0:00.0	Giving birth, we had a few hours to spend with our daughter, and then we were sent home empty-handed.
0:04.7	We daily needed the grace of Jesus.
0:07.6	Did I do something to deserve this happening to me?
0:17.2	Well, hello, and welcome back to the Daily Grace podcast.
0:20.8	I am JJ, your host, and super excited for today's conversation because our co-host is my best friend, my wife and my boss, and her name is Kristen.
