\n00:00:01,360 –> 00:00:03,840
\nWelcome to the good Chris
\nAdelphian Talks podcast. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:08,600
\nThis is brother Brian.
\nThis week’s talk is another one <\/p>\n
\n00:00:08,600 –> 00:00:13,520
\nof the spotlighted Chris
\nAdelphian podcasts that we think<\/p>\n
\n00:00:13,600 –> 00:00:16,400
\nyou would also benefit from
\nbeing tuned into. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:17,800 –> 00:00:24,440
\nThis one is brother Sam Taylor’s
\nPause to Consider, which she’s <\/p>\n
\n00:00:24,440 –> 00:00:26,640
\nrun for a few years now on and
\noff. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:27,880 –> 00:00:34,960
\nAnd the format is a very focused
\ndevotion, usually no longer than<\/p>\n
\n00:00:35,040 –> 00:00:41,960
\n8 to 10 minutes, that plays off
\nof famous phrases or more <\/p>\n
\n00:00:41,960 –> 00:00:49,880
\ncommonly, historical interesting
\nstories as a mirror to a larger <\/p>\n
\n00:00:49,880 –> 00:00:52,560
\nand more impactful spiritual
\nlesson. <\/p>\n
\n00:00:54,840 –> 00:00:57,840
\nNow, this podcast and the
\nperspective that Brother Sam <\/p>\n
\n00:00:57,840 –> 00:01:01,680
\nbrings out has inspired many
\nother talks. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:02,760 –> 00:01:06,200
\nI find that of this particular
\nseries, many of them are repeat <\/p>\n
\n00:01:06,200 –> 00:01:10,120
\nlistens because the stories just
\nstick with you so easily. <\/p>\n
\n00:01:10,560 –> 00:01:12,880
\nAnd if you listen to one, once
\nyou get into a bunch of them, <\/p>\n
\n00:01:12,960 –> 00:01:16,680
\nyou’ll see what I mean.
\nSo the one that you’re about to <\/p>\n
\n00:01:16,680 –> 00:01:24,000
\nlisten to is called Of Bombers
\nand Biases, which refers to a <\/p>\n
\n00:01:24,080 –> 00:01:33,880
\nflawed logic about plane damage
\nin World War 2 and how we can <\/p>\n
\n00:01:33,880 –> 00:01:39,600
\noverlook the needs of those in
\nour community that don’t fit the<\/p>\n
\n00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:45,440
\ntypical mold.
\nBrother Sam speaks from the <\/p>\n
\n00:01:45,440 –> 00:01:51,840
\nheart like few can, and I hope
\nyou’re able to appreciate well <\/p>\n
\n00:01:51,840 –> 00:01:57,360
\nlesson he’s trying to bring out.
\nThis was a really hard choice to<\/p>\n
\n00:01:57,360 –> 00:02:01,480
\nnarrow down.
\nSo I’d also highly recommend <\/p>\n
\n00:02:01,480 –> 00:02:04,840
\nthat if you enjoyed this one,
\nimmediately go and listen to the<\/p>\n
\n00:02:04,840 –> 00:02:08,840
\nnext one after this, which is
\nenduring the spiritual siege. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:10,520 –> 00:02:14,400
\nSo as always, we hope that this
\nstrengthens your faith and <\/p>\n
\n00:02:14,400 –> 00:02:18,080
\nbrightens your day.
\nFrom the podcast, pause to <\/p>\n
\n00:02:18,080 –> 00:02:24,040
\nconsider Brother Sam Taylor of
\nBombers and Biases. <\/p>\n
\n00:02:58,080 –> 00:03:02,080
\nPause to consider the podcast
\nwhere you put your busy day on. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:05,880
\nPause to consider spiritual
\nencouragement and wisdom on your<\/p>\n
\n00:03:05,880 –> 00:03:12,800
\nwalk towards God’s Kingdom.
\nThanks for joining me. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:13,480 –> 00:03:16,520
\nI’m Sam Taylor, here to get you
\nthinking about the Word of God. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:18,560 –> 00:03:21,560
\nAt the height of World War 2,
\nthe Allied powers conducted <\/p>\n
\n00:03:21,560 –> 00:03:24,240
\nstudies on how to reduce losses
\nof their bomber aircraft to <\/p>\n
\n00:03:24,240 –> 00:03:27,240
\nenemy fire.
