Just waiting waiting for someone to try me so it's fine right? But yes, I I I'm a program coordinator for YWCA leadership and social justice program. If you're trying to learn about what's going on in Columbus, holla at me. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Yeah pretty involved in my church and Columbus and just out here trying to live life. Do you know how to make a pop quiz Pop Quiz? Like, what's your favorite memory of me? Wow inside? Yes, I have a quiz which we try to learn about you. What's your favorite memory is me and US children about to be so trash and say something embarrassing about you. I don't know about me. I don't do anything embarrassing. That's not good off. Yeah, we really not true backs of can't think of anything your favorite memory. I remember that one time you ate something you have an allergic reaction 8 you were crying because he was scared. Actually, so wild of me to snow. So wild I just loaded it was closing but it's fine. I'm literally fashionable, but I'm really happy that that's the memory that you have to cut that out. Okay. I actually have a good memory Taylor. Let's make low no, we don't have to cut it out. You know what I tell people about you when people ask me about you. I say my sister is awesome. She's very confident. And great to I say she's like the popular cheerleader type, which I don't know if that's a compliment but I think it is Ian. Thank you. My haters will not take that as a compliment and I always say she's so responsible and in high school, she would like frequently remember like if I had a filter I wouldn't even remember I had a field trip, but she would like show up with the permission slip that I meet sign for me went to school and then once she I left for college I had to learn how to be responsible myself, but that's my sister. She has taken care of me and she loves me. So that's that. Yeah, I literally told Bobby Dad. I've been taking care of you your whole life. But yeah and Lauren I was before I had Reagan three months ago. I always would say Lauren's my favorite human, but I don't know now right in its kind of her. She's Here we have the best so it's mine. Um, what as yeah, what's a memory of me? Um, that was my memory of you know, I'm pretty quick. I feel like I feel like well one we live together in college. That was very fun. Oh my gosh, you're right. Yes. Well, we live together my senior year that's related to your sister. Unless you don't like your sister. Yeah, then there's the worst. Yeah, so that was a fun. Time also we will make up songs. And when we were in high school and middle school like forks and knives that was a Meyer, I can't stand this. Why don't we Podcast together. I'm so happy that we're doing this together because I feel like we really need this podcast and I feel like this would be a really great space for us to talk about the words together and just talk and connect and also for so many other people because it's just going to be so fun. So what Lauren what do you when you think of brown girl Bible? What do you think of and what are we going to be doing for the most part? Wow. Well, I don't fully know. No, I mean I do I do basically this is what we're doing through the whole Bible in a year and we're going to talk about it. Every week are not no no not every week. We're going to talk about it throughout the year. And then also we're going to have like talk about other stuff too. And that's pretty much it. Yeah, I'm so pumped because we're gonna read through the Bible in a year, which is so many people's goal and It takes accountability because you know, you always start you like I'm about to go in and you start in Genesis 1 you get to job and then you be like NOS. It's like I fell off but if you have this podcast the chances of you staying consistent are so much higher. So we're going to all do it together and I'm really excited because I've never read through the entire Bible and I always wanted to read it chronologically because the Bible is literally a story like it's so exciting. Yes, yes. Oh that's going to be fun. But also we are going to talk about like culture and stuff like that from the perspective of just to brown girls. Like we have to talk about culture. What do they think the current events things that happen and just the lens really through the gospel through our perspective and it's going to be very fun. Yes. I'm very excited to do it. And you all should I be read through the Bible chronologically with us in 2020. It's really good and fun and the word is transformative understatement of the year. So under State, yes. I read I read through this in 2018 and it was a really transformed my Like my the way, I approach the word in that I was I don't know if you try to have time in the word daily. Like I do I feel like a lot of us get caught up in this cycle of okay. We're at a time the word and then oh, I miss some days and I feel guilty or I'm realizing some other sin or whatever and I feel guilty and it's making me want to pull away from the Lord and reading the word and so you just have this on Laughs botanist and I felt like the just like day-to-day goals of it really helped me to put into practice. What I already know. Is that like no matter what I can approach God even if it's like, you know, I'm supposed to be on February 28th, and I'm more February 10 like just approach God for that day that you can and it's very transformative. So it really is I think a lot of people may just see the Bible. Oil and just take it, you know little quotes here and there but reading it holistically is going to be so amazing. And then also on our next podcast that you can listen to right after this on how to study the Bible. It really will give you Insight on just like like the details and just going deeper in the word a lot of us even May read it. But you know, it'll actually give us a lot more background a lot more context what they're really saying there and so it's just going to be really fun and we all can just do it together. So Yeah, yes girl. Yes is really going to be very transformative and really helpful for the people listening and all of us to be empowered to understand and read the Bible more ourselves. It's going to teach us instead of just listening to our application. It's going to teach each of us how to hear from the Lord more. So on our own and I think that's what's really cool about it and that's I just I don't like sugar coating. I don't like just kind of those little I mean devotionals are fine, of course, but I just love getting straight to the word just plainly dividing the word of Truth and being Unapologetic about it. Literally reading the Bible for what it says, but also understanding it in context so I'm really pumped about that me too in it be a lot sometimes like I definitely suggest having a What's a macaw? What are those called a commentary how commentary commentary because you will maybe interpret something really differently and then you look at the commentary be like, oh that is like the cultural, you know substance behind this and like, oh, that's totally so we should definitely send out some links to commentaries like good online resources and and that kind of stuff Blue Letter by Is the go yes, truly Beyond TBH P. Yea, I think that will link some commentaries in the show notes and will link some inductive Bible studies, which is the method that we'll be using and we'll explain that more in the next podcast how to study the Bible. So make sure you listen to that and then also you click the link below will send you our own how to study the Bible worksheet just to give you kind of a summarized version of how to to do an inductive Bible study and it'll be kind of a little cheat sheet for you when you're you know, having your time in reading the word except so it'll be great so fun. And what was I going to say? Oh, yeah, the other part of this podcast is also so we're going to have one episode of month or are we doing two a month? Yeah, we're doing two episodes of month where we are going to share something. In the past two weeks that we read in those two weeks readings that we both really gathered something from and that's going to be two episodes a month and the other two episodes a month are going to be just like fun, you know girl checked. I'm not girl jack just chat in general between me and Taylor talking about. Yeah what's going on in the culture what's going on in our lives just fun because that's something I realized. I really love fun. A comedic just conversational podcast, right? But a lot of them named Dee crazy, which is beautiful. It's if you like that but it would be fun to do that ourselves. So yes, yes. Yeah. No that's going to be fun. So we have our brown girl Bible where we talk about our Chronological Bible reading and then every other Tuesday, we'll have our brown girl broadcast which will be All the tea all the tea. Wow. Wow.
