0:55
Chris Bellington. And today I have Daniel
0:57
and Ellis. Okay, do the last name
1:00
for me. Madri. I had it
1:02
down to, I would have got it right. Come on,
1:04
should have gone for it. I should have gone for
1:06
it. And Daniel and
1:08
Ellis lead our
1:10
Moral Revolution ministry, and
1:14
we're super excited. Thanks for being on. You've been
1:16
on once before, right? We
1:18
did one of your live Q&As. That's
1:20
why. It was electric. It was
1:22
a lot of fun. You really, you really showed
1:24
them right. It was by popular demand that we're
1:26
having you back right there. Super electric. Oh, man.
1:29
Well, we're honored to be here. We're,
1:31
seriously, I'm honored to have you here, and honored
1:33
to have you leading our
1:36
Moral Revolution ministry. That's pretty
1:38
exciting. So for you, you know, and
1:40
I don't actually fully remember your story,
1:42
although I did a long interview with
1:44
you guys. So what
1:47
is your story? Let's talk a little bit about moral
1:50
revolution, sexuality, like what's your
1:52
story? What's your... What
1:56
a loaded question. Why are you leading a sex
1:58
ministry? Yeah, we either have
2:01
a lot of experience or you don't have any
2:03
of that. Way to just wade into the deep
2:05
end right out the gate. It's the first question
2:07
that we put together for y'all. I
2:09
love it. Well, actually, it's a really unique
2:12
story, which is one of the reasons why
2:14
it was so
2:16
easy for us, if we can use that
2:18
word, to pick up our
2:20
lives in Austin, Texas and move here.
2:23
It starts with Ellis. She was really the beginning
2:25
of this. So, babe, why don't you tell the
2:27
story? Yeah, so Daniel and I were- Please.
2:31
Let me just set you up to tell the story. Exactly.
2:34
Thank you, baby. Daniel and I last year,
2:36
it was actually last summer, so not even
2:38
quite a year ago, we were on our
2:41
way to a student conference in Birmingham, Alabama.
2:44
And we were in the
2:46
student ministry world. We run
2:48
a company that resources youth
2:50
pastors and that's our lane. We
2:52
were running in it, running hard. Well, you
2:54
know nothing about sex then if you're
2:56
in the youth pastor lane, for sure.
3:00
That's a joke of course. We had written curriculum about it, but
3:03
we were very much not in
3:05
the more revolution lane at the time. And
3:09
I was listening to a podcast
3:12
and over a few months, I had
3:14
really felt God stirring my heart towards
3:17
some of the issues of sexuality that we're
3:19
seeing come up in America. Daniel
3:21
and I have been married for not even two and
3:23
a half years yet. And
3:26
we don't have kids, but
3:28
we're starting to have conversations. Like when
3:30
should we have kids and
3:33
what would it look like to raise kids in today's
3:35
culture? And the more
3:37
we're having these conversations, the
3:40
more unrest I feel
3:42
within myself about the current
3:44
state of sexuality in America
3:47
and in the world at large. You want me
3:49
to pick up the conversation? Please do. So
3:51
we're in the car, right? We're driving to this conference. This is
3:53
how this story should have been told. Ellis
3:56
rips off her headphones. All
4:01
but slams them into the floor board. And she
4:03
said, I am not okay with the current state
4:06
of sexuality in America. This
4:08
is the way you should have told that story. You're right.
4:11
I'm like, you know, you do your swerve, you try
4:14
to stay composed and I'm like, yeah, yeah. Me
4:18
neither. Yeah, I'm not okay with that.
4:21
You know, and so I'm like, I'm not
4:23
okay with that. I'm like, I'm not
4:25
okay with that. I'm like, I'm not
4:27
okay with that. I'm not okay with
4:29
that. You know, and so she's like,
4:32
you know, what's happening with transgenderism and
4:35
cultural homosexuality and the pornography epidemic.
4:37
And she just goes on and
4:40
on and on. And this is
4:42
very out of character for her.
