| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the In Touch podcast with Charles Stanley for Tuesday, July 22nd. |
| 0:06.1 | For believers, true faith in Jesus Christ is the only thing that will sustain us when we're disillusioned. |
| 0:12.8 | Here's part two of the message on defeating discouragement. |
| 0:16.6 | We're all going to get disappointed many times in life because you see, disappointment inevitable. It's inescapable. It's unavoidable. We're going to disappoint some people. Some people are going to disappoint us. And oftentimes it's the very people we love the most or the people who love us the most. So you're not going to ever reach a stage in life where you're not going to experience disappointment. |
| 0:38.1 | You're going to feel it. |

| 1:42.7 | to be able to deal with it you have to be able to deal with it. |
| 1:44.7 | You have to be able to deal with a disappointment, lest you become discouraged. |

| 1:52.8 | mind and your heart, you're thinking about what's wrong, thinking about the failure, |
| 1:59.2 | thinking about the past, thinking about how you're treated, |
