  through

• 1:03
  from

  the

  Message
• 1:04
  I
• 1:05
  thank

  God

  through

  Jesus
• 1:06
  for
• 1:06
  every
• 1:07
  one
• 1:07
  of

  you.
• 1:08
  That's
• 1:08
  first.
• 1:09
  People
• 1:09
  everywhere
• 1:10
  keep

  telling

  me

  about

  I
• 1:14
  hear
• 1:14
  them
• 1:14
  I
• 1:15
  thank
• 1:15
  him
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  God
• 1:17
  whom
• 1:17
  I
• 1:17
  so
• 1:18
  love
• 1:18
  to

  worship

  and
• 1:19
  serve

  by

  spreading

  the
• 1:20
  good
• 1:20
  news
• 1:21
  of
• 1:21
  His
• 1:21
  Son.
• 1:22
  The
• 1:22
  Message
• 1:24
  knows
• 1:25
  that
• 1:25
  every
• 1:25
  time
• 1:26
  I
• 1:26
  think
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  you
• 1:26
  in
• 1:26
  my
• 1:27
  prayers,
• 1:27
  which
• 1:27
  is
• 1:27
  practically
• 1:28
  all
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  time,
• 1:30
  I
• 1:30
  ask
• 1:30
  him
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  clear
• 1:31
  the
• 1:31
  way
• 1:31
  for
• 1:31
  me
• 1:31
  to
• 1:31
  come
• 1:32
  and
• 1:32
  see
• 1:32
  you.
• 1:34
  The
• 1:34
  longer
• 1:34
  this
• 1:34
  waiting
• 1:35
  goes
• 1:35
  on,
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  deeper
• 1:36
  is
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  ache.
• 1:37
  I
• 1:38
  so
• 1:38
  want
• 1:38
  to
• 1:38
  be
• 1:38
  there
• 1:39
  to
• 1:39
  deliver
• 1:39
  God's
• 1:40
  gift
• 1:40
  in
• 1:40
  person
• 1:41
  and
• 1:42
  watch
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  grow
• 1:43
  stronger
• 1:43
  right
• 1:43
  before
• 1:44
  my
• 1:44
  eyes.
• 1:45
  But
• 1:46
  don't
• 1:46
  think
• 1:46
  I'm
• 1:46
  not
• 1:47
  expecting
• 1:47
  to
• 1:47
  get
• 1:48
  something
• 1:48
  out
• 1:48
  of
• 1:48
  this
• 1:48
  too.
• 1:49
  You
• 1:50
  have
• 1:50
  as
• 1:50
  much
• 1:50
  to
• 1:50
  give
• 1:51
  me
• 1:52
  as
• 1:52
  I
• 1:52
  do
• 1:52
  you.
• 1:54
  Please
• 1:54
  don't
• 1:55
  misinterpret
• 1:56
  my
• 1:56
  failure
• 1:57
  to
• 1:57
  visit
• 1:57
  you
• 1:57
  friends.
• 1:58
  You
• 1:59
  have
• 1:59
  no
• 1:59
  idea
• 2:00
  how
• 2:00
  many
• 2:00
  times
• 2:00
  I've
• 2:00
  made
• 2:01
  plans
• 2:01
  for
• 2:01
  Rome.
• 2:03
  I
• 2:03
  have
• 2:03
  been
• 2:03
  determined
• 2:04
  to
• 2:04
  get
• 2:04
  some
• 2:04
  personal
• 2:05
  enjoyment
• 2:05
  out
• 2:06
  of
• 2:06
  God's
• 2:06
  work
• 2:06
  among
• 2:07
  you,
• 2:07
  as
• 2:08
  I
• 2:08
  have
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  so
• 2:08
  many
• 2:09
  other
• 2:09
  non
• 2:09
  Jewish
• 2:10
  towns
• 2:10
  and
• 2:10
  communities.
• 2:12
  But
• 2:12
  something
• 2:12
  has
• 2:13
  always
• 2:13
  come
• 2:13
  up
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  prevented
• 2:14
  it.
• 2:16
  Everyone
• 2:16
  I
• 2:16
  meet,
