| 0:00.0 | Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. |
| 0:09.7 | Thanks for joining. Today, we're in Exodus 2, and I want us to spend some time thinking about what it means to be average or overlooked, ranked highly or ranked lowly. |
| 0:20.4 | How does God deal with, treat, think about, or |
| 0:23.4 | deploy people who would be classified or categorized differently, ranked differently by society? |
| 0:30.0 | Who's at the top and who's at the bottom? We all remember our childhood recess days when kids |

| 1:22.1 | professional athletes or famous celebrities. Most of us listening probably aren't billionaires or |
| 1:27.4 | CEOs. You probably aren't billionaires or CEOs. |
| 1:28.3 | You probably aren't listening to this podcast if you're homeless. |
| 1:31.6 | We're in the middle. |
| 1:32.8 | And what does God do with people, quote unquote, in the middle? |
| 1:37.1 | Now, if you are listening and you're not average by society's definition, that's great. |
