| 0:00.0 | Hey Jim Daley here. If you like the focus on the family broadcast and haven't |
| 0:04.7 | grown tired of this voice just yet, you'll love my ReFocus podcast. On ReFocus I |
| 0:10.2 | take a deeper dive with a respected thinker on different aspects of culture. I |
| 0:14.4 | ask those hard questions that maybe they don't get that often and I don't |

| 1:11.6 | to start seeking reconciliation. You know when I hear the story and see the |
| 1:17.4 | tears and see where you're at today, what strikes me is that especially here in |
| 1:22.9 | America with our children and with our marriages. We want this pristine |
| 1:28.9 | ness yet God teaches us so much in the valleys. I can only imagine I'd like it |
| 1:34.2 | to respond to this but I bet the depth of your relationship today with all of |
| 1:39.3 | the vulnerability, with all of the pain that you've gone through is more of a |
