| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's summertime. It's the perfect time to create your own podcast. Spotify has |
| 0:04.8 | a platform that lets you make one really easily, and you can distribute it everywhere and |
| 0:09.4 | even earn money all in one place for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters, and here's |
| 0:14.6 | how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your |
| 0:19.2 | phone or computer, and so no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today, |
| 0:23.9 | and then Spotify will distribute your podcast everywhere that podcasts are available. |
| 0:28.9 | And best of all, it's free with no catch. So if you've got a message to get out and |
| 0:33.2 | some time to begin, I highly recommend you give it a try. Download the Spotify for podcasters |
| 0:38.2 | app or go to spotify.com forward slash podcasters to get started. |

| 1:30.6 | lived down upon them, the companies that we kept encouraged us in our thinking, but eventually |
| 1:36.3 | several of the families who were part of our group buckled under the strain of expectations |
| 1:40.8 | that did not come from the Lord. We watch as families struggled under the weight. Now |
| 1:46.0 | I didn't know it then, but I've come to understand that my attitude was really legalism, |
| 1:52.1 | and it's the gatekeeper of a parenting vortex. Legalism says, if you wear the right clothes |
| 1:58.3 | or don't watch television, you're righteous. It judges others by an extra biblical standard. |
