0:00.0	Everybody, what is going on?
0:02.7	You know what time it is.
0:03.8	You're listening to join the Journey podcast with your host, Emma, daughter.
0:10.0	Thanks for joining.
0:11.3	Today, we are in Judges Nine, and I am back in the podcast studio with Mr. Garrett Weichael.
0:17.3	Hey, Emma.
0:17.9	Garrett, it is good to have you back.
0:20.2	It's good to be back.
0:20.9	You know, I'm glad you're here.

1:07.0	for the trees. Even more so than that, it's not even just a single tree. It's you're looking
1:11.3	at a single leaf on the tree that you're missing the whole forest for. And it's not even a very
1:15.4	nice leaf. Like it looks like all the other leaves. Yeah. Comparably speaking. And so I said that
1:19.5	because this chapter sticks out like a sore thumb in the book of judges. Like you've already
