0:00.0	Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a short practical podcast that mixes encouragement,
0:06.0	the Bible, how-toes, and fantastic interviews for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle,
0:11.1	and I welcome you to the Joe Interview Show with me, which I trust and pray will be time well spent.
0:16.1	This show, with scholar and best-selling author Gary Thomas, proved to be one of our all-time favorites. And even
0:22.2	though we just aired it only about a month ago, we're airing it again. This man has real clout,
0:27.2	author of 19 books, including The Sacred Marriage, which just sold over a million copies, by the way.
0:32.4	That's hard to do in this day and time especially. But his book, When to Walk Away, Finding
0:37.1	Freedom from Toxic People, has to Walk Away, Finding Freedom from
0:37.9	Toxic People, has to be another bestseller because of the crazy wisdom he imparts in the book
0:43.3	and on this show. I heard back from so many people about this. Texts, DMs, calls, all said
0:50.3	the same thing. Thank you, Lisa, for putting Gary on the show. I needed to hear what he had
0:55.0	to say so much. So if you haven't listened to the show yet, you are in for a real, real treat.

1:31.4	because you live in Houston, Texas, and I am a native Houston Texan. Are you from there or
1:37.7	you just live there now? I'm not. I'm one of those who wasn't born here, but got here as soon as I
1:43.2	could. I love Texas, but I'm actually a Seattle boy. I've just been in Texas just short of a decade. Well, I like Seattle too. That doesn't make me mad at all. It's one of my favorite places to visit. In fact, I will be in Seattle in about a week. So I'll say hi for you. Well, this is the best time.
2:01.8	August and September, that's when you go to Seattle.
2:04.8	The rest of the year, pack your umbrella and raincoat.
