Speaker 2: you just catch those who might not have heard you
1:29
Speaker 2: last week, catch us up some briefly about some what
1:32
Speaker 2: you went through, and then we'll start talking about what
1:35
Speaker 2: where God's taken you.
1:36
Speaker 3: Now. Sure, last week I was sharing how I was
1:41
Speaker 3: raised in a Christian home and yet found myself because
1:45
Speaker 3: of choices, bad choices that I made in a very
1:48
Speaker 3: violent marriage. And I went from very naive little girl
1:53
Speaker 3: who was raised and such such wonderful Christian parents that
1:56
Speaker 3: I was so naive and ended up in this violent
1:59
Speaker 3: marriage I didn't even know. I had never before this,
2:02
Speaker 3: I had even shared a tender kiss with a boyfriend. Ever,
2:05
Speaker 3: I mean, I was that naive and to found myself
2:09
Speaker 3: in a marriage where I never knew anything but rape.
2:12
Speaker 3: I had never Every sexual encounter him was rape. It
2:15
Speaker 3: was not something tender or wonderful. I didn't even know
2:18
Speaker 3: a woman was supposed to have nice feelings at all.
2:22
Speaker 3: And so I went from that horrible, violent marriage where
2:26
Speaker 3: I found myself pleading for my life many times over.
2:30
Speaker 3: I know that God saved my life. And yet God,
2:34
Speaker 3: through his miraculous ways, answered my prayers when I pleaded
2:38
Speaker 3: with him to save me, and save me and save
2:40
Speaker 3: me and God did. He saved my life. He used
2:43
Speaker 3: my sister in a very special way to get me
2:45
Speaker 3: out of that horrible marriage, and he led me into
2:51
Speaker 3: a different path. And it was a series of really
2:54
Speaker 3: just learning to trust in Jesus. It was that helps
2:59
Speaker 3: him my my heart, and it was also helping, you know,
3:03
Speaker 3: God really speaking to me and sending the right people
3:06
Speaker 3: in my life to help me learn that positive thinking
3:10
Speaker 3: makes a huge difference in in healing and what God
3:14
Speaker 3: can can do if you're willing to turn your life
3:18
Speaker 3: over to Him. And so I really just am thankful
3:22
Speaker 3: that to be alive, and thankful that God has given
3:25
Speaker 3: me a ministry that I can serve him. I can
3:29
Speaker 3: tell you since my story came out, I've literally heard
3:31
Speaker 3: My book came out several years ago, and since that happened,
3:35
Speaker 3: I literally have learned heard from thousands of women around
3:38
Speaker 3: the world. I can't even tell you how many people
3:42
Speaker 3: have told me that book has saved their life. There's
3:44
Speaker 3: not a day go spy that I don't hear from
3:46
Speaker 3: somebody that has read the book and either told me
3:49
Speaker 3: that that has saved the life or it's helped them
3:52
Speaker 3: in their own spiritual walk, or that it's really helped
3:56
Speaker 3: them make a decision to have a you know, a
4:00
Speaker 3: better walk with the Lord. And so that's Uh. There's
4:03
Speaker 3: a lot of power in the healing name of Jesus.
4:06
Speaker 3: And I can tell you anytime you're tempted to tell
4:08
Speaker 3: yourself that you're you're this horrible, despicable person, you know,
4:12
Speaker 3: God wants to remind us that we are daughters of
4:15
Speaker 3: a king. And He's given me so many opportunities to
4:19
Speaker 3: help others. And I had found doctor Markham that that
4:22
Speaker 3: really the best way to help yourself is when you're
4:24
Speaker 3: really helping others, when you're thinking about others, it always
4:28
Speaker 3: is such a benefit and a blessing to yourself. I
4:32
Speaker 3: speak at a lot of police organizations, I speak at
4:35
Speaker 3: a lot of battered women's shelters, I speak to a
4:39
Speaker 3: lot of I do a lot of seminars against domestic violence,
4:43
Speaker 3: and I travel around the world doing that. I was
4:46
Speaker 3: in Africa not long ago speaking to seven thousand women
4:51
Speaker 3: and men. Uh, and I can tell you that the
4:54
Speaker 3: Queen of Zulu was there in the front row and
4:58
Speaker 3: cried like the baby as I gave testimony, and she said, please,
5:01
Speaker 3: you must come back and and share your story with
5:07
Speaker 3: with the people, the women in my country, she said,
5:09
Speaker 3: because there is so much healing and and just knowing
5:12
Speaker 3: what God can do. Because the message is if God
5:14
Speaker 3: can do that for you, he can do that for me.