4:44
She's not typically one to just, you
4:47
know, go off on a rant. The anointing of
4:49
the Lord fell upon you. That's what it felt
4:51
like. And it burned the side of my leg,
4:53
which is why I wear shoes. Yeah. You're
4:56
on out. And
4:58
so I said, babe, I was like, you
5:00
sound pretty passionate about that. And she
5:02
said, it's gone beyond
5:04
passion. She's like, I feel like it's a
5:06
burden from the Lord. And she's
5:09
like, I'm supposed to use my
5:11
voice in this next season to
5:13
speak on issues of morality. And
5:15
it needs to come from a
5:17
biblical perspective, not a political one. Because
5:20
she's very, she keeps up with
5:23
politics a lot. And she was just
5:25
like setting the record. And
5:28
I said, because I realized she was serious.
5:32
And you're in a new marriage. I
5:34
put on my discernment hat. I was just gonna
5:36
go. And I said, wow. I
5:40
said, I have
5:42
no wisdom for you other
5:45
than you should pray about this. I
5:47
said, you could go to TikTok and you could
5:49
probably put together a pretty good rant. But
5:52
I think you should pray
5:54
about it and see what God says. And
5:56
later that day, we get to the... We
6:00
get checked in, we're on the side, we get
6:03
into worship. And it feels like just a big
6:05
reprieve and
6:08
now shifting gears to me. I'm
6:10
having this moment with God in
6:12
worship, and I sit down,
6:14
which, you know, very uncommon until now. Until now,
6:16
I go to Bethel, now I have to sit
6:18
down because my legs are tired. But. Bro,
6:22
you need to get your legs. You
6:24
need to get some exercise going there. Just
6:27
joined a gym, okay? So we're working on it.
6:29
There we go. You're like, why did you sign
6:31
up? I was like, have you been to Bethel
6:33
worship service? This will be the before
6:35
shot, we'll bring you on in six months. And
6:38
now the after shot. It's about the sculpted thighs you
6:40
have. Exactly. Continuing.
6:43
So I sit down in worship and
6:46
this thought comes to my mind. We're
6:48
just, you know, we talked about, should we
6:50
give the, you know, the unedited version of
6:52
what actually happened that day? And she's like,
6:54
you know what, I think we should. This
6:56
is our story. I don't think, you haven't heard
6:58
this part of it, Chris. I don't think so either.
7:00
No, so I sat down in worship. I haven't
7:03
heard this story told by him like this. The
7:06
rip the head set off and his legs
7:09
were burning. I
7:13
sit down in worship and I said, Lord, I
7:17
would love to meet Chris Vallatin. I
7:20
said, he has meant so much
7:22
to me in my spiritual walk. And
7:25
I don't know, I don't
7:28
know how I could just thank him enough for
7:31
just the way he's shaped
7:33
me through resources. Obviously we have
7:36
no relationship we've never met. And
7:38
I said, God, I don't know how that would
7:41
ever happen. We're not connected. For
7:43
clarity, we're not at this conference. No,
7:45
this isn't even a Bethel cut. Like Bethel
7:47
worship wasn't even there. Like Jen Johnson wasn't
7:49
even there. She's everywhere. Wow, yes. It
7:52
was a thought. But I just think
7:54
that, you know, it's almost
7:57
like people think that God having
8:00
boundaries is for control.
8:04
And the reality is God puts boundaries
8:06
in place to protect. Like
8:08
there are boundaries at our house. You
8:10
know, our house has walls. It has
8:12
a roof. It has, you know what
8:14
I mean? I've never laid
8:16
in bed at night and thought, man,
8:18
I wish these walls weren't here. Really
8:21
holding me back from living my best life. Right,
8:23
like these walls keep people,
8:25
keep things that are inside
8:27
protected and safe. And
8:30
it keeps dangers that are lurking outside.
8:32
It keeps those out. And
8:34
yet we would be looking at the
8:36
boundaries that God has and say, you're
8:38
trying to control, you're trying to, you
8:40
know, and I just think, man, what
8:42
culture needs is an accurate view of
8:45
how and why created sex
8:47
and how great it is when it's
8:49
within his design. I think culture
8:51
has also reduced sex down
8:53
to pleasure. And
8:55
if sex is strictly pleasure, then go
8:58
get more of it. Exercise
9:01
has an element of
9:03
pleasure. Eating has an
9:05
element of pleasure. Sex
9:07
obviously has an element of pleasure.
