0:00.0 | Howdy and welcome to the Breakaway Podcast. Thanks for listening. Breakaway is a Bible study recorded on the campus of Texas A&M University. |
0:14.0 | Today's message is from Breakaway's Executive Director, Timothy Atik. |
0:18.8 | We hope you enjoy the message. Thank you. Well, good evening. Welcome back to Breakway. I'm so glad to be here with you tonight. |
