| 0:00.0 | Before we begin today's episode of renewing your mind, we invite you to stay with us through |
| 0:04.7 | the end of the program to hear how you can request today's featured teaching series from |
| 0:09.5 | Ligadier Ministries. |
| 0:10.5 | Here we have this invitation to enter in to this revelation that God is giving to his people, |
| 0:19.0 | the Father through the Son, the Son through the angel, |
