0:06.9	outreach of authentic intimacy. So today's conversation is going to be with a friend and an author
0:14.7	that some of you may know about. His name is Jay Stringer and he is the author of the book Unwanted.
0:20.1	He's also a licensed mental health counselor and he was on Job with Julie a number years ago
0:26.2	talking about his book Unwanted. That book I think has been transformational for many people
0:32.9	and it's one that I often recommend. Well in the years since Jay wrote that book he's continued
