0:00.0	Welcome to the Journey Women Podcast. I'm your host, Hunter Beelis. Life's a journey we were
0:15.7	never meant to walk alone. We all lead friends along the way. On the Journey Women Podcast, we'll
0:21.2	chat with mentors about gracefully navigating the seasons and challenges we face on our journeys
0:26.5	to glorify God. Today we have the joy of getting to hear from one of my favorite people to learn
0:32.4	from John Piper. John Piper is the founder and lead teacher of DesiringGod.org and
0:38.9	chancellor of Bethlehem College in Seminary. He served for 33 years as the pastor of Bethlehem Baptist
0:45.6	Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is the author of more than 50 books including Desiring God,
0:52.0	Don't waste your life and Providence, the brand new book that we are going to dive into today.

1:35.7	Our hope is that this episode will offer you an opportunity to reflect upon and meditate on the
1:41.6	Providence of God. Our sponsors for today's episode are Dwell, Preptish, and VJU Press. Are you
1:53.2	new to homeschooling or searching for a good curriculum for your kiddos? VJU Press Home School
1:58.4	is a Christian curriculum publisher that creates educational materials for students from preschool
2:03.5	through 12th grade. Their mission is to help parents raise children who love learning and who can
2:08.8	think for themselves from a biblical worldview. VJU Press realizes that a Christian education is
