0:00.0	Thank you for tuning in to this episode of the Sword and Trial today. Graham and I are talking about
0:05.0	what it means to be a productive Christian and what it means to be a productive church. There are a lot
0:11.3	more opportunities around us than we tend to take note of and advantage of. And we just talk

1:35.7	You've been here seven years, right?

1:39.9	And these things have happened over the course of many decades, but especially it's intensified.
1:48.2	It's just ramped up, really probably in the last five years or so, three years even we could say.
