0:00.0	Hey friends, on Monday check out the latest episode of my podcast, Refocus with Jim Daily.
0:05.2	Author Tim Geigline will help us to honor America's spiritual heritage and influence the culture
0:10.6	with faith and optimism. Visit Refocus with JimDaily.com.
0:14.8	Stress is really a gift, if you will, because it sheds light on my weaknesses. It gives me a
0:30.7	clearer picture of where I am on the inside and it also helps me know where I need to grow,
0:36.6	possibly. But the other thing it does is it offers an opportunity for intimacy.
0:42.8	Well, what do you think? Does that statement that stress is good resonate with you?
0:47.6	Myelin and Kay Yerkovich are here on Focus on the Family to help us understand what causes stress
0:52.7	and how we can really benefit from it. I'm John Fuller and your host is Focus President and
0:59.4	Author Jim Daily. John, I have a certain understanding that most people don't see stress as a benefit.
1:06.5	It comes from my own life. I don't see stress as a benefit. Usually stress stresses me out.
1:12.4	That's how it goes. And I think like most people I feel like I'm pretty middle of the road and
1:17.4	things don't tend to toss me too far. But there are days I'll come home and you know, I've had a
1:22.7	tough day here at the office or something. I probably don't speak as kindly as I would like to
1:28.1	to gene or maybe the boys do something that set me off a certain way. If that's you, I think today's
1:34.9	message is going to be for us. And so I'm hopeful that we can help with the aid of the Yerkoviches.
1:43.2	Bring this to light. Embrace it. Talk about it in the context of Jesus and who he was and how he
1:49.9	dealt with it. And then move forward in our relationship with Christ and in our relationship with
1:55.2	those around us. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the conversation, especially as we look at stress
1:59.4	and marriage. There are times Jim, I go home and I just think, why can I be so nice to everybody
2:05.2	there at work or at church or wherever I am. But here at home, I just blows up some reason.
2:12.8	It comes very open. Boy, John. Well, I'm very nice. We can fix that so I can all tonight be nice.
