0:00.0	Hey guys, it's me, Erin, all alone in this feed, finally, and I'm here to drop a secret
0:04.8	surprise slash sneak peek at Nox's new book, All Things Reconsidered. If you've been listening
0:09.7	to our episodes, you know that Nox's new book is coming out soon, which is why we built
0:13.7	the most recent season around it. Here at the Babble Binge, we know that so many of you have joined
0:18.2	us in your own journey of reconsideration. That's why I think this book in particular is so well
0:22.4	suited for you. If you like what we do here, this book is going to ring all your bells.
0:26.6	I've already read it, endorsed it, and it gets no rebukes, gentle or otherwise.

1:28.8	quintessential small southern Baptist church in the 80s and 90s, but it felt like it. So I'll
1:34.3	report that feeling as fact and we can move on. Even today, when I think about the construct of
1:38.7	a church as a physical place, the steeple from Westwood still comes to mind, as does the garish,
