0:00.0	Well, today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, we'll be exploring what it means to live a radical life as a follower of Jesus Christ.
0:09.0	And our guest shares one example of what radical living looks like.
0:13.0	Tim Lowe said, I want you to go to the mall on a busy Friday night.
0:18.0	And I want you to sit there. I'm 12 years old at the time. I'm like, okay.
0:21.8	And I want you to watch people for 30 minutes. And I want you to put an imaginary tag on their

1:32.1	that rabbi who said, love your enemies, and healed the lepers, the blind. And I mean, he was the guy.
1:39.2	And that's why history remembers him the way that we do. And the gospel is still revolutionary today.