9:09
Okay, well, you know, eating and
9:11
exercise are great within their proper
9:14
place, you know, and so
9:16
is sex. But if it's just
9:18
for pleasure, then it begins to break
9:20
down. And so,
9:22
because souls are involved. And so you
9:25
can look at the pleasurable side of
9:27
sex, but then you start to think
9:29
about all of the people whose hearts
9:31
have literally been ripped in half. And
9:34
those who have been on the brink
9:36
of suicide because the one they gave
9:38
themselves to left them because they were
9:40
no longer interested. And I think if
9:43
culture understood the bonding power and the
9:45
unity side of, and the two becoming
9:47
one, I think they would
9:49
be a lot more careful approaching,
9:51
you know, sex with another person, largely
9:54
even people who they barely know.
9:56
Totally. It's interesting, you know, there's
9:58
a story of one a day. David's sons, his
10:02
name is... Amen. Yeah, and
10:04
he rapes Tamar, his
10:07
sister, and it says that
10:09
his passion for her was so, like
10:12
he was so passionate, he loved her so much. He
10:14
was sick over it. He was sick over it. Then
10:17
he sleeps with her in a rape, and
10:21
literally right after the act of sex,
10:24
he can't stand her, and literally
10:26
his hatred for her was as
10:29
great as his passion for her.
10:31
And he literally throws her out of the house.
10:34
And it's, you know, I've read that story
10:36
so many times, and then her
10:40
brother Absalon tries to save the day and
10:42
makes it worse, and it's a
10:44
perpetual case of what happens through immorality
10:48
and rape. But it's
10:51
the conquering, sometimes
10:53
the passion for
10:55
conquering a woman. There's
10:58
something about our culture in
11:01
which it's almost like
11:03
winning a game. It's almost
11:05
like, you know, and then on
11:08
the woman's side, Tamar is such
11:10
a prophetic metaphor of
11:12
where culture is like, I'm going
11:14
to sleep with this man, and I'm gonna intentionally
11:16
get pregnant, which is a very
11:18
common story, like way more common than
11:20
people might think. And
11:22
then he'll bond with me. And
11:25
he's in it for a totally different
11:27
reason. Right. Like he's
11:30
climbing a mountain, he's winning a
11:32
fight, he's conquering
11:35
a virgin, and he
11:37
doesn't bond. And
11:41
then part of what you were talking about, we have
11:43
a whole broken culture over this, this
11:46
Ammon, Tamar is a big
11:48
part of our broken culture. And then we
11:50
have the Absalons who are coming in, the
11:53
end of that story, of course, is he kills
11:56
his brother Ammon because his father
11:58
David will not bring justice. to any
12:00
of the situation. And this is our culture.
12:02
Like, instead of bringing justice,
12:04
instead of bringing protection like David should
12:06
have brought to Tamar
12:09
and correction to Ammon, he
12:12
relegates himself to passiveness
12:15
and it creates a culture of violence
12:17
through Absalon, whose
12:21
name means my God is peace. And
12:23
like this dynamic is actually at work in
12:26
our culture. All of those four
12:28
dynamics are at work in our culture. And
12:31
it's actually demonic. And Absalon
12:33
actually ends up dying. David,
12:35
he kills Ammon. David, as
12:38
men, ended up killing Absalon. And
12:43
then, you know, in the midst of all that, Absalon,
12:49
when his sister comes to live with
12:51
him and he has another daughter, his
12:54
wife gives birth to a daughter,
12:56
and he names her Tamar. And
12:58
the injustice is growing. It's gaining
13:00
cycle. It's getting
13:02
stronger. And injustice just gave
13:04
birth to more injustice. And the
13:07
outside of that is
13:09
that you've got passive people who do nothing,
13:11
who should be kings, who should do something.
13:14
You've got a person who's trying to bring justice,
13:16
but doesn't know how to, which is, you know,
13:18
you've got a whole community of
13:20
people who aren't moral, who
13:23
are being shamed and
13:25
condemned through the Absalon. Like,
13:31
this deserves condemnation. It's like,
13:34
and there's no, and in all
13:37
of that, there's no healthy way
13:39
to bring Tamar back to health
13:42
and to bring correction to
13:44
the Ammons of the world. Like, you look at
13:47
that story and you think, well, Tamar, I mean, not
13:49
Tamar, Ammon could have made a
13:51
different decision. It's like, yes, he should have
13:53
never done that to begin with. Never. But
13:55
if there was a courageous father who
13:58
wasn't afraid to... to bring
14:00
justice the moment they saw something
14:02
out of line, then
14:05
this wouldn't have spiraled so
14:07
deeply. Totally. I also
14:09
wanna make the observation that
14:12
as Ammon is about to rape her,
14:15
she literally says, do not do
14:17
this. Don't you know that if
14:19
you ask your father, he won't withhold
14:21
me from you. And
14:23
I think that that right
14:26
there, the thing where
14:28
good fathers know how to give good gifts, every
14:30
good and perfect thing comes from the Lord. He
14:33
who finds a wife finds a good thing. She
14:36
literally gave him the key
14:38
to avoid his own murder,
14:41
her rape, David's passivity and
14:43
Absalom's, Justice. Exactly.
