| 0:12.0 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, |
| 0:18.0 | where we seek to provide biblical solutions for the problems that people face. |

| 0:26.5 | Paul Touches. |
| 0:27.5 | Paul is an ACBC certified member. |
