Summary

0:28.2	For those you're new to us, Inspired is all about mates of mine from different walks of life in all sorts of different careers with their range of experience of following Jesus, of overcoming

1:19.1	want to say you're quite a good speaker, but you're nowhere near as good as you could be. And I
1:24.3	would love to make you better. Do you remember that? Yeah, forgive me.