• 2:17
  it
• 2:17
  matters
• 2:18
  little.
• 2:18
  Whether
• 2:18
  they're
• 2:18
  mannered
• 2:19
  or
• 2:19
  rude,
• 2:20
  smart
• 2:20
  or
• 2:20
  simple
• 2:21
  deepens
• 2:22
  my
• 2:22
  sense
• 2:22
  of
• 2:23
  interdependence
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  obligation.
• 2:26
  And
• 2:26
  that's
• 2:26
  why
• 2:26
  I
• 2:27
  can't
• 2:27
  wait
• 2:27
  to
• 2:28
  get
• 2:28
  to
• 2:28
  you
• 2:28
  in
• 2:28
  Rome.
• 2:29
  Preaching
• 2:30
  this
• 2:30
  wonderful
• 2:30
  good
• 2:30
  news
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  God.
• 2:32
  It's
• 2:32
  news
• 2:33
  that
• 2:33
  I'm
• 2:33
  most
• 2:33
  proud
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  proclaim
• 2:35
  this
• 2:35
  extraordinary
• 2:36
  message
• 2:36
  of
• 2:36
  God's
• 2:37
  powerful
• 2:37
  plan
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  rescue
• 2:38
  everyone
• 2:38
  who
• 2:38
  trusts
• 2:39
  him,
• 2:40
  starting
• 2:40
  with
• 2:40
  Jews
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  then
• 2:41
  ride
• 2:41
  on
• 2:41
  and
• 2:42
  onto
• 2:42
  everybody
• 2:42
  else.
• 2:44
  God's
• 2:44
  way
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  putting
• 2:44
  people
• 2:45
  right
• 2:45
  shows
• 2:45
  up
• 2:46
  in
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  acts
• 2:46
  of
• 2:46
  faith,
• 2:47
  confirming
• 2:47
  what
• 2:48
  Scripture
• 2:48
  has
• 2:48
  Said
• 2:49
  all
• 2:49
  along,
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  person
• 2:50
  in
• 2:51
  right
• 2:51
  standing
• 2:52
  before
• 2:52
  God
• 2:53
  by
• 2:53
  trusting
• 2:53
  him
• 2:54
  really
• 2:55
  lives
• 2:57
  well.
• 2:57
  My
• 2:58
  friend,
• 2:58
  thank
• 2:58
  you
• 2:58
  for
• 2:58
  making
• 2:58
  space
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  your
• 2:59
  life
• 2:59
  for
• 3:00
  us
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  have
• 3:00
  a
• 3:00
  conversation
• 3:01
  about
• 3:01
  this
• 3:02
  scripture
• 3:02
  from
• 3:02
  Romans
• 3:03
  chapter
• 3:03
  one.
• 3:04
  And
• 3:04
  Paul
• 3:05
  really
• 3:05
  sounds
• 3:05
  like
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  pastor
• 3:06
  here.
• 3:06
  I
• 3:07
  believe
• 3:07
  he's
• 3:08
  full
• 3:08
  of
• 3:08
  heart,
• 3:08
  he's
• 3:08
  full
• 3:09
  of
• 3:09
  gratitude.
• 3:10
  But
• 3:10
  he
• 3:10
  aches
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  be
• 3:11
  with
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  congregation,
• 3:12
  the
• 3:13
  church
• 3:13
  in
• 3:13
  Rome.
• 3:14
  And
• 3:14
  he's
• 3:14
  convinced
• 3:15
  the
• 3:15
  good
• 3:15
  news
• 3:15
  is
• 3:15
  for
• 3:16
  everyone,
• 3:16
  that's
• 3:17
  Jews
• 3:17
  and
• 3:18
  Gentiles,
• 3:18
  everybody
• 3:19
  else.
• 3:19
