0:08.5	Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn.
0:19.0	This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of
0:23.5	lives. I'm your host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, everyone, this is going to be a fun topic today. I'm excited
0:32.6	to talk about spirituality and I'll preface it with a few things here in just a minute looking to see if I
0:40.0	have any announcements. There's just a bunch of stuff coming up. You know, July, we're kind of taking
