  Speaker 1: of the strongest forms of encouragement for others. You know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: for my season, says my older believers. The journey of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: faith is not just about where you are now. It's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: about everything God has already brought you through. There were

  Speaker 1: think you would recover from, and prayers that took years
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to answer. Yet here you are, still standing, still believing,
