  We're

  verses

  19

  through

  31
• 1:00
  from

  the
• 1:00
  Message
• 1:01
  so
• 1:02
  Ananias
• 1:02
  went
• 1:02
  and
• 1:03
  found
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  house,
• 1:03
  placed
• 1:04
  his
• 1:04
  hands
• 1:04
  on
• 1:04
  blind
• 1:05
  Saul
• 1:05
  and
• 1:06
  said,
• 1:07
  brother
• 1:07
  Saul,
• 1:07
  the
• 1:08
  Master
• 1:08
  sent
• 1:08
  me
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  same
• 1:09
  Jesus
• 1:09
  you
• 1:09
  saw
• 1:10
  on
• 1:10
  your
• 1:10
  way
• 1:10
  here.
• 1:11
  He
• 1:12
  sent
• 1:12
  me
• 1:12
  so
• 1:12
  you
• 1:13
  could
• 1:13
  see
• 1:13
  again
• 1:13
  and
• 1:13
  be
• 1:14
  filled
• 1:14
  with
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  Holy
• 1:14
  Spirit.
• 1:17
  No
• 1:17
  sooner
• 1:17
  were
• 1:17
  the
• 1:18
  words
• 1:18
  out
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  his
• 1:18
  mouth
• 1:19
  than
• 1:19
  something
• 1:19
  like
• 1:19
  scales
• 1:20
  fell
• 1:21
  from
• 1:21
  Saul's
• 1:21
  eyes
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  he
• 1:22
  could
• 1:22
  see
• 1:22
  again.
• 1:24
  He
• 1:24
  got
• 1:24
  to
• 1:24
  his
• 1:24
  feet,
• 1:24
  was
• 1:25
  baptized,
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  sat
• 1:26
  down
• 1:26
  with
• 1:26
  him
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  a
• 1:27
  hearty
• 1:27
  meal.
• 1:28
  Plots
• 1:29
  Against
• 1:29
  Saul
• 1:31
  Saul
• 1:32
  spent
• 1:32
  a
• 1:32
  few
• 1:32
  days
• 1:33
  getting
• 1:33
  acquainted
• 1:33
  with
• 1:33
  the
• 1:34
  Damascus
• 1:34
  disciples
• 1:35
  and
• 1:35
  then
• 1:35
  went
• 1:35
  right
• 1:35
  to
• 1:36
  work,
• 1:36
  wasting
• 1:37
  no
• 1:37
  time,
• 1:37
  preaching
• 1:38
  in
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  meeting
• 1:38
  places
• 1:39
  that
• 1:39
  this
• 1:39
  Jesus
• 1:40
  was
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  Son
• 1:40
  of
• 1:41
  God.
• 1:41
  They
• 1:41
  were
• 1:42
  caught
• 1:42
  off
• 1:42
  guard
• 1:42
  by
• 1:42
  this
• 1:43
  and
• 1:43
  not
• 1:43
  at
• 1:43
  all
• 1:43
  sure
• 1:43
  they
• 1:44
  could
• 1:44
  trust
• 1:44
  him.
• 1:44
  And
• 1:44
  they
• 1:44
  kept
• 1:45
  saying,
• 1:45
  isn't
• 1:46
  this
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  man
• 1:46
  who
• 1:46
  wreaked
• 1:47
  havoc
• 1:47
  in
• 1:47
  Jerusalem
• 1:48
  among
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  believers?
• 1:50
  Then
• 1:50
  he
• 1:50
  come
• 1:50
  here
• 1:50
  to
• 1:51
  do
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  same
• 1:51
  thing,
• 1:51
  arrest
• 1:52
  us
• 1:52
  and
• 1:52
  drag
• 1:52
  us
• 1:52
  off
• 1:53
  to
• 1:53
  jail
• 1:53
  in
• 1:54
  Jerusalem
• 1:55
  for
• 1:55
  sentencing
• 1:55
  by
• 1:55
  the
• 1:56
  high
• 1:56
  priest.
