Some of the topics covered are:
00:00 Intro
00:00:36 I find I need help from my teacher to overcome
00:03:26 Becoming the kind of person Yahweh wants to be with forever
00:04:43 What is causing division in the Body today?
00:07:42 The Leadership Conference
00:09:46 The beginning of MTOI
00:11:35 How can we work together?
00:13:37 As long as we agree on the “major things”…