14:46
And yet Ammon. All because he
14:48
was unwilling to go to his father.
14:51
And so when it comes to- But he didn't
14:53
have a right view of his father. Obviously
14:56
he didn't believe that his father had good
14:58
gifts to give him. Yeah, she's like, my
15:00
father would allow you to marry me. Why
15:05
would you steal something that
15:07
you could actually be given for
15:09
free? Right. And the whole thing,
15:11
I mean, this isn't the
15:13
only dynamic happening in culture. I've never
15:15
actually taught on this publicly, but
15:19
these four dimensions are
15:21
at work in our culture. Truly. The
15:24
people trying to bring justice, but they
15:27
end up creating a worse culture. Chaos.
15:29
Chaos. You
15:32
got the person giving birth to
15:34
another Tamar, naming
15:36
them after the injustice. So it's injustice giving
15:38
birth to injustice. You get Ammon who doesn't
15:41
control his sex
15:43
drive and doesn't just
15:47
does whatever he feels. He's like an alley cat. He
15:49
just does whatever. Then he doesn't want anything to do
15:51
with her afterwards, which I wish every
15:54
daughter could hear this conversation. I
15:56
wish every father could have
15:58
a conversation with his daughter. because men
16:01
and women do not think alike. I
16:03
wish people could get
16:05
like the idea that you
16:07
can have two mothers or two fathers, that
16:09
fathers and mothers are interchangeable. This is part
16:11
of the culture right now. Totally. This is
16:13
part of the gay
16:16
movement. You can have two fathers,
16:18
it is as ridiculous as the
16:21
transgender male running and
16:23
competing with females and
16:26
fathers and mothers standing by going, I don't see
16:28
anything happening. Do you see anything happening? I don't
16:30
see anything happening. And I'm like,
16:32
this is ridiculous. It's like, these are not
16:34
interchangeable roles. And
16:37
this is all the dysfunction of
16:40
fathers who have, and I'm not talking about the
16:42
role of males right now, I'm talking about the
16:44
role of fathers. Can we
16:46
say fathers and mothers? I have not stepped
16:48
in and said, whoa, whoa, wait, this is
16:50
dysfunctional. Hey, whoa, this
16:52
is not the way it's
16:55
supposed to be. So
16:57
this is the mission of moral revolution. This is
17:00
it right here. It's no small mission. No
17:02
small mission. Absolutely not. It's gonna
17:04
be two or three years before we actually transform the world.
17:06
Come on. We've got a couple of years to go. But
17:08
we're working on it every day. We're working on it every
17:10
day. Good, we thought you were gonna give us six months.
17:14
No, no, that's, what
17:16
are the most common questions and issues that
17:18
come up with moral revolution? Gosh,
17:20
there's tons of them, right? There are so many. I
17:23
will say this, we were discussing this
17:25
earlier. We recently did a podcast series
17:27
that we called Burning Questions because
17:30
we just put it out to
17:32
our audience. What are your most
17:34
burning questions about sex, dating, boundaries,
17:36
sexuality? And I mean,
17:39
masturbation is like the number one thing
17:41
that people ask questions about. Yeah, especially
17:44
among Christians, right? Especially among Christians.
17:46
Pornography is huge. People
17:48
wanna know what's permissible before marriage,
17:50
in marriage, after they've been divorced.
17:52
Like at any point they wanna
17:54
know what can we do and when.
17:58
Is there anything we can still do to get to heaven? And
18:01
I will say this, I really think that
18:03
almost every question we got boils
18:05
down to the phrase, how far is too
18:08
far? Almost everybody
18:10
wants to know in various seasons of life,
18:12
whether I've got a partner, whether I don't,
18:14
how far is too far? And
18:16
people have the most creative scenarios that
18:18
they find themselves in. I
18:21
mean, she does, you know, Ellis
18:23
handles our social media and she
18:25
will read to me messages where
18:27
people are like, okay, so picture
18:29
this and lay out a
18:31
scenario and they're asking us for wisdom.
