0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to the Off the Bench Podcast. This is Heidi St. John.
0:04.4	And today I'm going to air a part two of my interview with my friend, Dr. Jeff Myers,
0:09.2	and we'll be talking about the importance of objective truth. Stick around. I think you're going to be encouraged.
0:23.6	Thank you guys for tuning in today. Before I jump into part two of my interview with Dr. Jeff today,
0:29.2	I want to ask if you guys would take part in a survey that we are putting out for podcast listeners.
0:34.9	We are thinking about launching a subscription service for podcast listeners. If you're interested

1:59.5	Come back three days later. Find him in the temple. And it's in the scriptures really interesting.
2:04.8	It says that they were amazed at his answers. And then it goes on to say, and I'm paraphrasing
