What crazy wager did Jase win?
I am unashamed. What about you? Welcome back to unashamed. Um, still in our different locations, uh, coming to you, but, uh, we're excited about it. We're still waiting on dad to get, uh, get that back lined out, but hopefully we'll get him back on here soon. Uh, keep him in your prayers for sure. Um, I sent y'all, uh, Jason, Zach, an interesting article that I ran across about an archaeological find in the Judean desert. And it was really, it was interesting because it's dated back, I think, around the 5th century. There were some monks that were there, these Byzantine monks, and it was written in Koine Greek, and it was the first two verses, kind of a translation of the first two verses from Psalm 86.
But this thing was written in stone, which was really interesting because most of the stuff they find up in that desert are on papyrus or different kind of writing things, and they don't find it very often in stone. But I thought it was really interesting that the verses say, Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you. Save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God. And it was written in the same Koine Greek that the New Testament comes from as well. And so it was really encouraging and inspiring to me because you think about it like – that we wouldn't still be finding stuff, but there's so much there. And the guy that was describing it says like, uh, he felt like Indiana Jones, you know, cause there's all these caves and, you know, there's places that just still haven't been looked at in depth. And so they're going back in, you know, like this year they're planning another three week trip. And so I just, I find it interesting that every time something is found, uh,
It just deepens our understanding of this whole thing. The Bible, our belief system, all of you know, there was not finding something that says, oh, no, that's true. They continue to give evidences that all this is real. And, you know, we're talking about going back. what, 1,500 years to find this. So it was really fascinating to me. And you can look that up because it just happened this last week. And so I ran across that on X. But it's just encouraging, Zach. I mean, you think about that. We talk about apologetics, but it's really just discovering things that continue to point to who God is.
Oh, no question. If you apply the same standard, the same academic standards, to the Bible that we do other books of antiquity, there's not really any other book that comes close in terms of the validity of the historicity of it. There's so many copies and so much that testifies to the validity of just its accuracy. So I think that's true, but the problem is people want to interpret it and they don't want to apply the same standard. They want to use some other standard. that doesn't exist in the world to somehow validate it. But for me, the greatest evidence, though, is honestly just seeing lives change, seeing my own life change, seeing the transformation that I see in people. And then just the aspect of why do I even appreciate beauty in the world? Why are things that are good, good? Why are things that are bad, bad? He's just everywhere and he's inescapable. So for me, it's it's but but this kind of stuff does encourage me every time I read it. So, yeah, thanks for that. Yeah.
And it's it's that it's the two revelations we talk about is the, you know, from from Romans one, you see the idea of what we see. Every day, which is kind of what you were just describing, you see God in so much stuff. And so there's that general revelation. And then you get this specific revelation like this, where it's actually words written down by spirit-filled people over the course of thousands of years of human history into a story that still is being told about this Jesus of Nazareth. And him being God in flesh. And so it really is. It really is incredible. And I mean, we've dedicated our lives to not only researching and studying and figuring out ways it shapes us, but also, you know, sharing what it can do for people, you know, because we all have the same human conditions.
