Instead, trust God who made you with your own talents. Just listen to what Isaiah 64.8 says, We are the clay. You are the potter. We are all the work of your hand. And now for our story, it's entitled, Be Yourself.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (3 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
