| 0:00.0 | All right now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but it's never too late to start and we're in this together. |
| 0:08.6 | This is the Join the Journey podcast. |
| 0:12.0 | Thanks for joining. |
| 0:12.9 | My name is Wes Butler, and I am the director of care ministries here at Watermark continuing. |
| 0:18.1 | As we mentioned on yesterday's episode, this care ministry takeover |
| 0:22.8 | of the podcast. And today, I am joined by my friends Ben and L.K. Ortiz. Hello. Hey, thanks for letting |
| 0:31.0 | us be here. Absolutely. I am so thankful for these guys being here with me today and for the |
| 0:37.1 | chance to share their story with |