  And
• 3:20
  he
• 3:20
  believes
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  gospel
• 3:21
  doesn't
• 3:21
  just
• 3:21
  inform
• 3:22
  us,
• 3:22
  it
• 3:23
  rescues
• 3:23
  us
• 3:24
  and
• 3:24
  puts
• 3:24
  us
• 3:25
  right
• 3:26
  so
• 3:26
  we
• 3:26
  can
• 3:26
  really
• 3:27
  live.
• 3:28
  So
• 3:29
  let's
• 3:29
  consider
• 3:31
  some
• 3:31
  points
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  ponder
• 3:32
  some
• 3:32
  teaching
• 3:32
  points
• 3:32
  about
• 3:33
  this
• 3:33
  scripture.
• 3:34
  Point
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  ponder.
• 3:35
  Number
• 3:35
  one.
• 3:37
  Mutuality
• 3:38
  is
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  shape
• 3:38
  of
• 3:38
  ministry.
• 3:40
  Paul
• 3:40
  says,
• 3:41
  you
• 3:41
  have
• 3:42
  as
• 3:42
  much
• 3:42
  to
• 3:42
  give
• 3:42
  me
• 3:43
  as
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  do
• 3:43
  you.
• 3:44
  And
• 3:45
  that
• 3:45
  line
• 3:45
  pushes
• 3:46
  back
• 3:46
  against
• 3:47
  celebrity,
• 3:48
  spirituality
• 3:48
  and
• 3:49
  top
• 3:49
  down
• 3:49
  religion.
• 3:51
  Progressive
• 3:52
  faith
• 3:52
  sees
• 3:53
  church
• 3:54
  as
• 3:54
  an
• 3:54
  interconnected
• 3:55
  web,
• 3:55
  not
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  pyramid.
• 3:57
  Wisdom
• 3:57
  flows
• 3:58
  both
• 3:59
  directions.
• 4:00
  The
• 4:00
  teacher
• 4:01
  learns,
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  student
• 4:02
  teaches,
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  caregiver
• 4:04
  is
• 4:04
  cared
• 4:05
  for.
• 4:06
  So
• 4:06
  in
• 4:06
  my
• 4:06
  weekly
• 4:07
  podcast
• 4:07
  with
• 4:09
  people
• 4:09
  impacted
• 4:10
  by
• 4:10
  cancer,
• 4:11
  we
• 4:11
  really
• 4:12
  focus
• 4:12
  on
• 4:12
  hope
• 4:13
  and
• 4:13
  humor.
• 4:14
  And
• 4:14
  I've
• 4:14
  learned
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  mutuality
• 4:15
  is
• 4:16
  healing.
• 4:17
  So
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  person
• 4:17
  in
• 4:18
  treatment
• 4:18
  brings
• 4:19
  courage.
• 4:19
  That
• 4:19
  shapes
• 4:20
  me,
• 4:20
  for
• 4:20
  instance,
• 4:21
  or
• 4:22
  maybe
• 4:22
  I
• 4:22
  can
• 4:22
  say
• 4:23
  a
• 4:23
  joke
• 4:24
  or
• 4:24
  do
• 4:24
  something
• 4:24
  funny
• 4:25
  that
• 4:25
  brings
• 4:25
  them
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  little
• 4:25
  breath
• 4:26
  of
• 4:26
  life
• 4:26
  and
• 4:26
  we
• 4:26
  hold
• 4:26
  each
• 4:27
  other
• 4:27
  up.
• 4:28
  My
• 4:28
  wife
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  I
• 4:29
  have
• 4:29
  this
• 4:29
  type
• 4:29
  of
• 4:29
  relationship.
• 4:30
  We've
• 4:30
  been
• 4:30
  married
• 4:30
  for
• 4:30
  34
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  half