\nThe initial plan was to study <\/p>\n
\n00:03:27,240 –> 00:03:30,160
\nthe planes that made it back to
\nbase to study their damaged <\/p>\n
\n00:03:30,160 –> 00:03:34,320
\nareas.
\nBut it was Abraham Vold, a <\/p>\n
\n00:03:34,320 –> 00:03:38,080
\nJewish Hungarian mathematician
\nwith the Statistical Research <\/p>\n
\n00:03:38,080 –> 00:03:41,920
\nGroup at Columbia University,
\nthat came up with a novel idea. <\/p>\n
\n00:03:43,200 –> 00:03:46,640
\nVold recognized that
\nsurvivorship bias was skewing <\/p>\n
\n00:03:46,640 –> 00:03:49,800
\nthe data, as the only planes
\nthey could study were the ones <\/p>\n
\n00:03:49,800 –> 00:03:52,520
\nthat returned.
\nInstead of reinforcing the <\/p>\n
\n00:03:52,520 –> 00:03:56,200
\ndamaged areas that were proven
\nto handle damage, he proposed <\/p>\n
\n00:03:56,320 –> 00:03:59,720
\nthey reinforce the areas of the
\nplanes with the least amount of <\/p>\n
\n00:03:59,720 –> 00:04:03,120
\ndamage as planes.
\nDamage in those areas weren’t <\/p>\n
\n00:04:03,120 –> 00:04:07,080
\ncoming back by considering the
\nabsence of information from <\/p>\n
\n00:04:07,080 –> 00:04:09,320
\ndestroyed planes that couldn’t
\nbe represented. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:09,880 –> 00:04:14,120
\nAbraham Vald’s understanding of
\nsurvivorship bias potentially <\/p>\n
\n00:04:14,120 –> 00:04:17,399
\nsave the lives of thousands of
\nAllied pilots and crewmen. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:18,880 –> 00:04:24,720
\nSurvivorship bias distorts our
\nworldview by having us believe <\/p>\n
\n00:04:24,720 –> 00:04:28,320
\nsuccess is achievable just by
\nworking hard. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:31,880
\nWhen we hear about a famous
\nsinger who had nothing but <\/p>\n
\n00:04:31,880 –> 00:04:35,920
\nfollowed their dreams until they
\nsucceeded, well, we don’t hear <\/p>\n
\n00:04:35,920 –> 00:04:40,640
\nthe countless stories of untold
\nthousands of people who also <\/p>\n
\n00:04:40,640 –> 00:04:43,880
\ntried to follow their dream, but
\nthey couldn’t catch a break. <\/p>\n
\n00:04:45,080 –> 00:04:48,960
\nBy seeing one person become
\nsuccessful, we’re led to believe<\/p>\n
\n00:04:49,320 –> 00:04:53,480
\ntheir story tells the whole
\npicture, that they somehow tried<\/p>\n
\n00:04:53,480 –> 00:04:58,080
\nharder or deserve success more.
\nAnd we could succeed too, if we <\/p>\n
\n00:04:58,080 –> 00:05:00,360
\njust tried.
\nAnd if we just proved it, we <\/p>\n
\n00:05:00,360 –> 00:05:03,880
\ndeserved it.
\nBut the most accurate and <\/p>\n
\n00:05:03,880 –> 00:05:07,080
\nimportant information should
\ncome from the people whose <\/p>\n
\n00:05:07,080 –> 00:05:14,440
\nvoices aren’t heard.
\nThroughout the Bible, God <\/p>\n
\n00:05:14,440 –> 00:05:17,840
\ncommanded Israel to especially
\ntend to the needs of the <\/p>\n
\n00:05:17,840 –> 00:05:21,520
\nsojourners, the fatherless, and
\nthe widows among them. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:22,640 –> 00:05:25,680
\nThey were the marginalized
\npeople in their communities that<\/p>\n
\n00:05:25,680 –> 00:05:29,640
\nwere overlooked.