5:16
Speaker 3: He can do that for us. And and really and
5:19
Speaker 3: truly that is so. I have found that God has
5:22
Speaker 3: led me into so many ways that I never would
5:24
Speaker 3: have been able to help others. He's He's allowed me
5:27
Speaker 3: the joy and the privilege of helping somebody else escape
5:31
Speaker 3: the life of pain.
5:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brenda, you know right now, there's so many bad
5:35
Speaker 2: relationships out there, and these bad relationships affect our stress, chemistry,
5:40
Speaker 2: and these people might have health problems, but if you
5:42
Speaker 2: look back a step or two, the real problem is
5:44
Speaker 2: that relationship. And if you can restore some of these
5:47
Speaker 2: good relationships. But I feel a lot of people they don't.
5:50
Speaker 2: They don't they don't speak up, and they don't know
5:53
Speaker 2: where to go.
5:53
Speaker 3: For help exactly. Well, part of the reason is is that,
5:58
Speaker 3: you know, the the mind kind of a battered woman
6:01
Speaker 3: is so beaten down that she is so she feels
6:04
Speaker 3: like she deserves you know, the I can tell you
6:07
Speaker 3: that every blow I got, I wasn't you know, I
6:09
Speaker 3: would I was like, you know, I should have. Maybe
6:12
Speaker 3: he would scream at me because I took screen beams
6:14
Speaker 3: and he wanted to tease, and I'd be you know,
6:17
Speaker 3: every blow he was, you know, kicking me in my
6:19
Speaker 3: ribs and throwing banging my head against the wall and
6:22
Speaker 3: you know, smashing my face, and I would be thinking,
6:26
Speaker 3: why didn't I fix screen beans? I should have known
6:28
Speaker 3: he wanted to tease, you know. I mean I was
6:30
Speaker 3: taking that in myself because people don't realize, you know
6:34
Speaker 3: that if you if you don't consciously think you have
6:36
Speaker 3: a better place to be or a way to get out,
6:39
Speaker 3: you you sometimes need an advocate to help you know
6:42
Speaker 3: that you can. And I, honestly I was. I wasn't
6:48
Speaker 3: able mentally to walk out of there. It was it
6:51
Speaker 3: was God using my sister to pick up the pieces
6:54
Speaker 3: and physically didn't remove me from that bad situation because
6:57
Speaker 3: I wasn't mentally able to do it. I believed I
7:01
Speaker 3: deserve the worst. And that's that's where he had brought me.
7:05
Speaker 3: Because many times women that are so abused, it's because
7:09
Speaker 3: the man has so much mind control over her that
7:11
Speaker 3: he is convinced, you know, he controls her.
7:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, And despite everything that you're going to it sounds
7:16
Speaker 2: like you know, you were reaching for God.
7:18
Speaker 4: He was reaching for you, absolutely.
7:21
Speaker 3: And you know, God is just so amazing. I have
7:25
Speaker 3: so much to praise him for, so much to thank
7:27
Speaker 3: him for when I think to how many times that
7:29
Speaker 3: I don't even know how many times that you know,
7:33
Speaker 3: I was taken out to a shooting range and just
7:35
Speaker 3: shot all around, and just the ringing in your ears
7:39
Speaker 3: from from the sound of those gun blaps are so
7:42
Speaker 3: bad that for weeks afterwards, I'd have terrible migraine headaches
7:44
Speaker 3: and I would have that ringing that would not stop
7:47
Speaker 3: day or night, you know, just in your ears. And
7:50
Speaker 3: most people that went through that should not even they
7:54
Speaker 3: should have tremendous hearing loss. I think you would, you
7:56
Speaker 3: wouldn't you think? And and yet I after I left,
8:00
Speaker 3: and I was living with my mom and dad, and
8:03
Speaker 3: I was having those horrible headaches, and I would having
8:06
Speaker 3: terrible nightmares. I'd wake up the entire house at night
8:09
Speaker 3: just screaming because I was having these terrible nightmares. And
8:12
Speaker 3: I knew, you know, many times I was being raped
8:14
Speaker 3: in the nightmare, or I was chasing because he was
8:17
Speaker 3: chasing me, he was going to kill me. You know,
8:19
Speaker 3: I'd wake up in a total sweat, just sobbing and screaming.