• 1:57
  But
• 1:58
  their
• 1:58
  suspicions
• 1:59
  didn't
• 1:59
  slow
• 2:00
  Saul
• 2:00
  down
• 2:00
  for
• 2:01
  even
• 2:01
  a
• 2:01
  minute.
• 2:01
  His
• 2:02
  momentum
• 2:02
  was
• 2:03
  up
• 2:03
  now
• 2:03
  and
• 2:03
  he
• 2:03
  plowed
• 2:04
  straight
• 2:04
  into
• 2:04
  the
• 2:05
  opposition,
• 2:06
  disarming
• 2:06
  the
• 2:06
  Damascus
• 2:07
  Jews
• 2:07
  and
• 2:08
  trying
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  show
• 2:08
  them
• 2:08
  that
• 2:09
  this
• 2:09
  Jesus
• 2:10
  was
• 2:10
  the
• 2:11
  Messiah.
• 2:12
  After
• 2:12
  this
• 2:13
  had
• 2:13
  gone
• 2:13
  on
• 2:13
  quite
• 2:13
  a
• 2:13
  long
• 2:14
  time,
• 2:14
  some
• 2:14
  Jews
• 2:15
  conspired
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  kill
• 2:15
  him,
• 2:16
  but
• 2:16
  Saul
• 2:17
  got
• 2:17
  wind
• 2:17
  of
• 2:18
  it.
• 2:18
  They
• 2:19
  were
• 2:19
  watching
• 2:19
  in
• 2:19
  the
• 2:20
  city
• 2:20
  gates
• 2:21
  around
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  clock
• 2:21
  so
• 2:22
  they
• 2:22
  could
• 2:22
  kill
• 2:22
  him.
• 2:23
  Then
• 2:24
  one
• 2:24
  night,
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  disciples
• 2:25
  engineered
• 2:25
  his
• 2:26
  escape
• 2:26
  by
• 2:27
  lowering
• 2:27
  him
• 2:28
  over
• 2:28
  the
• 2:29
  wall
• 2:29
  in
• 2:30
  a
• 2:30
  basket.
• 2:31
  Back
• 2:32
  in
• 2:32
  Jerusalem,
• 2:33
  he
• 2:33
  tried
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  join
• 2:34
  the
• 2:34
  disciples,
• 2:34
  but
• 2:34
  they
• 2:34
  were
• 2:35
  afraid
• 2:35
  of
• 2:35
  him.
• 2:36
  They
• 2:36
  didn't
• 2:36
  trust
• 2:37
  him
• 2:37
  one
• 2:37
  bit.
• 2:38
  Then
• 2:39
  Barnabas
• 2:39
  took
• 2:39
  him
• 2:40
  under
• 2:40
  his
• 2:40
  wing
• 2:40
  and
• 2:41
  he
• 2:41
  introduced
• 2:41
  him
• 2:41
  to
• 2:41
  the
• 2:42
  apostles
• 2:42
  and
• 2:43
  stood
• 2:43
  up
• 2:43
  for
• 2:43
  him
• 2:44
  and
• 2:45
  told
• 2:45
  them
• 2:45
  how
• 2:46
  Saul
• 2:46
  had
• 2:46
  seen
• 2:47
  and
• 2:48
  spoken
• 2:48
  to
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  Master
• 2:49
  on
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  Damascus
• 2:50
  road
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  how
• 2:51
  in
• 2:51
  Damascus
• 2:52
  itself
• 2:53
  he
• 2:53
  had
• 2:53
  laid
• 2:54
  his
• 2:54
  life
• 2:54
  on
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  line
• 2:55
  with
• 2:55
  his
• 2:55
  bold
• 2:56
  preaching
• 2:56
  in
• 2:57
  Jesus
• 2:58
  name.
