Summary
In this episode, I'm talking about Jesus Christ as our Advocate — not just someday at judgment, but right now, in the middle of our messy, mortal lives. I share what I learned while studying the word advocate, how the Holy Ghost helps bring Christ's advocacy into our hearts, and why staying close to the Spirit matters so much. I also share a personal scripture moment from 2 Corinthians 8 that reminded me the Lord accepts what we can offer, not what we can't. Christ is beside us, cheering for us, pleading for us, strengthening us, and helping us come home.

| 0:53.0 | There was a cute ukulele version and some kids singing, and I really liked it. I ended up going with just an instrumental version done by my... |

| 1:09.1 | Okay, let's get started. I'm sorry it took me a little bit to get this one out. |
| 1:14.3 | Like I said, I had a little growth on my tongue that we had to have cut out by the oral |
| 1:19.9 | surgeon. There was a lot of stitches there and that was not comfortable. I could barely even talk |
| 1:26.1 | for the first four days and then it wasn't until like |