\nThey were the ones who weren’t <\/p>\n
\n00:05:29,640 –> 00:05:34,800
\nheard.
\nLet’s read from Deuteronomy 24 <\/p>\n
\n00:05:34,800 –> 00:05:39,040
\nverses 17 through 22 to see what
\nprovisions God had in place for <\/p>\n
\n00:05:39,040 –> 00:05:40,720
\nthose who couldn’t speak for
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:42,640 –> 00:05:45,320
\nYou shall not pervert the
\njustice due to the sojourner or <\/p>\n
\n00:05:45,320 –> 00:05:49,480
\nto the fatherless, or take a
\nwidow’s garment in pledge, but <\/p>\n
\n00:05:49,480 –> 00:05:53,480
\nyou shall remember that you were
\na slave in Egypt, and the Lord <\/p>\n
\n00:05:53,480 –> 00:05:54,880
\nyour God redeemed you from
\nthere. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:55,520 –> 00:05:57,640
\nTherefore, I command you to do
\nthis. <\/p>\n
\n00:05:58,520 –> 00:06:01,160
\nWhen you reap your harvest in
\nyour field and forget a sheaf in<\/p>\n
\n00:06:01,160 –> 00:06:04,160
\nthe field, you shall not go back
\nto get it. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:04,640 –> 00:06:08,360
\nIt shall be for the sojourner,
\nthe fatherless, and the widow, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:08,800 –> 00:06:11,840
\nthat the Lord your God may bless
\nyou in all the work of your <\/p>\n
\n00:06:11,840 –> 00:06:15,480
\nhands.
\nWhen you beat your olive trees, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:15,840 –> 00:06:17,720
\nyou shall not go over them
\nagain. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:21,760
\nIt shall be for the sojourner,
\nthe fatherless, and the widow. <\/p>\n
\n00:06:22,560 –> 00:06:24,920
\nWhen you gather the grapes of
\nyour vineyard, you shall not <\/p>\n
\n00:06:24,920 –> 00:06:27,960
\nstrip it afterward.
\nIt shall be for the sojourner, <\/p>\n
\n00:06:28,320 –> 00:06:33,240
\nthe fatherless, and the widow.
\nYou shall remember that you were<\/p>\n
\n00:06:33,240 –> 00:06:38,680
\na slave in the land of Egypt.
\nTherefore, I command you to do <\/p>\n
\n00:06:38,680 –> 00:06:43,240
\nthis.
\nGod appealed to the empathy of <\/p>\n
\n00:06:43,240 –> 00:06:46,720
\nthe children of Israel that were
\nonce oppressed in Egypt to <\/p>\n
\n00:06:46,720 –> 00:06:50,920
\nremind them of the importance of
\ncaring for those who couldn’t <\/p>\n
\n00:06:51,000 –> 00:06:54,760
\nadvocate for themselves.
\nThese vulnerable members of <\/p>\n
\n00:06:54,760 –> 00:06:59,120
\nsociety in ancient Israel serve
\nnot only as a constant reminder <\/p>\n
\n00:06:59,120 –> 00:07:03,160
\nof the compassion everyone
\nshould extend, but also a <\/p>\n
\n00:07:03,160 –> 00:07:08,120
\nreminder that without God’s
\ncare, all Israel would be <\/p>\n
\n00:07:08,120 –> 00:07:12,960
\nequally destitute and pitiable.
\nIt wasn’t hard work or <\/p>\n
\n00:07:12,960 –> 00:07:16,440
\nindustriousness that set anyone
\nabove being poor. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:17,200 –> 00:07:20,920
\nIt was God’s grace and the
\nexpectation that those afforded <\/p>\n
\n00:07:20,920 –> 00:07:24,640
\nmore grace would see themselves
\nas vehicles of God’s grace <\/p>\n
\n00:07:24,640 –> 00:07:29,920
\ntowards others.
