| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:08.6 | I'm Tom Felton, and I call today's reading, Staying the Course in Christ. |
| 0:16.1 | As Gandalf the Gray confronted Saraman the White, it became clear that the latter had turned from what he was |
| 0:22.6 | supposed to be doing, helping to protect Middle Earth from the power of the evil being Saran. |
| 0:29.4 | What's more, Saruman had allied with Saran. In this scene from the film, The Fellowship of the Ring, |

| 1:24.5 | Talk about a complete reversal. |
