0:00.0	What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh, the podcast why I get to hear you out.
0:03.9	Listen to your questions, pray with them, and then hopefully respond in a way that is helpful for you.
0:09.4	And you walk toward eternity and you walk toward becoming a saint.
0:14.6	The reality is this is your life and my life. Our lives are really messy.
0:18.8	And there's not always going to be that easy feeling of blank,
0:22.1	Catholic answer to the different situations that we encounter in our life.
0:26.6	And so the purpose of this show is for me to accompany you in encountering Jesus so that together

1:20.0	pick up your cross and carry your cross to Jerusalem and invitation of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
1:27.6	If it's your first time listening, I want to encourage you to send me your comments, your questions,

1:47.1	The show is a gift to you and potentially it could be a gift to them in their walk to
1:50.5	what we're becoming the same. On today's episode, we're going to talk about PCOS and the pill.
