| 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. |
| 0:08.8 | Thanks for joining. I am in the podcast studio with today's Devo writer, Jessica Hoover. Hey, I'm excited to be here. |
| 0:16.0 | Jessica, I am so glad you're here. We're in Joshua, too, and we've got some big questions about lying and is it okay. |
| 0:23.0 | We're going to get to that in a second. |

My mom taught the children in Bible class, and we would all help set up chairs, break them down. So that's kind of what I grew up |
| 1:12.3 | with, very small church. When we moved back to the States, I was in middle school, and this is when |

| 1:24.3 | because they did things a way that I didn't't and I had to be right. So I was |
| 1:28.6 | very judgmental. It wasn't until I was 15 that the Lord really pricked my heart and I understood |