\nWhich raises a question Who are <\/p>\n
\n00:07:29,920 –> 00:07:32,280
\nthe voiceless in our midst
\ntoday? <\/p>\n
\n00:07:33,760 –> 00:07:37,480
\nWhile we undoubtedly have
\nstrangers and widows and orphans<\/p>\n
\n00:07:37,480 –> 00:07:41,400
\namong us, they’re not the only
\none to struggle to be hurt. <\/p>\n
\n00:07:42,520 –> 00:07:46,440
\nThose fighting mental illnesses
\nsuch as depression, victims of <\/p>\n
\n00:07:46,480 –> 00:07:50,800
\npassive or active neglect, the
\nlonely and heartbroken are but a<\/p>\n
\n00:07:50,800 –> 00:07:57,600
\nfew of many groups that go
\nunrepresented because they often<\/p>\n
\n00:07:57,600 –> 00:08:01,240
\nfeel like they don’t belong and
\ntherefore don’t come together <\/p>\n
\n00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:02,440
\nwith the rest of their
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:04,160 –> 00:08:06,960
\nWhile tending to the needs of
\nthose present is a critical part<\/p>\n
\n00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:11,080
\nof pastoral care, we have an
\ninaccurate and incomplete <\/p>\n
\n00:08:11,080 –> 00:08:15,160
\npicture of the needs to be met
\nwhen we don’t factor in those <\/p>\n
\n00:08:15,160 –> 00:08:17,600
\nwho aren’t there to speak for
\nthemselves. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:19,640 –> 00:08:23,360
\nThe Lord Jesus recognized this
\nand try to explain it to those <\/p>\n
\n00:08:23,360 –> 00:08:26,440
\naround Him in Luke 15 verses one
\nthrough 7. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:29,040 –> 00:08:31,840
\nNow the tax collectors and
\nsinners, we’re all drawing near <\/p>\n
\n00:08:31,840 –> 00:08:34,159
\nto Him.
\nAnd the Pharisees and the <\/p>\n
\n00:08:34,159 –> 00:08:37,240
\nscribes grumbled, saying, this
\nman received sinners and eats <\/p>\n
\n00:08:37,240 –> 00:08:39,960
\nwith them.
\nSo he told them this parable. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:41,320 –> 00:08:44,840
\nWhat man of you having 100
\nsheep, if he has lost one of <\/p>\n
\n00:08:44,840 –> 00:08:48,720
\nthem, does not leave the 99 in
\nthe open country and go after <\/p>\n
\n00:08:48,720 –> 00:08:50,440
\nthe one that is lost until he
\nfinds it. <\/p>\n
\n00:08:51,240 –> 00:08:53,520
\nAnd when he has found it, he
\nlays it on his shoulders, <\/p>\n
\n00:08:53,520 –> 00:08:56,040
\nrejoicing.
\nAnd when he comes home, he calls<\/p>\n
\n00:08:56,040 –> 00:08:58,160
\ntogether his friends and his
\nneighbor, saying to them, <\/p>\n
\n00:08:58,480 –> 00:09:01,560
\nRejoice with me, for I have
\nfound my sheep that was lost. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:08,760
\nJust so I tell you, there will
\nbe more joy in heaven over 1 <\/p>\n
\n00:09:08,760 –> 00:09:14,280
\nSinner who repents than over 99
\nrighteous persons who need no <\/p>\n
\n00:09:14,280 –> 00:09:19,000
\nrepentance.
\nA major obstacle in <\/p>\n
\n00:09:19,000 –> 00:09:24,200
\nunderstanding the parable of the
\nLost sheep is our failure to <\/p>\n
\n00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:26,680
\nacknowledge our own survivorship
\nbias. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:28,040 –> 00:09:32,640
\nThough there were 99 sheep that
\nweren’t missing, they didn’t <\/p>\n
\n00:09:32,640 –> 00:09:35,040
\npaint the complete picture of
\nthe condition of the flock. <\/p>\n
\n00:09:36,160 –> 00:09:41,120
\nThe one missing sheep was as
\nimportant to the story as the <\/p>\n
\n00:09:41,120 –> 00:09:47,080
\n99.
\nHow often do we attribute one <\/p>\n
\n00:09:47,080 –> 00:09:51,840
\nperson straying from our flock
\nand becoming spiritually lost <\/p>\n
\n00:09:53,160 –> 00:09:58,280
\ndue to personal weakness?