• 4:31
  years
• 4:33
  and
• 4:33
  she's
• 4:33
  incredible.
• 4:34
  We've
• 4:35
  raised
• 4:35
  three
• 4:36
  adult
• 4:36
  children
• 4:36
  and
• 4:37
  now
• 4:37
  got
• 4:37
  grandchildren.
• 4:39
  And
• 4:40
  it's
• 4:40
  this
• 4:40
  mutuality,
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  interconnectedness
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  makes
• 4:42
  it
• 4:42
  all
• 4:42
  work.
• 4:43
  We
• 4:43
  go
• 4:44
  stronger
• 4:44
  together.
• 4:46
  So
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  this
• 4:46
  case,
• 4:46
  understand
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  gospel
• 4:47
  is
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  we,
• 4:49
  not
• 4:50
  a
• 4:50
  me.
• 4:51
  Point
• 4:52
  to
• 4:52
  ponder
• 4:52
  Number
• 4:52
  two.
• 4:54
  The
• 4:54
  good
• 4:54
  news
• 4:55
  moves
• 4:56
  across
• 4:57
  differences
• 4:58
  with
• 4:59
  dignity.
• 5:01
  Paul
• 5:01
  says
• 5:01
  to
• 5:02
  everyone
• 5:02
  he
• 5:02
  meets.
• 5:03
  Mannered
• 5:03
  or
• 5:03
  rude.
• 5:05
  Interesting
• 5:05
  turn
• 5:05
  of
• 5:05
  a
• 5:06
  phrase,
• 5:06
  isn't
• 5:06
  it?
• 5:06
  Mannered
• 5:07
  or
• 5:07
  rude,
• 5:08
  smart
• 5:08
  or
• 5:08
  simple,
• 5:09
  deepens
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  sense
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  interdependence
• 5:12
  and
• 5:12
  obligation.
• 5:13
  That's
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  progressive
• 5:15
  conviction
• 5:15
  there.
• 5:16
  Differences
• 5:17
  aren't
• 5:17
  barriers
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  love,
• 5:18
  they're
• 5:18
  invitations
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  justice.
• 5:22
  The
• 5:22
  gospel
• 5:22
  looks
• 5:23
  like
• 5:23
  building
• 5:23
  bridges
• 5:24
  across
• 5:25
  religion,
• 5:25
  across
• 5:26
  cultures,
• 5:26
  across
• 5:27
  class,
• 5:28
  across
• 5:29
  languages,
• 5:29
  across
• 5:30
  health
• 5:30
  status
• 5:32
  so
• 5:33
  more
• 5:33
  people
• 5:33
  can
• 5:34
  really
• 5:35
  live.
• 5:37
  In
• 5:38
  practical
• 5:38
  terms,
• 5:38
  this
• 5:39
  means
• 5:39
  resist
• 5:39
  the
• 5:40
  gatekeeping,
• 5:41
  rejecting
• 5:42
  anti
• 5:42
  Semitism,
• 5:43
  honoring.
• 5:46
  Honoring
• 5:46
  all
• 5:46
  people
• 5:47
  from
• 5:47
  whatever
• 5:47
  background
• 5:48
  they
• 5:48
  have,
• 5:49
  honoring
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  Jewish
• 5:50
  roots
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  our
• 5:50
  faith
• 5:51
  and
• 5:52
  centering
• 5:52
  on
• 5:53
  people
• 5:53
  in
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  margins.
• 5:55
  Yes,
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  includes
• 5:56
  immigrants.
• 5:58
  If
• 5:58
  the,

