0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Grace podcast. Here at the Daily Grace Co, our mission is to equip
0:08.2	disciples in the Word. We believe that deep Bible study and rich theology are not just for
0:14.5	the seminary student or pastor, but they are accessible for all believers. We hope these conversations
0:20.7	will invite you into a deeper relationship with the Lord and
0:24.4	to remind you that the gospel changes everything.

1:28.5	kids and two grandkids. But the focus of my ministry has been twofold. It's called Closer to
1:34.2	Christ and Closer to Others. And my passion has been, how do we build community by drawing
1:40.7	first to God and the love of God helping us learn to love and forgive and show grace
1:46.5	and draw closer to each other. So, I mean, I'm most known for the marriage book, sacred marriage
1:53.9	and other books about helping marriages draw closer together. But this book I wrote because I
1:59.5	realized that there are certain lies that I've heard
