| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jeff Kaven Show, where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and evangelization, |
| 0:07.2 | putting it all together and living as activated disciples. |
| 0:12.7 | This is show 412, thoughts about the L.A. Fires. |
| 0:30.0 | I appreciate you joining me this week to talk about the LA fires a bit and what our response might be, certainly a different show than we normally have. |
| 0:34.6 | If you're new to the show, welcome. |
| 0:36.4 | We typically talk about being disciples of the |
| 0:39.5 | Lord, studying scripture, and doing the work that God has called us to do. And I think, while this |