18:33
And I'm like, hold on, let me
18:35
go to the mountain top. I don't
18:37
know what to tell this person because
18:39
they've got themselves in a whole situation.
18:42
Yeah. A pickle if you will. But
18:44
one of the things that we have noticed is
18:47
a lot of it does come down
18:49
to just boundaries, whether it's boundaries with
18:51
myself, boundaries with other people, boundaries within
18:53
a relationship before, after, during, you know,
18:56
and all this stuff. And
18:58
I think part of the part of the fallacy
19:00
of that is that once
19:02
again, we're reducing a relationship with God
19:04
and intimacy with Him and His word
19:07
for a set of rules. And this
19:09
is the nature of man. This is
19:11
what we do. Yeah. Give
19:13
me the rules. Let me know the play and I'll
19:16
run. I just want it. Yeah. I
19:18
just want to follow the rules. I just want to check the box and say that
19:20
I did. I
19:22
mean, the entire point of the gospel is that we
19:24
couldn't check the box. Like Jesus had
19:27
to come because they
19:29
tried to check the box method. The entire
19:31
whole testament did not work. Just
19:33
sacrifice these turtle doves for my lack
19:36
of box checking today. Now that don't,
19:38
you know, don't hear what we're not saying.
19:40
There's absolutely a standard, but God's
19:42
grace empowers us to live the
19:44
standard that He's called us to.
19:47
And so, you know, when it comes down to that,
19:49
when it boils down to that question, how far is
19:51
too far? Mo Isom Aiken says it says
19:54
it so well. She's like, it's the wrong question. You
19:56
should be asking how close can
19:58
I possibly get? to God.
20:01
How close can, if that's the
20:03
focus, then everything else, it
20:05
falls into place. It really does. And
20:09
I might misquote this,
20:11
but Psalm 119 says, how
20:13
can a young man keep
20:15
his way pure? And it's by...
20:19
Living according to the word. By living according, it's
20:21
the second part. I was like, man, the
20:23
question, got it. Learning a question. He would
20:25
go for it now. And
20:28
the answer to that was what? Yeah,
20:30
it's literally by living according to the
20:33
word. Okay. Well, whenever
20:35
we develop that rich relationship with
20:37
God, where his word is more
20:41
than just a bunch of letters or
20:43
theology studies or anything like that, but
20:46
it becomes a life-giving
20:49
guide to our soul
20:51
and nourishment to our spirit, then
20:54
all of a sudden, purity becomes a
20:56
little more attainable. Yeah. You know what
20:58
I mean? It's difficult. You're
21:00
saved, you're unsaved, wherever you come from,
21:03
purity is very difficult, but it is
21:05
not unobtainable. How do we do it?
21:08
Staying close to the word, living according to
21:10
his word. Yeah. It's really good.
21:12
What are some of the most impactful
21:14
discussions you've had? It's
21:16
kind of probably around the same, almost
21:19
the same question, but... Yeah.
21:21
I had this guy named Jay Valatin on the... Oh, no.
21:24
Yeah, he crushed it. Yeah, he's
21:26
a crusher right there. He talked
21:28
about anxiety in relationships. I
21:31
feel like a lot of the reason
21:33
why people don't get into a relationship
21:35
is because they feel anxious for
21:38
a number of reasons. In fact,
21:40
he shared the story with him
21:43
and Lauren, where Lauren was
21:45
like, I don't
21:47
know how I'm feeling right now. I
21:49
like you. This is good. This is...
21:51
But I don't know. And obviously, in
21:53
a way, he really diffused it and
21:58
tore back the veil and said, okay, well, This
22:00
is exactly what it is. And you just
22:02
need to consider what you're getting into and
22:05
if that's what you want. And I think
22:07
that for so- This is their dating, moving
22:10
towards marriage story with the man
22:12
who's been divorced and has three little kids. That
22:15
makes things complicated. Exactly. That can bring
22:17
anxiety to her in the dating process.
