0:00.0 | Hi, friend. We have an exciting, special episode of Joe for you today. What you're about to listen to |
0:13.8 | is a chapter in my book, I Want God. I trust and pray God has something to say to you in it. |
0:20.6 | So sit back, settle in, open your heart. |
0:24.1 | Here it is, meet reading to you chapter one from I Want God. |
