| 0:08.4 | It just comes out of nowhere, you in the middle of your day, and all of a sudden you sense, |
| 0:11.6 | I should just stop and say a little prayer right now, or maybe I should go check on my kids, |

| 0:20.8 | It wasn't in your calendar. It wasn't part of your plan. But you just had the sense you're |
| 0:24.0 | supposed to do this. Well, where does that come from? You see, the Holy Spirit is really powerful |

| 1:22.2 | meet listeners of the show. So that's February 8th in Anthem, Arizona. There's another thing I want to share |
| 1:28.3 | with you is this. I got a question. Do you ever find that your spiritual life is kind of in a rut? |
| 1:33.6 | Do you ever feel that way? Like you feel like, okay, you're doing the right things. You're going |
