So anyway, this book is amazing without rival. I've been listening to it in my car. I'm so proud of you. Thanks, babe. And you you read really well too. Thank you.

0:34.5

I should have you read books to me at night before we fall asleep. I'd be more than way I'd be more than happy to do that.

0:39.4

Since you say that my books are your competitors. I'd be happy to read that to you. You can start tonight. When did I say that my competitors?

0:46.3

You said, okay, you said your books are your other lover. Oh, is that what I said? Okay. Well Lisa, hey, I'm excited to talk about this. Let's get right without rival.

0:58.8

We're not rivals. We're talking about with that. That's right. So babe, we're going to talk about this chapter on deep wells. What do you want to talk about here?

1:43.2

And I had an encounter shortly after you became a youth pastor of a trial that began to show me what I was. It was the whole issue of my anger issues.

1:53.6

And I've seen it as a pattern in my life where I'm like, God, you know what? I know I've got some issues going on. I know that I've got some things that are buried that you need to excavate in my life.

2:25.3

Well, I believe I went through the same process too. And it's not very fun when you go through at Lisa, but it's so rewarding.

2:31.6

Here's the situation. There's a lot of people right now, John. They're out there. And they're discouraged right now.
