0:00.0	Welcome to Part 2 with Dr. Joseph Spencer, 2nd Mefai 26 through 30.
0:07.0	Later on, we're going to hear Alma say, I just love this phrase, if you will give place and that's that I'm gonna set the
0:16.9	evidence stuff aside for a second and I'm gonna give place even if I can no more
0:22.0	the desire to believe, could this possibly be true,
0:25.9	which demonstrates a humility and faith instead of evidence? I love that phrase. I got to give place,
0:34.3	and maybe that's what you're talking about Hank we could be in danger of not giving place if we get to evidence intellectually

1:13.0	Love is the kind of thing that you have to open a space.
1:15.0	And it's vulnerable and it's complicated and it's messy,
1:19.0	but you can do the kind of thing that happens in Alma 32
1:22.0	and measure your feelings as they develop.
1:25.3	Faith works like love, not like science.
1:28.1	You have to be carefully attuned, open, listening, not the kind of thing that you just pull out the microscope and the particle