8:22
Speaker 3: My dad would run in there, and I'd wake up
8:24
Speaker 3: the whole house. It was every night. And finally, after
8:27
Speaker 3: about three months of this, my dad came in one night,
8:29
Speaker 3: and after checking the house to make sure that it
8:34
Speaker 3: was only a dream, he scooped me up in his
8:36
Speaker 3: arms and he said, we are going to rebuke the devil.
8:39
Speaker 3: He says, I am tired of him taking control. And
8:42
Speaker 3: he lifted me up to our heavenly Father in prayer
8:45
Speaker 3: and said, Lord, we rebuked the enemy. And he claimed
8:49
Speaker 3: Bible texts, and he said, I asked that these demons,
8:53
Speaker 3: these nightmares, he'd taken from her, and that her mind
8:56
Speaker 3: completely be restored and dedicated to you. And do you
8:59
Speaker 3: know from that moment on, I've never had another nightmare. Wow,
9:03
Speaker 3: I've never lost another night's sleep because of it. And
9:07
Speaker 3: when I went to have my hearing check, which I
9:10
Speaker 3: was supposed to schedule to go that next week, because
9:13
Speaker 3: I'd had such bad I could hardly hear anymore, and
9:16
Speaker 3: my ringing in my ears it had been so bad,
9:20
Speaker 3: my hearing was perfect. Wow, I had I mean, it
9:23
Speaker 3: was absolutely perfect and I have never had ringing in
9:26
Speaker 3: my ears since.
9:26
Speaker 2: Wow, that's something just to be praiseful. Well, we're about
9:29

10:43
Speaker 1: In his book The Ultimate Prescription, now available from Tendale
10:47
Speaker 1: House Publishers, cardiologist doctor James Markham writes, I was reading
10:52
Speaker 1: a recent poll of men who were asked who they
10:54
Speaker 1: thought was the most influential male in the world today.
10:57
Speaker 1: Number one on the list was Don Draper, a character
11:00
Speaker 1: on a television series He's not even a real person.
11:03
Speaker 1: Number two was Usain Bolton, Olympic athlete who many believe
11:06
Speaker 1: defines the true spirit of competition, and President Barack Obama
11:10
Speaker 1: slipped in is number three. This is just another example
11:13
Speaker 1: of how the media has the power to create an
11:15
Speaker 1: influential character, market him as an ideal to the world,
11:19
Speaker 1: and affect the minds of a large segment of the population.
11:23
Speaker 1: That same media is doing the same thing when it
11:26
Speaker 1: comes to telling us how to build and maintain optimum health.
11:30
Speaker 1: Doctor Markham's book The Ultimate Prescription is available from Amazon
11:33
Speaker 1: dot com and wherever quality books are sold. To learn
11:37
Speaker 1: more about health from a biblical perspective, visit Heartwiseministries dot org.
11:43
Speaker 1: I'd like to take a moment to invite you to
11:45
Speaker 1: visit the Heartwise Ministries team on the Internet. Stop by
11:48
Speaker 1: Heartwiseministries dot org and discover for yourself that optimum health
11:52
Speaker 1: is not the result of favorable genes, of the right
11:55
Speaker 1: combination of pharmaceuticals. No, optimum health is the result of
11:59
Speaker 1: making the right shows each and every moment of each
12:02
Speaker 1: and every day. If you're like me, you're probably a
12:04
Speaker 1: little confused about what the media and marketing moguls are
12:07
Speaker 1: feeding us. There are a lot of potions, pills and
12:10
Speaker 1: promises out there. Some work, some don't, and some are
12:13
Speaker 1: downright dangerous. Whom do you believe? Whom do you trust?
12:17
Speaker 1: Board certified cardiologist Doctor James Markham, founder director of Heartwise Ministries, says,
12:21
Speaker 1: there is a source of information that can be trusted
12:24
Speaker 1: and followed. That's the Bible, God's Owner's Manual as he
12:29
Speaker 1: calls it. For us. All the information you find on
12:32
Speaker 1: Heartwisemanistries dot org is information backed by biblical truth. It
12:36
Speaker 1: can be trusted because God can be trusted. So stop by,
12:40
Speaker 1: won't you? That's Heartwiseministries dot org.
