| 0:49.0 | Last episode we started off a simple series on therapists or therapy or essentially it's a lot of the questions that we get and we've gotten over the years about therapy and how to that the whole big gamut my head's overwhelmed with all the questions |
| 1:04.0 | because I know where we're going today but last time we touched on various things |

| 1:42.2 | as therapists that are very valuable but they are really empty to bring about transformation without the power of God in the middle of that. |
| 1:50.0 | And so it's how do we integrate what we've learned in our schooling to be a therapist and that |
| 1:56.0 | training is important, but also not rely on our own self-sufficiency or our own wisdom or own knowledge but really rely on God |
| 2:06.0 | to work through everything that we've learned. Yeah I mean it's a good segue to a very |
| 2:10.6 | shameless plug so shameless plug alert we've got a therapist conference that we're doing coming up in |
| 2:18.0 | 2022 so just want to highlight that for therapists out there who'd like to come together. There's not many openings, so I just want to let everybody know ahead of time so you get the best chance to register. |
