| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Jeff Kaven show episode 240. What if Jesus told stories about you? Part two |
| 0:11.8 | Hey, I'm Jeff Kavens. How do you simplify your life? How do you study the Bible all the way from motorcycle trips to raising kids? |
| 0:19.2 | We're gonna talk about the faith and life in general. It's the Jeff Kaven show |
| 0:25.2 | And my friend, thank you so much for joining me again this week. Indeed, I am |
| 0:32.7 | back out into the deep woods of Minnesota here and the trees are turning |
| 0:38.6 | getting that fall look. It's coming on and that tells us that winter's right around the corner. |
| 0:44.3 | A lot of people will be going south. I'll be staying here. I like winter. I like the cold. It doesn't bother me so much. |
| 0:50.6 | In fact, I like all four of the seasons. That's one of the beautiful things about living in Minnesota |
| 0:56.8 | and especially out by the lakes is that it always seems to change. There's always something, always something new. |
| 1:03.9 | Hey, I'm gonna be talking to you again this week about this theme of what if Jesus told stories about you? |

| 1:41.3 | eight, nine people and you say, I've got a story that I want to share with you. |
| 1:47.4 | Everybody starts on equal ground. It's like a level playing field and I say, yeah, tell me a story. |
| 1:54.3 | And some of the people will say, well, you know, at the end, that was a good story and then other people |
| 2:00.7 | will think, wow, that was a good story. I sure wish my brother was here to hear that one. |
| 2:08.2 | Or I wish my boss was here, my cousin or whoever, my wife. |
| 2:13.5 | And those are the people that are not really listening for themselves. And then some people will |
| 2:18.6 | say, Lord, were you talking about me? In fact, it might seem so obvious to you that he was talking |
