0:00.0 | All right. I hate to start the stream off this heavy, but the first question up today is going to be, it's going to be heavy. |
0:16.4 | Can guys like the ones I'm about to show you, can fallen pastors be restored to ministry. That is |
0:21.8 | pastors who've done things that are so egregious that the right thing to do is to pull them out of |
