| 0:00.0 | All right, all right, join the Journey family, friends, and guests. You're listening to Join the Journey |
| 0:06.0 | podcast with your host, Emma Daughter. Thanks for joining. If you are listening to this episode on the day it |
| 0:13.9 | comes out, it's a Monday, which means two things. Number one, a new episode of Join the Journey Jr. |
| 0:19.9 | Just dropped. So if you've got little kids running |
| 0:23.1 | around your house or you know some little kids who you love dearly, maybe nieces or nephews, |
| 0:27.9 | send them a link. We will put that in the episode description. But it's also a Monday, which means |
| 0:34.0 | that today, not every Monday, but some Mondays, we start a new book of the Bible. And today |
| 0:40.5 | we are kicking off the book of Job. And here with me is my friend and co-worker, Maddie Alvis. |
| 0:47.4 | Hey, everyone. Maddie, so glad to have you here. Would you share a little bit about you? So what's God |

| 1:06.6 | So growing up, I really didn't know a day without Jesus. I was saved when I was really young, |
| 1:12.3 | like four or five. And so at that age, I couldn't fully grasp the weight of my sin. I then went |
| 1:19.1 | off to high school and college, and I put Jesus way to the side thinking, I'll figure out my |
| 1:24.7 | faith and what I think about God later on in life. But for right now, |
| 1:28.7 | I just want to have fun. And that's what I did. And I was empty and unhappy and living in sin. |
| 1:36.1 | My junior year of college, through the faithful prayers of a friend, and by God's grace, I surrendered |
| 1:42.2 | every part of my life to Jesus. Nice. |
| 1:45.0 | And then I spent the summer doing a discipleship program with an on-campus ministry where I experienced |
| 1:50.7 | godly community and was really reading my Bible for the first time. |
| 1:54.7 | I understood the weight of my sin, that my sin is what hung Jesus on the cross. |