\nHow frequently do we lament that<\/p>\n
\n00:09:59,320 –> 00:10:04,160
\nthey wouldn’t have fallen away
\nif they just worked harder, if <\/p>\n
\n00:10:04,160 –> 00:10:07,800
\nthey had done more Bible study,
\nif they had gone to Bible class <\/p>\n
\n00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:11,680
\nmore often?
\nHow different is this line of <\/p>\n
\n00:10:11,680 –> 00:10:14,880
\nthinking from reinforcing
\ndamaged areas of bomber planes <\/p>\n
\n00:10:14,880 –> 00:10:18,480
\nthat can still get back rather
\nthan focusing on what caused the<\/p>\n
\n00:10:18,480 –> 00:10:22,200
\nothers to crash?
\nWhen we believe this flawed <\/p>\n
\n00:10:22,200 –> 00:10:27,000
\nlogic, we failed to consider the
\nwords of Isaiah 53 verse 6. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:28,240 –> 00:10:31,840
\nAll we, like sheep, have gone
\nastray. <\/p>\n
\n00:10:32,520 –> 00:10:38,240
\nWe have turned everyone to His
\nown way, and the Lord has laid <\/p>\n
\n00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:44,040
\non Him the iniquity of us all.
\nWe’re all lost in one way or <\/p>\n
\n00:10:44,040 –> 00:10:48,880
\nanother, and Christ continually
\nseeks to bring us back to Him, <\/p>\n
\n00:10:48,880 –> 00:10:52,520
\nback to the fold.
\nThe difference between us <\/p>\n
\n00:10:52,520 –> 00:10:56,560
\ngetting back to God or
\ncontinuing to be lost it isn’t <\/p>\n
\n00:10:56,560 –> 00:11:00,320
\ndue to our own strength.
\nIt’s whether our vulnerabilities<\/p>\n
\n00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:03,960
\nare sufficiently reinforced to
\nwithstand the trials of life. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:10,600
\nIt’s up to us as God’s children
\nto ensure our community tends to<\/p>\n
\n00:11:10,600 –> 00:11:13,840
\nthe needs of the voiceless and
\nmarginalized among us. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:14,720 –> 00:11:18,560
\nWe need to be the ones looking
\nto see who’s missing and have <\/p>\n
\n00:11:18,560 –> 00:11:22,760
\nthe courage to ask what we
\naren’t doing to offer support. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:22,760 –> 00:11:25,240
\nOtherwise, things just won’t
\nchange. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:26,720 –> 00:11:29,080
\nAre there people struggling with
\nloneliness that aren’t around? <\/p>\n
\n00:11:30,000 –> 00:11:33,080
\nWell, what are we doing to
\nvalidate their struggle and to <\/p>\n
\n00:11:33,080 –> 00:11:36,520
\noffer them support?
\nWhat about those who work <\/p>\n
\n00:11:36,520 –> 00:11:41,120
\novernight and weekend shifts?
\nWhat are we doing to make them <\/p>\n
\n00:11:41,120 –> 00:11:45,040
\nfeel part of the community?
\nThere are countless needs that <\/p>\n
\n00:11:45,040 –> 00:11:48,520
\ngo unmet because we’re only
\nfocusing on those making it back<\/p>\n
\n00:11:48,520 –> 00:11:51,840
\nto base instead of focusing on
\nthose who are absent because <\/p>\n
\n00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:54,520
\ntheir trials prevent them from
\nbeing among us. <\/p>\n
\n00:11:55,480 –> 00:11:59,520
\nWe owe it to each other to be
\nwilling vehicles of God’s grace <\/p>\n
\n00:11:59,520 –> 00:12:02,480
\nand reconciliation to other
\nmembers of His family because <\/p>\n
\n00:12:02,760 –> 00:12:08,880
\nGod has extended to each of us
\nabundant grace to be freed from <\/p>\n
\n00:12:08,880 –> 00:12:13,840
\nsin through Christ Jesus.