• 2:59
  After
• 2:59
  that
• 3:00
  he
• 3:00
  was
• 3:00
  accepted
• 3:00
  as
• 3:01
  one
• 3:01
  of
• 3:01
  them,
• 3:01
  going
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  and
• 3:02
  out
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  Jerusalem
• 3:03
  with
• 3:03
  no
• 3:03
  questions
• 3:04
  asked,
• 3:04
  uninhibited
• 3:05
  as
• 3:05
  he
• 3:05
  preached
• 3:06
  in
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  Master's
• 3:06
  name.
• 3:07
  Then
• 3:07
  he
• 3:07
  ran
• 3:08
  afoul
• 3:08
  of
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  group
• 3:09
  called
• 3:09
  Helitus.
• 3:10
  He
• 3:11
  had
• 3:11
  been
• 3:11
  engaged
• 3:12
  in
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  running
• 3:12
  argument
• 3:13
  with
• 3:13
  them
• 3:14
  who
• 3:14
  plotted
• 3:15
  his
• 3:15
  murder.
• 3:16
  When
• 3:16
  his
• 3:16
  friends
• 3:17
  learned
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  this
• 3:17
  plot,
• 3:18
  they
• 3:18
  got
• 3:18
  him
• 3:18
  out
• 3:19
  of
• 3:19
  town,
• 3:19
  took
• 3:20
  him
• 3:20
  to
• 3:20
  Caesarea
• 3:21
  and
• 3:22
  then
• 3:22
  shipped
• 3:23
  him
• 3:23
  off
• 3:23
  to
• 3:23
  Tarsus.
• 3:25
  Things
• 3:25
  calmed
• 3:26
  down
• 3:26
  after
• 3:26
  that
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  the
• 3:27
  church
• 3:27
  had
• 3:27
  smooth
• 3:28
  sailing
• 3:28
  for
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  while.
• 3:30
  All
• 3:30
  over
• 3:30
  the
• 3:31
  country,
• 3:31
  Judea,
• 3:32
  Samaria
• 3:33
  and
• 3:34
  Galilee,
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  church
• 3:35
  grew.
• 3:36
  They
• 3:36
  were
• 3:36
  permeated
• 3:37
  with
• 3:37
  a
• 3:37
  sense
• 3:37
  of
• 3:37
  reverence
• 3:38
  for
• 3:38
  God.
• 3:39
  The
• 3:39
  Holy
• 3:39
  Spirit
• 3:40
  was
• 3:40
  with
• 3:40
  them,
• 3:40
  strengthen
• 3:41
  them,
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  they
• 3:42
  prospered
• 3:43
  wonderfully.
• 3:45
  Oh
• 3:45
  my
• 3:45
  friend,
• 3:46
  that.
• 3:46
  That
• 3:46
  ends
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  reading
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  thanks
• 3:47
  for
• 3:48
  taking
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  few
• 3:49
  minutes
• 3:49
  with
• 3:49
  me
• 3:49
  today
• 3:49
  as
• 3:50
  we
• 3:50
  go
• 3:50
  a
• 3:50
  little
• 3:50
  deeper
• 3:50
  here
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  Saul.
• 3:52
  In
• 3:52
  this
• 3:52
  passage
• 3:53
  here,
• 3:53
  Saul
• 3:53
  goes
• 3:53
  from
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  new
• 3:54
  believer
• 3:55
  at
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  shared
• 3:56
  meal
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  a
• 3:57
  bold
• 3:57
  preacher
• 3:58
  and
• 3:59
  then
• 4:00
  gets
• 4:00
  himself
• 4:01
  involved
• 4:01
  with
• 4:02
  these
• 4:02
  life
• 4:03
  threatening
• 4:03
  plots
• 4:03
  and
• 4:04
  escapes
• 4:05
  and
• 4:05
  baskets
• 4:05
  over
• 4:06
  walls
• 4:06
  and
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  wary
• 4:08
  welcome
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  Jerusalem.
