Lead:

Jesus’ half brothers thought He was crazy. “What changed?” is a great question to ask yourself and others.

Intro:

Alright, one stylistic thing about this podcast — I give us permission to skim stuff that’s really repetitive. An extreme example is in Numbers 9 where the same exact paragraph is repeated 12 times, once for each of the 12 tribes of Israel. So we’ve got a lot to read today, and if you hear me edit on the fly, just know that it’s one of my spiritual gifts (#JK!). Seriously, I won’t leave anything out. But now you know.
