0:06.1	Passion City Church including our gathering times in Atlanta and Washington DC.
0:10.8	Visit us online at passioncitychurch.com I can't tell you the number of times
0:18.8	as a pastor that I have shared Psalm 23 sitting with parents who've lost a child.
0:30.0	A bad report from the doctor stage for cancer.
0:35.0	Prodigal children that have made horrible, awful, bad choices and
