0:00.0	What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh, the podcast why I get to listen to your questions,
0:05.1	pray with them, study, do some research and hopefully respond in such a way that it's
0:09.0	helpful for you and your walk toward eternity. I acknowledge that our lives are just really
0:14.3	messy at times and it's not always going to be that easy thing to blank go to answer to life's
0:21.0	current problems. And so the purpose of this show is for me to accompany you.
0:26.5	Reality is just though, I am imperfect and I'm not always going to give you the best answers.
0:34.7	If that is the case, I want to give you the freedom to reject whatever I say if it does not help you

1:57.6	singer moms. All right, but before we get into those topics, let's talk about a glory story.
2:05.0	My glory story this week is something that she's been coming up in prayer as of
2:10.4	at the past few days. I'm just going to share it with you. A memory came up of whenever I was still
