0:24.0	review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. Welcome back to Theology Applied. I am your host,
0:30.9	Pastor Joel Webbin with Right Response Ministries. In this particular episode, I'm privileged to welcome
0:36.2	back to the show Eric Kahn from Hardman

2:02.6	Joe's coffee, now that is our passion. Like the caffeine coursing through their veins,
