| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the feminine podcast. This is Nancy Wilson. Thanks so much for joining me. |
| 0:10.6 | Today I'm going to run through three verses in Romans 12 that have lots of practical |
| 0:16.6 | applications for us. And these are the verses, starting in verse 14 through 16. |
| 0:22.2 | Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse. |
| 0:26.4 | Rejoys with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Do not set your mind on high things, |
| 0:32.3 | but associate with a humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. |

| 1:14.4 | them who wants to be like they are. This is counterintuitive and it protects our |
| 1:20.9 | souls from becoming contaminated with their meanness. |
| 1:25.3 | Don't take it on board. |
| 1:26.9 | This keeps you in the joy of the Lord as you obey his word. |
| 1:31.3 | Sometimes just keep a list of names of those people who are persecuting you |
| 1:36.6 | and make a point of praying for them regularly. Laugh, smile, ask God to bless those |
| 1:41.8 | who are mean-spirited toward the church. |
