| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends, this is Francie. |
| 0:06.7 | Welcome back to another episode of the Heaven in Your Home podcast. |
| 0:10.6 | Just want to give you a little preview of what you're going to hear today. |
| 0:15.1 | We are going deep on the topic of intimacy with God in this episode. |
| 0:21.0 | We talk a lot about married intimacy on this podcast for obvious reasons. |
| 0:24.9 | That is part of what I'm called to bring to the world in conversations. |
| 0:29.5 | I love to joke that I'm an intimacy evangelist and how I have this call to a healing ministry and the pathway in happens to be through |

| 1:59.8 | really different than anything I've ever done in |
| 2:01.5 | the podcast and I'm a little nervous. So make sure you listen to all the way to the end of this |
| 2:05.2 | podcast because I'm going to be setting the stage for what's coming next week and I'll just |
