| 0:00.0 | Hey Jim Daley here. If you like the focus on the family broadcast and haven't |
| 0:04.7 | grown tired of this voice just yet, you'll love my ReFocus podcast. On ReFocus I |
| 0:10.2 | take a deeper dive with a respected thinker on different aspects of culture. I |
| 0:14.4 | ask those hard questions that maybe they don't get that often and I don't |
| 0:18.8 | shy away from challenging topics to help you share God's grace, truth, and love |

| 1:40.4 | music and romantic comedies in the movies. So you watch the Hallmark channel and |
| 1:45.4 | that's where we're cataclyzed on what it means for love and marriage. And that's |
