Lead: Ex what? And why, exactly, do I want to learn some Latin term anyway?
Intro: Hey all, welcome to day 15 of the recording-from-the-road roadshow!
Today we kick off the book of Jeremiah, and we (I!) have a big problem — the reading plan of The Bible Project starts covering a lot of territory. Did I mention that we have A BIG PROBLEM?
If we are following their plan, the next couple weeks you will be reading more than twice as much per day as you’d be reading last week. For example…today in three chapters of Jeremiah there are twice as many words as yesterday’s four chapters in Song of Songs.
Sadly, this is the problem with using chapter divisions for a reading plan. Today’s time requirement is literally twice as much as yesterday. So I wanted you to know that our apologetics section will be quite terse during this trip through Jeremiah.
