Then it pleased 126 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: him to reveal his son to me, so I would 127 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 3: proclaim the good news about Jesus to the gentiles.

I didn't 181 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 3: want to raise kids who are going out into the 182 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 3: world looking for the world to tell them who they 183 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: were looking for, their friends, to tell them who they 184 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: were looking for the situation.