• 4:09
  And
• 4:09
  finally,
• 4:10
  this
• 4:10
  character
• 4:11
  Barnabas
• 4:12
  stepping
• 4:12
  forward
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  vouch
• 4:13
  for
• 4:13
  him
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  the
• 4:15
  church.
• 4:15
  This
• 4:15
  passage
• 4:16
  ends
• 4:16
  with
• 4:16
  the
• 4:16
  church
• 4:17
  having
• 4:17
  a
• 4:18
  period
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  smooth
• 4:18
  sailing,
• 4:19
  growing
• 4:20
  in
• 4:20
  reverence
• 4:20
  with
• 4:21
  spirit
• 4:21
  and
• 4:21
  strength.
• 4:22
  And
• 4:23
  some
• 4:23
  really
• 4:24
  drama
• 4:24
  here,
• 4:24
  isn't
• 4:25
  there?
• 4:25
  Let's
• 4:25
  get
• 4:26
  into
• 4:26
  some
• 4:26
  points
• 4:26
  to
• 4:26
  ponder
• 4:27
  about
• 4:28
  this
• 4:28
  passage
• 4:28
  here
• 4:29
  for
• 4:29
  you
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  think
• 4:30
  about.
• 4:30
  The
• 4:30
  first
• 4:31
  is
• 4:31
  that
• 4:31
  trust
• 4:31
  is
• 4:32
  holy
• 4:33
  and
• 4:33
  is
• 4:33
  earned
• 4:34
  with
• 4:34
  safeguards.
• 4:35
  The
• 4:36
  Damascus
• 4:36
  and
• 4:37
  Jerusalem
• 4:37
  believers
• 4:38
  are
• 4:38
  understandably
• 4:39
  cautious.
• 4:40
  Progressive
• 4:41
  faith
• 4:41
  honors
• 4:42
  trauma,
• 4:42
  aware
• 4:43
  boundaries.
• 4:44
  We
• 4:44
  protect
• 4:44
  the
• 4:44
  vulnerable
• 4:45
  while
• 4:45
  discerning
• 4:46
  genuine
• 4:47
  change.
• 4:48
  Barnabas
• 4:48
  doesn't
• 4:49
  dismiss
• 4:49
  the
• 4:49
  fear.
• 4:50
  He
• 4:50
  provides
• 4:51
  testimony,
• 4:52
  relationships
• 4:53
  and
• 4:53
  accountability.
• 4:54
  He
• 4:54
  calls
• 4:55
  him
• 4:55
  brother.
• 4:56
  And
• 4:56
  brother
• 4:57
  is
• 4:57
  not
• 4:57
  about
• 4:57
  cheap
• 4:57
  grace.
• 4:58
  It's
• 4:58
  grace
• 4:59
  with
• 4:59
  guard
• 4:59
  wheels.
• 5:00
  In
• 5:00
  community
• 5:01
  terms,
• 5:01
  it
• 5:01
  means
• 5:02
  verification,
• 5:03
  mentorship,
• 5:04
  clear
• 5:04
  expectations
• 5:06
  and
• 5:06
  shared
• 5:07
  power.
• 5:09
  A
• 5:09
  second
• 5:09
  point
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  ponder
• 5:10
  is
• 5:10
  about
• 5:10
  allyship.
• 5:12
  Allyship
• 5:12
  bridges
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  gap
• 5:14
  between
• 5:14
  fear
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  flourishing.
• 5:16
  Barnabas
• 5:17
  takes
• 5:17
  Saul
• 5:18
  under
• 5:18
  his
• 5:18
  wing,
• 5:18
  introduces
• 5:19
  him
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  stands
• 5:20
  up
• 5:20
  for
• 5:20
  him.
• 5:21
  Allyship's
• 5:22
  job
• 5:23
  is
• 5:23
  not
• 5:23
  pr.
• 5:24
  It's
• 5:25
  protection,
• 5:26
  truth
• 5:26
  telling
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  connection
• 5:28
  that
• 5:28
  serves
• 5:28
  the
• 5:29
  common
• 5:29
  good.
