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, Brooke Alger. Hi. Brooke, I am so glad you're here today. Would you share with us just a little bit about how you came to know the Lord,
0:21.3	and then fast forward what's going on in your life today? Sure. So I grew up in a homeschool,