12:51
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Heartwise. This program's literally heard all over
12:54
Speaker 2: the world, from the United States to Australia to our
12:57
Speaker 2: friends in Guam and the Philippines and now going over
13:01
Speaker 2: to France and the Bahamas, and we want to thank
13:04
Speaker 2: you for joining in in what we do at Hartwise.
13:06
Speaker 2: We let people know there's a place for modern medicine.
13:09
Speaker 2: We also I treat modern medicine as a cardiology, so
13:12
Speaker 2: I mainly treat symptoms. There's a place and there's a
13:15
Speaker 2: place for that. There's a place for lifestyle, living healthy.
13:18
Speaker 2: But at the top of the healing pyramids is that
13:21
Speaker 2: relationship with God. And that's what Brenda's been talking about today.
13:24
Speaker 2: We're here with Brenda while she's authored Battered to Blessed,
13:29
Speaker 2: and she's now no longer battered, she's in the blessed stage. Now.
13:33
Speaker 2: She has a website that reaches the whole world. That's
13:36
Speaker 2: Brenda Walsh dot com. We want you to go to
13:39
Speaker 2: her website. But more than that, there might be someone
13:42
Speaker 2: out there that's experiencing some of the same problems that
13:45
Speaker 2: Brenda has.
13:46
Speaker 3: Well.
13:46
Speaker 2: I want to tell you that when the mind is
13:48
Speaker 2: being stressed and battered and hurt from whatever thing, whether
13:51
Speaker 2: it's be fear or anger or abuse, there's chemical reactions
13:55
Speaker 2: that could damage your body. So if you're someone out
13:58
Speaker 2: there that's undergoing these things get help, and Brenda tell
14:02
Speaker 2: us some of the ways that you've been through the
14:04
Speaker 2: batter part. Now you're blessing others, you're serving as a
14:07
Speaker 2: chemical treatment. What are some of the things you're doing
14:10
Speaker 2: now to help change women's chemistry and reaching out to
14:13
Speaker 2: the world and letting them know about God's love.
14:17
Speaker 3: Well, I'm really blessed to be a part of the
14:19
Speaker 3: Angels Broadcasting Network. I host and produce a program there
14:24
Speaker 3: that airs every day called Kid's Time, where I'm reaching
14:26
Speaker 3: out to children and all over the world. And I
14:30
Speaker 3: also have many opportunities to witness to women. I travel
14:35
Speaker 3: all over to different countries and I have seminars and
14:39
Speaker 3: I really talk about escaping domestic violence and helping women
14:44
Speaker 3: understand that it's not their fault. But no one deserves
14:48
Speaker 3: to get beaten abused, And you don't even have to
14:51
Speaker 3: have the severity of you know, some people say, well,
14:55
Speaker 3: I wasn't abused like you were. You know, every one
14:58
Speaker 3: of us goes through our own type of everyone's life
15:02
Speaker 3: is different. We have different amounts of hurts and pains
15:05
Speaker 3: and uh, our hearts hurt differently. But it doesn't matter
15:10
Speaker 3: if it's physical abuse or emotional abuse, it's still abuse,
15:13
Speaker 3: and it's still effect. Sometimes emotional abuse alone is equally
15:19
Speaker 3: as bad. You know, it's it's uh. You know, anytime
15:22
Speaker 3: someone convinces you in your mind that you're not worthy
15:26
Speaker 3: to live, that's pretty serious. And so I have an
15:30
Speaker 3: opportunity to not just to my books to reach women,
15:34
Speaker 3: but also to speak and I do women's uh Prairie
15:37
Speaker 3: treats and women's ministries retreats, and and I literally have
15:40
Speaker 3: traveled all over the world and had a chance. And
15:42
Speaker 3: one thing that I then, I know that those through
15:46
Speaker 3: you know, all nationalities, it doesn't matter. Pain is pain,
15:50
Speaker 3: doctor Markham, it doesn't matter what nationality you are. Our
15:53
Speaker 3: heart's all, you know, hurt the same way and uh
15:57
Speaker 3: and and they also heal the same way. And I
16:00
Speaker 3: can tell you that it's God's given me a message
16:03
Speaker 3: of hope because He in these He really and truly.
16:07
Speaker 3: It's just loving them to Jesus to share with them
16:10
Speaker 3: that they are worthy, to let him know how much
16:12
Speaker 3: God loves them when they feel like nobody else does.
