0:00.0 | Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | It's day four of our International Challenge Week and we're posting about this all |
0:16.6 | week on our social media. That may be the easiest way for you to forward our |
0:20.7 | information to your people abroad. |
0:22.8 | Feel free to screenshot and re-share our stories with your friends. |
0:26.1 | Okay, let's get to recapping. |

1:16.1 | It's always helpful for me to remember that he says to comfort those who are afflicted, not instruct them. |
1:21.7 | Paul reiterates this later in Romans 1215 when he says to weep with those who weep |
1:26.4 | not put together a detailed list of how they could have avoided this or why it's not actually a big deal at all |
1:31.2 | or how to solve it instead he calls us to enter in and to speak comfort and hope. |
