| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Andy here. Welcome to Your Move, where we help you make better decisions and live with fewer regrets. |
| 0:06.7 | As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of our listeners. So if you have been positively impacted by this podcast, would you consider supporting your move with a tax deductible donation? |
| 0:18.5 | To give, just visit your move.is slash give. That's your move. |
| 0:23.5 | .is forward slash give. Thanks for considering. And now back to the show. |
| 0:33.1 | If tragedy or a sudden change of circumstances, either yours or the circumstances of somebody |
| 0:41.7 | you love has caused you to doubt God, has caused you to be angry at God, has caused you to wonder |
| 0:47.7 | if maybe God is angry at you, cause you to lose your faith, cause you to walk away from faith, |
| 0:53.4 | as strange as it might be to hear |
| 0:55.3 | this from me, I actually understand that. And I don't blame you. And if I were you, maybe it would be |

| 1:44.5 | is going on, that's what we're going to talk about. Because that's in you, that's in me, that's in |
| 1:49.2 | all of us. And to start at, you know, the lowest of the low rungs on the ladder, I want to begin |

| 2:03.1 | And the reason I, I would take it to that extreme is because this statement actually comes from the lips of Jesus. |
