| 0:34.8 | calling of motherhood. Today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg is looking at the |
| 0:40.3 | unique privilege of embracing biblical motherhood in a confused culture. Now let's read just a section from Titus and chapter one. We'll read from |
| 0:57.1 | verse 10 through to verse 5 of Titus 2 and you will quickly see where we're going in this. |
