| 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 |

| 1:24.0 | role and what do I need to do and it is a great idea to start thinking about |
| 1:28.3 | what kind of grandparent you want to be if you haven't become one yet or if |