• 5:30
  In
• 5:31
  my
• 5:31
  weekly
• 5:31
  podcast
• 5:32
  for
• 5:32
  cancer
• 5:32
  impacted
• 5:33
  folks,
• 5:33
  I
• 5:33
  see
• 5:34
  this
• 5:35
  where
• 5:35
  allies
• 5:36
  of
• 5:36
  cancer
• 5:37
  impacted
• 5:37
  people
• 5:38
  care
• 5:38
  for
• 5:38
  them,
• 5:39
  drive
• 5:39
  them
• 5:39
  to
• 5:39
  appointments,
• 5:40
  cook
• 5:40
  for
• 5:40
  them,
• 5:41
  call
• 5:41
  on
• 5:42
  them,
• 5:42
  visit
• 5:42
  with
• 5:43
  them,
• 5:43
  advocate
• 5:44
  with
• 5:44
  them
• 5:44
  with
• 5:45
  insurance
• 5:45
  companies
• 5:46
  and
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  like,
• 5:47
  and
• 5:48
  do
• 5:48
  things
• 5:48
  that
• 5:48
  they
• 5:49
  would
• 5:49
  find
• 5:50
  hard
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  do
• 5:50
  alone.
• 5:52
  That's
• 5:53
  part
• 5:53
  of
• 5:53
  what
• 5:53
  we're
• 5:53
  talking
• 5:53
  about
• 5:53
  here,
• 5:54
  working
• 5:54
  together
• 5:55
  to
• 5:56
  overcome
• 5:56
  hardships
• 5:57
  together.
• 5:58
  That's
• 5:58
  allyship
• 5:59
  in
• 5:59
  miniature.
• 6:00
  Care
• 6:01
  for
• 6:01
  others
• 6:02
  to
• 6:03
  move
• 6:03
  forward
• 6:03
  with
• 6:04
  safety.
• 6:06
  Another
• 6:06
  point
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  ponder
• 6:07
  is
• 6:07
  this
• 6:08
  courage
• 6:08
  includes
• 6:09
  wise
• 6:09
  retreat.
• 6:10
  Self
• 6:11
  preservation
• 6:11
  is
• 6:12
  not
• 6:12
  faithlessness.
• 6:14
  Twice
• 6:15
  in
• 6:15
  this
• 6:15
  passage
• 6:16
  your
• 6:16
  friends
• 6:16
  help
• 6:17
  Saul
• 6:17
  escape
• 6:18
  down
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  wall
• 6:19
  in
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  basket
• 6:19
  and
• 6:19
  then
• 6:19
  out
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  town
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  Tarsus.
• 6:21
  Progressive
• 6:22
  faith
• 6:22
  rejects
• 6:23
  martyrdom
• 6:24
  as
• 6:24
  spectacle.
• 6:26
  We
• 6:26
  value
• 6:27
  non
• 6:27
  violence,
• 6:28
  strategic
• 6:29
  withdrawal
• 6:30
  and
• 6:30
  community
• 6:31
  plans
• 6:31
  that
• 6:32
  prevent
• 6:32
  harm.
• 6:34
  Some
• 6:34
  of
• 6:34
  my
• 6:34
  favorite
• 6:35
  sports
• 6:35
  teams,
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  Colts,
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  Pacers,
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  Fever,
• 6:37
  work
• 6:38
  together
• 6:39
  and
• 6:39
  sometimes
• 6:39
  they
• 6:40
  have
• 6:40
  to
• 6:40
  play
• 6:40
  defense
• 6:40
  as
• 6:41
  well
• 6:41
  as
• 6:41
  offense
• 6:42
  in
• 6:42
  order
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  win
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  game.
• 6:45
  And
• 6:45
  then
• 6:45
  you
• 6:45
  have
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  have
• 6:45
  a
• 6:45
  timeout
• 6:46
  and
• 6:46
  halftime
• 6:46
  in
• 6:47
  order
• 6:47
  to
• 6:47
  reset
• 6:47
  things.
