0:06.0	Hey there, I'm Christine, and I'm so excited to welcome you to the Equip and Empower podcast.
0:11.6	Now, my prayer is that our time together each week encourages you,
0:15.6	awakens you to the purposes of God in your life,
0:18.1	and activates you to follow Jesus wholeheartedly as you live on mission for
0:22.3	him. I am so glad that you've joined me today. I'm believing that God is going to speak to you
0:29.3	through His word and that you're going to be equipped and empowered to fulfill your God-given purpose.
0:34.2	You know, when Nick and I found out that we were having a baby, we were so excited.

1:41.4	chapter 54 verse 1.3. This is the word of the Lord.
1:45.1	Rejoiced childless one who did not give birth.
1:48.4	Burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labour.
