## Resource

Isn't it weird that the Bible has all these little verse and chapter markers? And the original writers of the books of the Bible didn't write them. So, where did they come from? Kaitlyn explains why we have verse and chapter markers and how it sometimes changes how we read the Bible. 0:00 - Theme Song 0:52 - What's With All the Numbers in the Bible? 4:00 - Why Read Whole Books of the Bible? 8:18 - Dividing the Bible Into Verses 13:35 - Sponsor - With & For: Psychology and Spirituality for Thriving Podcast.