• 6:48
  This
• 6:49
  is
• 6:49
  part
• 6:49
  of
• 6:49
  what
• 6:49
  it
• 6:50
  means
• 6:50
  to
• 6:50
  be
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  winner,
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  have
• 6:51
  the
• 6:52
  ebb
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  flow
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  it
• 6:53
  takes
• 6:54
  courage
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  do
• 6:54
  both.
• 6:56
  Let
• 6:56
  me
• 6:56
  invite
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  think
• 6:57
  about
• 6:57
  an
• 6:57
  action
• 6:58
  step
• 6:58
  now
• 6:58
  very
• 6:59
  based
• 6:59
  on
• 6:59
  this
• 6:59
  passage
• 7:00
  here.
• 7:00
  We
• 7:00
  might
• 7:00
  call
• 7:01
  it
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  Barnabas
• 7:01
  Bridge.
• 7:03
  Identify
• 7:03
  one
• 7:04
  situation
• 7:04
  where
• 7:04
  trust
• 7:05
  is
• 7:05
  strained.
• 7:07
  It
• 7:07
  may
• 7:07
  be
• 7:07
  a
• 7:08
  friendship
• 7:08
  or
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  co
• 7:09
  worker
• 7:09
  or
• 7:10
  some
• 7:11
  situation
• 7:11
  where
• 7:12
  there
• 7:12
  is
• 7:12
  some
• 7:13
  harm
• 7:13
  done
• 7:15
  and
• 7:16
  we
• 7:16
  need
• 7:16
  to
• 7:16
  rebuild
• 7:16
  it.
• 7:18
  So
• 7:18
  do
• 7:18
  two
• 7:19
  small
• 7:19
  concrete
• 7:20
  things.
• 7:21
  First
• 7:21
  is
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  verify
• 7:22
  and
• 7:22
  protect.
• 7:23
  Connect
• 7:24
  with
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  harmed
• 7:25
  parties
• 7:26
  as
• 7:26
  a
• 7:26
  mentor
• 7:26
  or
• 7:27
  with
• 7:27
  a
• 7:27
  mentor
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  set
• 7:28
  clear
• 7:29
  boundaries,
• 7:30
  ensure
• 7:30
  safe
• 7:31
  structures
• 7:31
  are
• 7:31
  in
• 7:32
  place.
• 7:33
  And
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  second
• 7:34
  part
• 7:34
  of
• 7:34
  this
• 7:34
  is
• 7:34
  to
• 7:34
  vouch
• 7:35
  and
• 7:35
  include
• 7:35
  that
• 7:35
  is
• 7:36
  introduce
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  harmed
• 7:37
  parties
• 7:38
  to
• 7:38
  two
• 7:38
  supportive
• 7:39
  people.
• 7:39
  Invite
• 7:39
  them
• 7:40
  to
• 7:41
  some
• 7:41
  sort
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  a
• 7:42
  communal
• 7:42
  practice,
• 7:43
  maybe
• 7:43
  a
• 7:44
  meal
• 7:44
  together
• 7:44
  or
• 7:44
  working
• 7:45
  together
• 7:46
  or
• 7:46
  just
• 7:46
  a
• 7:46
  walk
• 7:46
  in
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  park.
• 7:48
  The
• 7:48
  goal
• 7:48
  here
• 7:49
  is
• 7:49
  grace
• 7:49
  with
• 7:49
  guardrails,
• 7:50
  belonging
• 7:51
  without
• 7:52
  naivete.
• 7:55
  We're
• 7:55
  going
• 7:55
  to
• 7:56
  come
• 7:56
  back
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  have
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  prayer
• 7:56
  in
• 7:56
  just
• 7:57
  a
• 7:57
  minute,
• 7:57
  but
• 7:57
  I
• 7:58
  want
• 7:58
  you
