| 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 |

| 1:20.7 | their marriage and here's Jim Daley with more. I think for most people you know |
| 1:25.6 | when they're asked a question do you have a good friend? Many people certainly |
| 1:29.4 | men say no. So describe even the idea of a team of people that were there to help |
| 1:36.8 | you. I mean that most people probably would not have that. How did you |
