| 0:00.0 | Hey Jim Daley here. If you like the focus on the family broadcast and haven't |
| 0:04.7 | grown tired of this voice just yet, you'll love my ReFocus podcast. On ReFocus I |
| 0:10.2 | take a deeper dive with a respected thinker on different aspects of culture. I |
| 0:14.4 | ask those hard questions that maybe they don't get that often and I don't |

| 1:16.4 | for us. So for Jalen, you know, one of his parents, his mom, really walked out |
| 1:22.4 | on him at a very young age. I think he was five when that happened. And income |
| 1:28.8 | stepmom, who is love language savvy and eager and happy and ready to pour |
| 1:35.2 | out herself to him and discovers what his love language is and is more than |
| 1:40.2 | happy to meet that need, right? Giving gifts. But for Jalen, I mean, think |
