| 0:00.0 | Hey, happy summer. It's Owen Strand. I'm back. Except right now, grace and truth is on a short summer break. There's a lot going on in my life. My family is moving from one state to another, and we may even be enjoying just a few days of this summer. And so this episode is one we have run previously, but it's one that our audience, my audience has responded to very strongly, and so we're representing it to you in hopes that it will be a blessing in some small |
| 0:25.8 | way to you. We'll be back recording and releasing new episodes very soon. Until I return, enjoy your |
| 0:31.9 | summer, and God bless you. How do you disentangle your faith when you've had some wonky beliefs baked into the |

| 1:46.5 | stuff going on, but you've you've given me a little bit of time here. Thank you so much for |
| 1:50.6 | doing that. How is life for you on this fine morning? Yeah, happy to be able to sit down and talk. |
| 1:57.6 | I have two kiddos that Jeremy's hanging with right now. They're five and three, two girls, |
| 2:04.3 | Felicity and Evangeline. And so it's been a great morning so far. We're going to get to |
