| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. |
| 0:02.3 | Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. |
| 0:06.0 | If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend. |
| 0:10.3 | We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. |
| 0:14.1 | God bless you. |
| 0:15.0 | It's great to be with you today and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week |
| 0:19.4 | through our daily podcast, |
