| 0:11.5 | I'm Dale Johnson, and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, |
| 0:17.5 | where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face. |
| 0:22.6 | And today we're definitely talking about a problem, an issue that we see cropping up in different parts of the country, |
| 0:28.6 | particularly today talking about an issue in West Lafayette. |
| 0:32.6 | The city council and ordinance has been proposed. |