\nSo let’s seek each other out. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:15,920 –> 00:12:21,680
\nLet’s strive to bind each other
\nup so that one day we might, as <\/p>\n
\n00:12:21,680 –> 00:12:26,920
\none body in Christ, see that
\nfulfillment of Ezekiel 34 verses<\/p>\n
\n00:12:26,920 –> 00:12:30,880
\n11 through 16, which we’ll read
\nto wrap up our time together. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:32,360 –> 00:12:37,520
\nFor thus says the Lord God,
\nBehold, I, I myself will search <\/p>\n
\n00:12:37,520 –> 00:12:39,320
\nfor my sheep and will seek them
\nout. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:40,280 –> 00:12:41,840
\nAs a shepherd seeks out his
\nflock. <\/p>\n
\n00:12:41,840 –> 00:12:45,360
\nWhen he is among his sheep that
\nhave been scattered, so will I <\/p>\n
\n00:12:45,360 –> 00:12:48,360
\nseek out my sheep.
\nAnd I will rescue them from all <\/p>\n
\n00:12:48,360 –> 00:12:50,800
\nplaces where they have been
\nscattered on a day of clouds and<\/p>\n
\n00:12:50,800 –> 00:12:53,320
\nthick darkness.
\nAnd I will bring them out from <\/p>\n
\n00:12:53,320 –> 00:12:56,240
\nthe peoples and gather them from
\nthe countries, and will bring <\/p>\n
\n00:12:56,240 –> 00:12:59,480
\nthem into their own land.
\nAnd I will feed them on the <\/p>\n
\n00:12:59,480 –> 00:13:01,840
\nmountains of Israel by the
\nravines. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:02,080 –> 00:13:05,960
\nAnd in all the inhabited places
\nof the country I will feed them <\/p>\n
\n00:13:05,960 –> 00:13:08,400
\nwith good pasture.
\nAnd on the mountain heights of <\/p>\n
\n00:13:08,400 –> 00:13:10,080
\nIsrael shall be their grazing
\nland. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:11,040 –> 00:13:14,560
\nThere they shall lie down in
\ngood grazing land and on rich <\/p>\n
\n00:13:14,560 –> 00:13:16,280
\npasture.
\nThey shall feed on the mountains<\/p>\n
\n00:13:16,280 –> 00:13:19,240
\nof Israel.
\nI myself will be the shepherd of<\/p>\n
\n00:13:19,240 –> 00:13:23,280
\nmy sheep, and I myself will make
\nthem lie down, declares the Lord<\/p>\n
\n00:13:23,280 –> 00:13:27,440
\nGod.
\nI will seek the lost, and I will<\/p>\n
\n00:13:27,440 –> 00:13:31,440
\nbring back the strayed, and I
\nwill bind up the injured, and I <\/p>\n
\n00:13:31,440 –> 00:13:33,760
\nwill strengthen the weak and the
\nfat, and the strong I will <\/p>\n
\n00:13:33,760 –> 00:13:39,280
\ndestroy.
\nI will feed them in justice. <\/p>\n
\n00:13:43,880 –> 00:13:45,960

\nyou’ve heard about a few other <\/p>\n
\n00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:36,480
\npodcasts in the WCF network.
\nI am actually one of the Co <\/p>\n
\n00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:40,160
\nhosts on a show called a Little
\nFaith where we explore faith <\/p>\n
\n00:14:40,160 –> 00:14:43,840
\nbreakdowns and build ups with
\ndifferent people who have very <\/p>\n
\n00:14:43,840 –> 00:14:46,720
\npowerful stories to tell.
\nThat’s a little faith. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:46,840 –> 00:14:50,440
\nTom and Naomi are exploring how
\nwe interact in our ecclesial <\/p>\n
\n00:14:50,440 –> 00:14:52,800
\nrelationships in from the
\nplatform. <\/p>\n
\n00:14:52,960 –> 00:14:55,920
\nIt’s a very in depth series that
\nis incredibly helpful for <\/p>\n
\n00:14:55,920 –> 00:14:58,800
\nunderstanding and developing
\ncompassion and better listening <\/p>\n
\n00:14:58,800 –> 00:15:00,920
\npractices.
