| 0:06.9 | I'll just tell you this, there is no one who always lives on the mountaintop. |
| 0:11.1 | Now, you may think that your pastor does or some godly person that you really respect |
| 0:14.9 | or some great Christian leader, you may think, well, they look like they always live on the |
| 0:18.8 | mountaintop. |
| 0:19.6 | It's not true. |
| 0:20.7 | They don't. |
| 0:22.8 | This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamoo. Author of Revive My Heart. |

| 1:44.2 | mountain top experiences. And when it isn't, we find ourselves disappointed or frustrated or thinking, |
