| 0:00.0 | If you've ever felt like you're failing at being a disciple of Jesus, or even if you've just |
| 0:05.1 | felt discouraged after making mistakes, today's episode is just for you. |
| 0:28.8 | Okay, this is probably the 17th time we've tried to start this episode. |
| 0:31.1 | We're almost about to bag it. |
| 0:36.6 | Neil said that we should just do a 30-minute flute solo instead, but it's okay. |
| 0:38.8 | We will spare you the flute solo. We will spare you the flute solo. |
| 0:40.2 | We'll spare you the flute solo. |
| 0:46.2 | And I also will just go ahead and start off and try to start off with saying what I need to say, |
| 0:58.9 | which is I made a mistake this week and hurt someone's feelings and had to reach out to a couple of people to apologize and apologized right on the day that it happened and then kind of circled back and apologized |

| 2:11.9 | the situation happens where Judas basically sells out Jesus and brings this angry mob and they've got, it says |
| 2:20.8 | something about they have weapons. And so Peter is so upset about this that he pulls a sword out |
| 2:26.6 | and cuts the ear off of the man that is trying to take Jesus to prison. And Jesus says, like, put that away. That's not necessary. That's not how we |
