| 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 |
