| 0:11.0 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face. |
| 0:22.8 | This week on the podcast, I am so excited to invite Caroline Neuheiser to the podcast, and she is an |
| 0:30.3 | ACBC certified member. She just completed a Master of Arts in Christian Counseling at RTS in Charlotte, and she is the beloved wife |
