| 0:04.5 | that listen to this podcast. Today's episode is coming from a Christian perspective. So if that's |
| 0:09.4 | something that doesn't fit what you're looking for, check out one of the other episodes that |
| 0:12.6 | dropped this week or join me back here next week for conversations that you don't want to miss. |
| 0:18.0 | These patterns are so hard to break because they're often what we've always known. When you grow up |
| 0:23.5 | in dysfunction, you know like, okay, this is what I don't want, but it can be really hard to figure |

| 1:41.0 | that break you, healing from the pain of your past, and finding real hope that |
