| 0:00.0 | The actual path to healing and change is almost always a thousand unglomerous, difficult, small decisions in relationship over a long period of time. Welcome to the Good Faith podcast. |
| 0:27.6 | I'm your host, Curtis Chang. |
| 0:29.4 | The Good Faith podcast is a production of redeeming Babel. |
| 0:32.7 | And it's where friends who follow Jesus help each other make sense of the world. |
| 0:38.4 | And here at Good Faith, we are in a series at the beginning of this year that we're calling |

| 1:40.9 | John Mark Comer is a leading teacher and writer on this crucial topic of spiritual |
| 1:46.6 | formation in this particular moment of our culture. He does though through his organization |
| 1:52.1 | practicing the way. He's the author of several important books on this topic, including |
| 1:56.7 | The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and his most recent book, Practicing the Way, which I |
