| 0:08.8 | Thanks for joining. Today, I'm starting off with two reminders. Number one, if you're anything like me, you sometimes need a reminder when it comes to getting in the word regularly. |
| 0:18.7 | I don't know if you knew this, but join the journey actually |
| 0:21.1 | has an app that can send you daily reminders. Download the app, hit the gear in the top right |
| 0:26.8 | corner, and toggle the reminder switch on. My phone defaulted to sending reminders at 7 a.m., |
| 0:32.5 | but if you tap the time listed, it will allow you to adjust the reminder time yourself. |
| 0:37.3 | That's reminder number one. You can |

| 1:40.9 | At the end of the day, we're looking at what happens when everyone does what's right in their own eyes. |