16:16
Speaker 3: And it's not in any woman's best interest to stay
16:21
Speaker 3: in a marriage where she's been physically beaten down. But
16:25
Speaker 3: you know, I help a lot of women that you know,
16:28
Speaker 3: feel like they have no one to let them know
16:31
Speaker 3: and that that they do have someone because God is
16:35
Speaker 3: never He's a he's a prayer way, and that there
16:38
Speaker 3: is hope, there is releaef, there is lighteth into the
16:42
Speaker 3: tunnel when so many women when they're in just the situations,
16:46
Speaker 3: can't see a light at into the tunnel.
16:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so many people when they're in a bad situation,
16:52
Speaker 2: they pick bad coping mechanisms, bad ways to escape, whether
16:56
Speaker 2: it be drugs or alcohol or bad habits. What are
16:59
Speaker 2: some ways that you would recommend if of woman or
17:03
Speaker 2: anyone's in an abusive situation, what are some things that
17:06
Speaker 2: you can do to help them maybe pull through the situation.
17:09
Speaker 2: You've talked about serving God, you've talked about that relationship,
17:13
Speaker 2: you've talked about serving others. But what are some other
17:15
Speaker 2: coping mechanisms and healthy ways that might help someone that's
17:18
Speaker 2: listening out there today?
17:21
Speaker 3: Well, if you're are you speaking somebody that's.
17:25
Speaker 4: Out of the situation and someone that's someone that's in
17:29
Speaker 4: that situation wanting to now, Yeah, that's in a bad situation,
17:33
Speaker 4: they're looking for some way to help themselves.
17:35
Speaker 2: That they don't know how to cope.
17:37
Speaker 3: Well, one of the things I do is I asked
17:39
Speaker 3: them to find someone they trust, whether that's their pastor
17:42
Speaker 3: whether that's their their neighbor, whether that's a family member
17:45
Speaker 3: that they trust that they can go to and say, look,
17:47
Speaker 3: I need help out of the situation. And go to
17:51
Speaker 3: the person that you know can can be there for you.
17:55
Speaker 3: And sometimes it is just you know, a pastor or
17:58
Speaker 3: a pastor's wife, or a name or anyone, a best friend,
18:01
Speaker 3: somebody that you can actually talk to and say, get
18:04
Speaker 3: me help. And the other thing when you are so
18:08
Speaker 3: your world is so dark. I have found this to
18:11
Speaker 3: be true that music, and you know, singing praises to
18:14
Speaker 3: God is always a weapon against discouragement. It is very
18:18
Speaker 3: hard to be depressed when you're listening to uplifting songs
18:23
Speaker 3: about God. And so I know that there are times
18:25
Speaker 3: when I was fighting discouragement and that enemy wants to
18:28
Speaker 3: just rub my past in my face and see all
18:31
Speaker 3: my failures and remind me what a horrible person I am.
18:34
Speaker 3: You know, when you put on that music and you
18:36
Speaker 3: are singing, actually singing praises, doesn't matter if you have
18:39
Speaker 3: a good voice or not. You just sing right along
18:41
Speaker 3: those praises to Jesus and it will lift you out
18:44
Speaker 3: of that. You can't be discouraged when you're singing praises
18:47
Speaker 3: to Jesus. So that's another way to help reading your
18:50
Speaker 3: Bible is the way out. Spend time with the Lord
18:53
Speaker 3: on your knees and don't do all the talking. Be
18:55
Speaker 3: quiet sometimes and listen. And the more you spend on
19:00
Speaker 3: time with the Lord, the more you'll know his voice.
19:02
Speaker 3: I get people saying that to me all the time.
19:03
Speaker 3: How do I know if God's talking to me? Well,
19:06
Speaker 3: I'll say it's it's like if you have someone that
19:09
Speaker 3: calls you once or twice a month, you're not going
19:12
Speaker 3: to recognize their voice probably, But if you have someone
19:14
Speaker 3: that calls you every day voice, you're going to say, oh, okay,
19:19
Speaker 3: I know that, and it's very much yeah exactly. And
19:22
Speaker 3: so when you the more time you spend with the Lord,
19:25
Speaker 3: the more you're going to know his voice. And I
19:27
Speaker 3: have been praying recently too that God would make me
19:30
Speaker 3: instant to his will, that I not second gets what
19:33
Speaker 3: he says. And so I've got I've had so many
19:35
Speaker 3: wonderful opportunities to reach out Minister to somebody just because
19:40
Speaker 3: I'm willing to listen to that, to that inner voice,
19:43
Speaker 3: that the Holy Spirit impressing me to reach out to someone.
