about prayer, about relationship advice, church teachings,

from past episodes, future questions, comments, concerns, critiques, advice so that we can continue

people find out about the gift of the show. If it's helpful for you, it might be helpful for them

as well. On today's show, we are going to discuss a number of different topics, but they're

going to all have a little thread that's similar. They're all going to be essentially about relationships,
