| 0:08.0 | Really? |
| 0:10.0 | Hey, I'm Jeff Cavens. How do you simplify your life? How do you study the Bible? |
| 0:18.0 | All the way from motorcycle trips to raising kids, we're going to talk about the faith and life in general. It's the Jeff |

| 0:30.2 | Ah, thanks for joining me again this week in the midst of all the things that are happening in this world. |
| 0:36.0 | With COVID and a political situation, it's kind of nice to just come out here into the woods once in a while and the cabin deep in the woods of Minnesota to spend just a few minutes with you talking about the issues that we're facing today and how we can become really better activated disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. |
