0:00.0	Welcome to the Jeff Kaven's show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and
0:05.4	evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples.
0:17.0	This is episode 361, restoring the bruised Reed.
0:29.6	And welcome to the show again this week. You know that in our lives we go through these times where we feel beat up, downtrodden, weak, powerless, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of hope.
0:38.5	If you're not going through something like that right now, chances are you have at some point, I know that I now. Chances are you have at some point I know that I have and it's
0:45.8	part of life you know it's we are people created in the image and likeness of
0:49.9	God yes but we do go through difficult times in relationships at work, emotionally, and it's usually
0:58.2	at times like that that you feel kind of isolated, you feel alone. I remember one time when years ago when I went to a

1:55.1	quench a smoldering wick till he brings justice to victory and so we're going to
2:01.7	talk a little bit about that and I hope that this will be
2:04.0	encouraging to you or maybe you have a teenage son or daughter at home that needs some
2:10.3	encouragement. Sometimes all we need to hear is that the Lord sees, the Lord hears,
2:15.8	and that there is hope and we have hope for those who feel hopeless.
2:20.7	I do have some scriptures this week, by the way way and if you are interested in getting a
2:24.3	hold of those I'll send them to you absolutely free of course and all you got to do is
