0:00.0	Hi, grownups.
0:02.3	Thanks for joining.
0:04.0	Happy Monday!
0:05.5	We're going to learn about the Joy to Jerry Judy Jr. Podcast.
0:09.1	It's out now.
0:10.1	You can find the link in today's episode, description.
0:14.3	So you can listen with your kids and talk to them about the Bible.
0:20.1	Now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but know that it's never
0:24.9	too late to start and we're in this together. Thanks for journeying with us. And here's your host,
0:31.5	Emma, daughter. Thanks for joining. Today, we are reading Matthew 18 through 19, and I am in the podcast studio with one of our

1:37.0	I think there's nothing really better that they could be doing on their weekend rather than trying to have conversations about the Lord and the stuff that
1:46.4	actually matters rather than just, I don't know, sitting at home on their phone or whatever.
1:51.9	Fair enough. I love it. Well, Andrew, for those who don't know you, would you share a little bit
1:55.6	about what God's done in your life? Yeah. So I was blessed with great parents and I grew up in the church.
