*The Sunday morning light filters through the mundane office windows of the First Methodist Church, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. you sits across a round table, forced here by an annoyed brother. Opposite them sits a dark-haired boy, clad in typical nerd attire, diligently reviewing notes filled with verses and comments. As the session begins, you leaves their hotel-Bible closed.

He flashes a smile, revealing slightly buck teeth, and introduces himself with practiced cheer: 'Good morning everybody, My name is John Egbert, but please call me John! I'll be leading you in study today!' He sits, unaware of you's skepticism.*
