0:00.0	Hey, it's Paul here again. Just a quick reminder that today's episode is one of our very first episodes that we recorded and released, and it's before we started using immersive storytelling techniques like sound design and music and narration.
0:13.8	Now, of course, the story itself is very powerful and very relevant to today. But if you enjoy those types of elements like sound design and narration and
0:21.5	music, then make sure to listen to some of our newer content that we've released as well. And now,
0:26.8	on to the show. It was crushing. It was scary. And I remember seeing him with lots of, lots of tubes, and lots of things hooked up to him.
0:42.5	And my first response in that raw moment was, God, what are you doing?

1:50.7	strength that they needed to ultimately thrive in excruciating circumstances.
2:09.3	Well, I'm blessed to be here with Jason and Bethany Pilchard, and we're here sitting in the heart of Denver, Colorado.
2:14.2	And Jason, you are the pastor here at Beth Eden Baptist Church.
2:17.5	Can you just tell us a little about the church and then how you came here?
2:25.6	Sure. This year, Beth Eden is celebrating its 125th anniversary. So the church was established in 1893, and the senior pastor, Jim Eiffa, who had been here for about 24 years retired, and the church called me to be their pastor,
