Summary
There is no perfect podcast, but this one comes close. Actually, it doesn’t because only Jesus is perfect. Bob discovers how imperfect he is, especially with keeping his promises. When he fails to pick up something he promised to do, it almost results in his grandma getting injured. Bob and Jesse also help out a listener in Texas with ways to get through hard times in life.

| 0:45.0 | Look out, he's back with shoes untied in his ears, slicked back, taken life on one day at a time. Average Boy and Jess bringing the ride. |
| 0:56.0 | Welcome to episode 74 of the official Average Boy podcast. I'm Jessi, editor of Focus on the Family Club House Magazine. |
| 1:03.0 | And I'm Bob Smiley, aka Average Boy, aka the proud, prop perpetual person of pleasing promises. |
| 1:11.0 | Perfect. Uh, yes. Did you need something? What do you mean? Well, you know, you called my name. Oh, let me explain. Some people call me perfect. So naturally I assumed you were talking to me. |
| 1:25.0 | You know, I know you're joking because there was really only one perfect person who's ever walked this earth and I know you know who that is. |
| 1:33.0 | I do. Jesus was the only one to live a perfect life. And he did it to show us how we should try and live our lives. I was just making a joke. |
| 1:42.0 | Actually, it's my dad's joke. Any time anyone says the word perfect, he says, yes, did you need something? |
| 1:50.0 | He never misses a chance to do that joke. You know, I could even be riding on the school bus headed to school and someone could say something is perfect. |
| 1:58.0 | And even though my dad is at home or like in Hong Kong, he'll all of a sudden show up running alongside the bus window and go, yes, did you need something? |

| 2:19.0 | Okay. But before we get too distracted, we should finish the truth about Jesus because he didn't come to earth to live a perfect life just to show us how to live. |
| 2:28.0 | Jesus never sinned because God sent his son to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins. When Jesus died, he took on our sins so we could be forgiven. |
| 2:38.0 | Oh, I agree. We all need to be forgiven for a lot. And we found that forgiveness when we believe Jesus rose from the dead and believe in him as our savior. |
| 2:48.0 | I mean, that's the truth of the Easter story and the best news the world has ever received. And Jesus always keeps his promises. |
| 2:55.0 | Oh, that reminds me. You started this episode saying that you were the proud, prompt, purple, pleasing protagonist? |