19:46
Speaker 3: And the other day I was traveling and sitting next
19:49
Speaker 3: to somebody and I just felt impressed to to talk
19:54
Speaker 3: to the woman and I just said, I just wanted
19:55
Speaker 3: to let you know that how much Jesus loves you.
19:59
Speaker 3: And I said, you look like you need a friend,
20:01
Speaker 3: and I wanted to know I'm here for you. And
20:02
Speaker 3: she just looked up. And when she looked up, her
20:05
Speaker 3: eyes all black and blue. She was all and it
20:07
Speaker 3: was and I was like, Hi, she either she's in
20:10
Speaker 3: a bad accident or a bad relationship. And she poured
20:13
Speaker 3: her heart up to me. I was able to pray
20:15
Speaker 3: with her. She was in a terrible relationship and she
20:18
Speaker 3: had managed to run, but now she was second getting it.
20:21
Speaker 3: Should she go back? Should she go? And I was
20:23
Speaker 3: right there, right where God placed me at a time
20:26
Speaker 3: to help her and give her the courage she needed
20:28
Speaker 3: to escape that bad situation. And it's amazing you. I
20:33
Speaker 3: walked out of there, thank Him, Thank you Jeeves for
20:35
Speaker 3: putting me at the right place at the right time.
20:38
Speaker 3: And God will do that for all of us. And
20:40
Speaker 3: when you're reaching out to others and you're helping somebody else,
20:43
Speaker 3: it's hard to be discourage too. You know, sometimes your
20:46
Speaker 3: own problems don't seem as bad when you see somebody
20:48
Speaker 3: else's and they're just knowing that God used you to
20:51
Speaker 3: help them. It's such a spiritual high.
20:53
Speaker 2: Brenda, we've got a few minutes left you. What kind
20:56
Speaker 2: of projects are you working on right now that we
20:58
Speaker 2: might tell our listeners.
21:01
Speaker 3: Well, I've written several books. As you know, I'm a
21:03
Speaker 3: Christian author and speaker, and I've written several books besides
21:07
Speaker 3: that or to Bless, I've written a book that's kind
21:09
Speaker 3: of a sequel called Passionate Prayer and really talks about
21:13
Speaker 3: it's my own personal answer to prayer stories, my own
21:16
Speaker 3: personal witnessing stories. And i also have a book that
21:21
Speaker 3: I really encourage people when they pray to pray claiming
21:25
Speaker 3: Bible promises, and it's a small little book that to
21:28
Speaker 3: help you to do that. It's called Passionate for Promises.
21:31
Speaker 3: And I'm currently working on a devotional book that is
21:35
Speaker 3: different than a lot of other devotional books where its
21:37
Speaker 3: topic driven instead of you open the page and you
21:41
Speaker 3: get the devotion whatever is there for the day. You
21:43
Speaker 3: can look up what you need for that day for
21:45
Speaker 3: your devotion. So it's topic driven and so I'm busy,
21:48
Speaker 3: hard at work at that. I just released a series
21:50
Speaker 3: of bedtime story books for children, a five volume series,
21:54
Speaker 3: and I'm working on the next five volumes. There'll be
21:57
Speaker 3: a ten volume set, and they're just a non doctrine
22:00
Speaker 3: character building stories for children. I really want kids to know.
22:03
Speaker 3: We can't tell kids enough how much Jesus loves them, right,
22:07
Speaker 3: and we really want them still his characteristics in them.
22:10
Speaker 2: You know.
22:10
Speaker 3: It's teaching our kids to be honest and to be kind,
22:13
Speaker 3: to be respectful of others, and also, you know, to
22:16
Speaker 3: help your kids have good self esteem. I think one
22:19
Speaker 3: of the best gifts we can give our children is
22:21
Speaker 3: help them have a really healthy self esteem. Absolute, And
22:25
Speaker 3: I think that's what we could do for each one
22:27
Speaker 3: of us, you know. And when we lift each other up,
22:30
Speaker 3: when we affirm each other, when we learn to love
22:33
Speaker 3: each other more and judge each other less, wouldn't this
22:36
Speaker 3: world be a better place?
22:37
Speaker 2: Absolutely? And we're sort of running out of time today.
22:40
Speaker 2: But at the heart of health is love. And Brenda's
22:43
Speaker 2: been talking about this. Doctor Walsh the doctor that heals
