| 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 |

| 1:16.5 | Kirsten, I do want to ask you how God confronted you about your wedding |
| 1:22.6 | vows. I mean, that sounds odd at this point. People go, what? How did God use |
| 1:28.3 | your wedding vows to bring that back to you and say, wait a minute? |
| 1:32.9 | Well, the little preface to that was we told you that our son was overseas in |
| 1:37.4 | school. And so we had to leave a message for him. And he called, he called and |
