0:15.1	where I'm spending my time and the dangers of what we're seeing on our phone.
0:21.6	Hi, I'm Cissy Graham Lynch. Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture. I want to be fearless.
0:37.0	Welcome back to another episode of Fearless. If you're watching on our

1:49.7	Lord and we have found a wonderful church we belong to.
1:53.0	Personally, I'm thankful you obey the Lord and the startup of your podcast.

2:00.0	and the peace I feel because of him is exactly what I've longed for for almost 20 years.
