  Speaker 1: Well, good afternoon, listeners. Thank you for listening to Lament
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of Hope podcast, and I'm very grateful. This is going
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to be a little unconventional, because if you're watching this,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to see it's just the logo for the podcast,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but Dr. Katina and I really tried, and unfortunately, we
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: weren't able to do video, but that's okay. I was
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: going to say, that's the encouragement to me, too, is that,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and it's something I've been convicted on and have to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: grow in, is that often and I think in the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Christian community, and it's a big thing, and this is

• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I see Christ going and sharing the truth and talking

  Speaker 1: with others, but he didn't ban people from his presence
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: because they were different than him or didn't agree. And
• 1:23

  Speaker 1: versus them so much here in America. But when, It's
