| 0:10.8 | I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified |
| 0:15.1 | Biblical Counselors, where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face. |
| 0:20.6 | This week on the podcast, I'm delighted to have with me, Dan Naa. |
| 0:24.4 | He's married to Mina for 28 years, and Dan and Mina have four children, ages 19 to 25. |
| 0:31.4 | I've had the pleasure, Dan, of meeting one of your children out in San Diego at Patrick |

| 1:37.1 | wow, what I thought was so old. It's not so old now. That's right. But here we are. We're going to |