22:19
That can bring anxiety to him in
22:21
the dating process. There could be the
22:23
anxiety of I've never dated and now
22:25
I'm older. There could be the anxiety
22:27
of I've dated poorly and now it's
22:29
time to get married. There's so many
22:32
anxieties that can creep into a
22:34
conversation. So I think even interviewing
22:36
him, I walked away and I
22:38
was like, I'm feeling better
22:40
about my marriage. I'm feeling great, but
22:42
I'm feeling better. And so I feel
22:44
like that's been one of the barriers
22:46
to marriage that we see in singles.
22:49
And I know that you talk about
22:51
that a lot where you're like, look
22:53
around the room. Look at these single
22:55
people. You can't come into a
22:57
room like this with all these beautiful single
22:59
people and not get a date. Let's
23:02
just start asking. Oh yeah, they've done
23:04
the impossible though. Let me just say
23:06
this. They've taken the,
23:08
nothing's impossible with God for a whole
23:10
nother level. Truly a house of miracles.
23:13
How did you navigate this and still be
23:15
single? The school ministry like full of beautiful
23:18
women and guys like, well, I've been
23:20
able to find anybody. Bro,
23:23
let's come over here. Let me put my hand on
23:25
your eyes and open your eyes. Yeah. Exactly.
23:28
Exactly. We like to
23:30
ask this question kind of
23:32
is our final finale here. As leaders
23:34
moral revolution, how do you
23:36
find your role as cultural catalyst? And what does it
23:38
mean to be a cultural catalyst in this context? You
23:42
know, Because it's called cultural
23:44
catalyst. Imagine that. Yeah. I'm
23:47
familiar. I think a catalyst in and of
23:49
itself is something that causes an action to happen.
23:54
And I can't think culturally
23:57
of anything that inspires more action than
23:59
courage. Courage is
24:01
contagious. And it's
24:04
funny, the conversations we've been having on the
24:06
podcast, there's clips that go out on social
24:08
media and we're out here talking about everything
24:10
you can imagine and we're
24:12
relatively new to the job. So we're still getting
24:15
texts from friends who are like, I'm so glad
24:17
that's you having that conversation. It's not me.
24:21
And so we're getting texts like that. But
24:23
I think at the end of the day,
24:25
courage is contagious. And we came
24:28
here because God told us to basically,
24:32
he said, this is what I'm doing with your
24:34
life in this season. And then he opened the
24:36
door accordingly. And we walked through it because that's
24:39
what the Lord asked of us. And
24:41
so my hope is that people
24:43
would hear the conversations that we
24:45
are willing to have in a
24:47
studio, on a
24:49
microphone, on social media, whenever you're seeing
24:51
this clip and go, if they can
24:53
stand for what God says
24:56
is right and good and pure
24:58
and holy, then I can stand for
25:00
that in my life too. I can stand for
25:02
that in my relationships. I can live that way
25:04
in my marriage. I can raise my kids to
25:06
know what God's plan is for
25:10
sex and sexuality. And so I think
25:13
courage would be the number one
25:15
catalyst in this conversation. But it's
25:17
going to take people to stand
25:20
up and say, like you
25:22
said, David was passive in the story
25:24
of Tamar and Ammon. It's going
25:26
to take some people to say, I refuse to
25:28
be passive. I will speak out on issues like
25:30
this. She's got me hype right now. I'm
25:33
about to just, let's go. If
25:35
there was a table in front of you, you'd flip it. Flip it
25:37
over, flip the table over. Well,

25:44

25:49

25:51

26:00
working on the TikTok. Working on TikTok. I
26:03
don't know, TikTok's gonna still be here. You
26:06
know, that's what we're debating every day. This
26:08
is a sinking ship. Thank

26:31
for 20-year-olds,
26:34

26:38
if I've fallen, how
26:41
can the Lord restore my virginity? What you
26:43
can, all of this is part of moral
26:46
revolution. And by the way, we have a
26:48
movement inside of moral revolution called Change, which
26:50
is led by two people who
26:53
were formerly homosexuals. And they're
26:55
doing a wonderful job. There's just really hundreds
26:57
and hundreds and hundreds of
26:59
people, thousands actually, who are
27:01
coming out of that movement
27:03
and are finding the restoration
27:05
of their purity, the restoration of
27:07
their relationships, even restoration of their
27:09
marriages. And so I just wanna
27:12
encourage you, like this is
27:14
a new day. The
27:17
day is dawning and there is just
27:19