  quote,

• 6:00
  plan
• 6:01

  those
• 6:04
  with

  the

  access,
• 6:06
  patients
• 6:07
  stuck

  in

  insurance
• 6:08
  battles,
• 6:08
  families
• 6:09
  juggling
• 6:09
  bills
• 6:10
  and
• 6:11
  appointments,
• 6:12
  then
• 6:12
  we
• 6:12
  keep
• 6:13
  moving
• 6:13
  into
• 6:13
  grace.
• 6:14
  That
• 6:14
  gets
• 6:14
  there.
• 6:15
  Interdependence
• 6:16
  isn't
• 6:16
  sentiment,
• 6:17
  it's
• 6:17
  solidarity.
• 6:20
  Point

  upon

  or

  Trust

• 6:23
  a

  life
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  is
• 6:24
  public
• 6:25
  and
• 6:25
  embodied.
• 6:26
  The
• 6:27
  scripture
• 6:27
  says
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  person
• 6:28
  in

  right
• 6:29
  standing

  God
• 6:30
  by
• 6:30
  trusting
• 6:30
  him
• 6:30
  really
• 6:31
  lives.
• 6:32
  Trust
• 6:32
  is
• 6:32
  not
• 6:33
  passive.
• 6:33
  It's
• 6:33
  embodied.
• 6:34
  Progressive

  and
• 6:42
  communities
• 6:42
  where
• 6:42
  everybody
• 6:43
  matters.
• 6:44
  And
• 6:44
  yes,
• 6:44
  trust
• 6:45
  can
• 6:45
  be
• 6:45
  ordinary
• 6:46
  and

  joyful.
• 6:47
  When
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  cheer
• 6:47
  on
• 6:48
  my
• 6:48
  teams,
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  Colts
• 6:48
  and
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  Pacers,
• 6:49
  the

