| 0:00.0 | Good morning again, my friends. |
| 0:05.0 | Welcome back to the morning mindset edition of LiveBuild Change.com. |
| 0:08.6 | We are starting out our day right. |
| 0:11.1 | And I would encourage you, you are doing a good thing right now. You are listening to |
| 0:15.2 | truths from God's word that will help you live the kind of life he has in mind for you. |
| 0:20.3 | That's the kind of thing he has in store for your life. Do you believe that? |
