| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:10.0 | Today's reading titled Storms of Fear was written by Adam Holes. |
| 0:16.0 | In a TV commercial I saw recently, a woman casually asked someone in a group watching TV, |
| 0:22.4 | What are you searching for, Mark? |
| 0:24.3 | A version of myself that doesn't make decisions based on fear. |