  fever,
• 6:50
  IU
• 6:51
  hoops
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  football,
• 6:52
  it's
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  stubborn
• 6:53
  hope
• 6:53
  that
• 6:53
  even
• 6:54
  when
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  score
• 6:54
  isn't
• 6:55
  pretty,
• 6:55
  that
• 6:56
  there's
• 6:56
  a
• 6:56
  kind
• 6:56
  of
• 6:57
  loyalty
• 6:57
  reminds
• 6:58
  me
• 6:58
  that
• 6:58
  faith
• 6:59
  is
• 6:59
  tenacious
• 7:00
  and
• 7:00
  we
• 7:00
  believe
• 7:01
  that
• 7:02
  joy
• 7:02
  will
• 7:02
  come.
• 7:03
  We
• 7:04
  just
• 7:04
  keep
• 7:04
  showing
• 7:05
  up.
• 7:05
  We
• 7:06
  take
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  next
• 7:06
  small
• 7:07
  steps
• 7:07
  that
• 7:08
  help
• 7:08
  someone
• 7:08
  live
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  little
• 7:08
  bit
• 7:09
  more
• 7:09
  fully.
• 7:10
  So
• 7:11
  what's
• 7:11
  next?
• 7:11
  What's
• 7:12
  our
• 7:12
  action
• 7:12
  step?
• 7:14
  Practice
• 7:15
  mutuality
• 7:16
  across
• 7:16
  differences.
• 7:17
  Small,
• 7:18
  concrete
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  soon
• 7:20
  Identify
• 7:21
  one
• 7:21
  person
• 7:22
  or
• 7:22
  group
• 7:22
  different
• 7:22
  from
• 7:23
  you.
• 7:24
  Maybe
• 7:24
  it's
• 7:24
  a
• 7:24
  local
• 7:24
  synagogue
• 7:25
  or
• 7:25
  mosque.
• 7:27
  Or
• 7:27
  maybe
• 7:27
  it's
• 7:28
  some
• 7:28
  group
• 7:28
  different
• 7:29
  than
• 7:29
  you
• 7:30
  within
• 7:30
  Christianity,
• 7:31
  for
• 7:31
  instance.
• 7:32
  Or
• 7:32
  maybe
• 7:33
  it's
• 7:33
  a
• 7:33
  different
• 7:33
  cultural
• 7:34
  language
• 7:34
  group.
• 7:36
  And
• 7:36
  identify
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  person
• 7:38
  within
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  group
• 7:38
  that
• 7:39
  you
• 7:39
  can
• 7:39
  have
• 7:39
  some
• 7:39
  direct
• 7:40
  connection
• 7:40
  with
• 7:41
  and
• 7:42
  serve
• 7:42
  them
• 7:43
  through
• 7:43
  some
• 7:43
  mutual
• 7:43
  aid
• 7:44
  network,
• 7:45
  a
• 7:45
  support
• 7:45
  system.
• 7:46
  Or
• 7:47
  maybe
• 7:47
  it's
• 7:47
  just
• 7:47
  a
• 7:47
  neighbor
• 7:48
  with
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  little
• 7:48
  different
• 7:48
  background
• 7:49
  than
• 7:49
  you.
• 7:51
  So
• 7:51
  here's
• 7:51
  what
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  can
• 7:51
  do.
• 7:52
  Offer
• 7:52
  and
• 7:52
  receive.
• 7:53
  Bring
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  central,
• 7:54
  simple
• 7:55
  contribution
• 7:55
  to
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  person.
• 7:57
  You
• 7:57
  know,
• 7:57
  I
• 7:57
  note
• 7:59
  maybe
• 7:59
  a
• 7:59
  cup
• 8:00
  of
• 8:00
  coffee
• 8:01
  or
• 8:01
  a
• 8:01
  donation
• 8:02
  to
• 8:02
  a
• 8:02
  cause
• 8:02
  that
• 8:03
  they
• 8:03
  believe
• 8:03
  in
• 8:04
  and
• 8:04
  ask
• 8:04
  what
• 8:05
  wisdom
• 8:05
  do
• 8:05
  you
• 8:06
  carry
• 8:06
  that
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  need?
• 8:08
  Let
• 8:08
  it
• 8:08
  be
• 8:08
  a
• 8:08
  two
• 8:08
  way
• 8:09
  street.
• 8:09
  Keep
• 8:10
  it
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10
  a
• 8:10
  bone,
• 8:11
  but
• 8:11
  do
• 8:11
  it.
• 8:12
  Do
• 8:12
  it
• 8:12
  within
• 8:13
  72
• 8:13
  hours.
• 8:14
  Mutuality
• 8:15
  grows
• 8:15
  in
• 8:16
  small
• 8:16
  shared
• 8:17
  steps.
• 8:19
  Here's
• 8:20
  a
• 8:20
  word
• 8:20
  for
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  weary.
• 8:21
  If
• 8:22
  you
• 8:22
  feel
• 8:22
  delayed
• 8:22
  like
• 8:23
  Paul
• 8:23
  plans
• 8:23
  interrupted,
• 8:24
  energy
• 8:24
  thin.
• 8:26
  But
• 8:26
  you're
• 8:27
  still
• 8:27
  in
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  story.
• 8:29
  Ache
• 8:29
  is
• 8:30
  what
• 8:30
  Paul
• 8:30
  says,
• 8:31
  and
• 8:32
  ache
• 8:32
  is
• 8:32
  not
• 8:33
  absence.
• 8:34
  So
• 8:34
  God's
• 8:35
  grace
• 8:35
  can
• 8:35
  travel
• 8:36
  the
• 8:36
  distance
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  meet
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  where
• 8:37
  you
• 8:37
  are,
• 8:38
  whether
• 8:38
  it's
• 8:38
  a
• 8:39
  hospital
• 8:39
  room,
• 8:39
  a
• 8:39
  kitchen
• 8:40
  table
• 8:41
  on
• 8:41
  a
• 8:41
  trail,
• 8:42
  or
• 8:42
  maybe
• 8:43
  even
• 8:43
  a
• 8:43
  seat
• 8:43
  where
• 8:43
  you
• 8:43
  watch
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  ball
• 8:44
  game.
• 8:46
  Think
• 8:46
  about
• 8:47
  it.
• 8:48
  All
• 8:48
  right,
• 8:48
  we're
• 8:48
  going
• 8:48
  to
• 8:48
  come

  back
• 8:49
  and
• 8:49
  have
• 8:49
  a

  prayer
• 8:49
  together.
• 8:50
  Before
• 8:50
  we
• 8:50
  do,
• 8:51
  I
• 8:51
  just
• 8:51
  want
