| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, this is Heidi St. John. Welcome to the podcast. How are you guys doing? |
| 0:04.8 | It's Monday. How many guys are listening to me in the shower right now? All my laundry, |
| 0:09.8 | folding, mama friends. Some of you guys are driving, car schooling, driving to work. I am so |
| 0:15.9 | thankful that you have tuned in today. Today is mailbox Monday. I have a couple of questions |
| 0:20.8 | I'm going to ask from listeners. One of them who said she is really dealing with the harsh |
| 0:25.6 | tongue. She's having a hard time saying kind things to people. Anybody? Anybody relate? Moment of |
| 0:31.6 | silence. That's why I thought a couple other questions I'm going to try to get to today. So stick |
| 0:36.8 | around. I think you're going to be encouraged. So today in the scripture writing challenge, |
| 0:49.4 | I hope you guys are doing this with me. Right? So if you're not, I'm going to chastise you. |

| 1:44.1 | people and he wants us to love him. God loves you. He loves you. And so I want you to be just |
| 1:51.5 | encouraged days. We talk a little bit about what it looks like to love other people. That's the theme |
