you just realize, man, it's hard. And, yeah, you end up with books picked in the 22nd round, but they're really good books in themselves. I mean, I picked haggai with the next to last pick in the draft and really important stuff in there and third John. And, you know, like, every part of the Bible is really engaging, really, just really relevant, really powerful. And so, yeah, I mean, it probably came across, we struggle over these things because it's, it's challenging to pick which one you want more than another or to build, like, a lineup of. If this was all you had was 22 books that you could take with you. So I guess when we're asking people to evaluate, what, what grounds are we asking them to evaluate on? Is it the number of best books? It is the most complete span. [00:49:24] Speaker C: What I was gonna say, most complete. That's very much what I was gonna say. [00:49:27] Speaker B: If you had to pick one team, like one team of books that you had to read for the rest of your life out of the Bible, which, which team would you take? Okay, that's, that's like, are you willing, are you willing to miss out on romans if you take me or me or Jack's pick? Are you willing to miss out on Genesis if you take, you know, one of the other two? You know, so, yeah, I'm sitting pretty in that. [00:49:47] Speaker C: I'm sitting pretty in that. Uh, as I'm seeing it, Romans, Matthew acts, first corinthians. [00:49:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Good for you. We'll, we'll put it to the people and see what we get. Um, pretty good. So what we're going to do, as I said, if you're watching on video, you're seeing the list right in front of you here, which should be helpful if you're listening via podcast, we're going to put these up on the think deeper facebook page. So just search thing deeper podcast. If you don't already follow us on there, we're going to have people vote by, like, so you. We're going to put all three Bible book lists up. You, like, who you think has the most complete, well rounded team that they have drafted, and I guess that will be the, the super bowl winner of the Think Deeper podcast Bible books draft. So it's been a lot of fun. As we said, we've between, I don't know what have been some of the topics, church discipline, public school, you know, two on prayer. Yeah. Women's roles, the ones on prayer. There's been some really heavy stuff, some controversial stuff. We've just, we've had a lot of, you know, feedback and things like that that we've been dealing with for a while. Let's just have a good time. Let's kick it around, figure out who can draft the best 22 books of the Bible and see what the deep thinkers think. So hopefully you enjoyed it. If you have comments, if you think somebody reached really bad with a pick, when you see these, these lists. Pick by round. I stand by revelation in round four. Joe just didn't understand it well enough. That's what it is. And so where, you know, you see a pick that fell way too far, if your favorite book got drafted in the 17th round or something, well, tell us if we went too high on one of them and you think, man, why would you grab that there? And just. That's the fun of it is, is when you're in the Bible, we all have different opinions on it. And so that's kind of what we're getting at here. Anything else from you guys before we close again? [00:51:39] Speaker C: Please don't take this too seriously. [00:51:41] Speaker A: We do get worried about if somebody's listening this long, they understand is just having a good time. So hopefully they caught the disclaimer on the front end. That's true, but yeah, no, again, thanks for listening and we will be back with something a little bit more normal next week and we'll talk to you then.
