Ep 01: When My Faith Fell Apart.. and Scripture Put It Back Together

In Episode 1, Michael Jerome shares the deeply personal story behind this podcast—what happened when a life that looked faithful on the outside began falling apart behind closed doors. After years of serving in church and ministry, Michael faced a failing marriage, hidden struggles, fear, shame, and a crisis of faith that forced him to confront the difference between doing for God and truly being with God.

This episode is for anyone navigating marriage struggles, church hurt, faith deconstruction, spiritual burnout, loneliness, shame, or the question: “Why is this happening to me?”

In Episode 1, Michael Jerome shares the deeply personal story behind this podcast—what happened when a life that looked faithful on the outside began falling apart behind closed doors. After years of serving in church and ministry, Michael faced a failing marriage, hidden struggles, fear, shame, and a crisis of faith that forced him to confront the difference between doing for God and truly being with God.

This episode is for anyone navigating marriage struggles, church hurt, faith deconstruction, spiritual burnout, loneliness, shame, or the question: “Why is this happening to me?”

The Biblical Film Room is a place to slow down, honestly review the “film” of our lives, identify blind spots, and measure our experiences against the truth of Scripture. This is not about pretending life is easy. It is about healing, renewing your mind, reclaiming your identity in Christ, and moving forward with grace.

In this episode, Michael explores:

  • His journey through divorce, fear, and spiritual disillusionment
  • Why ministry and performance cannot become our identity
  • The role of solitude, Scripture, and honest self-reflection in healing
  • How faith-based counseling and supportive relationships helped renew his mind
  • Why every person’s story deserves dignity, compassion, and space to be heard
  • How to review your life through the lens of God’s Word—not shame, failure, or past pain
  • Why healing begins when we are willing to honestly “watch the film”

If you are struggling with your faith, relationships, marriage, identity, or past mistakes, you are welcome here.

00:00.031 --> 00:03.172
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you ever done everything you thought got one at you to do?

00:03.532 --> 00:05.813
[SPEAKER_00]: Only to watch your life fall completely apart.

00:06.013 --> 00:09.994
[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly where I found myself about 16 years ago.

00:10.414 --> 00:11.494
[SPEAKER_00]: I was serving in the church.

00:11.754 --> 00:12.775
[SPEAKER_00]: I was doing the ministry.

00:12.835 --> 00:13.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I was helping people.

00:13.675 --> 00:14.335
[SPEAKER_00]: I was leading.

00:14.575 --> 00:16.015
[SPEAKER_00]: I was doing Bible studies.

00:16.236 --> 00:17.956
[SPEAKER_00]: I was performing in the worship team.

00:18.196 --> 00:24.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Showing up every week, meanwhile, my own marriage was quietly dying, but then it got louder over time.

00:24.518 --> 00:28.059
[SPEAKER_00]: I never imagined that the greatest crisis of my life

00:29.187 --> 00:31.089
[SPEAKER_00]: What did happen outside the church?

00:31.369 --> 00:32.590
[SPEAKER_00]: It would happen inside it.

00:33.291 --> 00:36.914
[SPEAKER_00]: Today, I'm taking you into the film room of my life.

00:38.015 --> 00:39.337
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to replay my pain.

00:40.669 --> 00:43.512
[SPEAKER_00]: but to show you why this podcast exists.

00:43.652 --> 00:59.368
[SPEAKER_00]: To welcome to a new addition to the biblical film room podcast, where we slow down, reflect, and let scripture examine our lives so we can grow in truth, walk in freedom, and live our identity in Christ.

01:00.413 --> 01:02.814
[SPEAKER_00]: My name is Michael Jerome, I'm your host.

01:03.654 --> 01:05.415
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for joining me today.

01:05.995 --> 01:08.556

01:34.686 --> 01:42.189
[SPEAKER_00]: On the outside, things appear that I was living a life of joy and sacrifice and service.

01:43.049 --> 01:44.090
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I love serving.

01:45.210 --> 01:49.912
[SPEAKER_00]: My wife and I, we love ministry really enjoy our role in the church.

01:50.740 --> 02:03.352
[SPEAKER_00]: We believe we were making a difference and everyone saw the ministry, everyone saw how we were helping people and how we were sacrificial, but nobody saw the marriage.

02:04.593 --> 02:08.716
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea how to be how to be married, how to be husband.

02:09.488 --> 02:18.114
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a model knowing how to live with and love a woman unconditionally, not to mention how to love her like Christ.

02:19.475 --> 02:21.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I was selfish and moody.

02:21.156 --> 02:24.098
[SPEAKER_00]: I was jealous and insecure.

02:24.118 --> 02:29.002
[SPEAKER_00]: I was trolling and tight-fisted financially.

02:29.022 --> 02:34.546
[SPEAKER_00]: I was wrapped up in an addiction to watching porn and hiding it.

02:36.367 --> 02:44.472
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know how to engage in healthy conflict and I would avoid uncomfortable conversations with my spouse.

02:45.291 --> 02:48.454
[SPEAKER_00]: And as I said, I did know how to be married.

02:48.494 --> 02:51.136
[SPEAKER_00]: I met that time probably had no business being married.

02:52.357 --> 02:59.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I was married to a single mother and didn't really know how to show up for my stepdaughter and them together.

02:59.342 --> 03:06.108
[SPEAKER_00]: And so that added another level of division and strife to our relationship.

03:07.415 --> 03:08.256
[SPEAKER_00]: and my solution.

03:09.296 --> 03:10.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's do more ministry.

03:11.758 --> 03:18.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's share our faith more and then me secretly fulfilling my my lustful cravings through watching inappropriate content.

03:19.603 --> 03:26.327
[SPEAKER_00]: My identity was in what I did and not in who I was because I really didn't know who I was.

03:26.887 --> 03:28.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Everything was wrapped up into church.

03:29.289 --> 03:32.450
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean no one saw the double life I'd let as a

03:33.982 --> 03:41.487
[SPEAKER_00]: I was always learning, but wasn't able to experience sustained change in my life, which was really frustrating.

03:42.707 --> 03:44.188
[SPEAKER_00]: I lived in fear constantly.

03:45.289 --> 03:49.131
[SPEAKER_00]: A fear of being exposed, a fear of losing my spouse.

03:49.752 --> 03:52.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Fear heard maybe stepping out and seeing someone else.

03:53.594 --> 03:56.936
[SPEAKER_00]: Fear of losing my status and position in ministry.

04:01.286 --> 04:13.156
[SPEAKER_00]: of many things, the imposter sent syndrome I felt was real, but I was pretty good at serving others, on leading songs, ushering, greeting people at the door and praying over people.

04:13.576 --> 04:14.757
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really good at those things.

04:15.658 --> 04:24.465
[SPEAKER_00]: I was successful in ministry while floundering at home and it was, um, it was a very

04:28.681 --> 04:33.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Because over time, many people began to notice that there was a bigger problem.

04:35.107 --> 04:42.133
[SPEAKER_00]: And the problems around my marriage and parenting of my stepdaughter were deeply concerning to people.

04:42.853 --> 04:47.257
[SPEAKER_00]: So I obviously, the recommendation was to seek professional counseling, professional marriage counseling.

04:48.538 --> 04:52.042
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we also got counseling from our church pastors and shepherds.

04:53.035 --> 05:01.821
[SPEAKER_00]: official help that we received was helpful short-term, but the results didn't last, okay?

05:01.881 --> 05:02.561
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't stick.

05:03.502 --> 05:11.827
[SPEAKER_00]: The ministry efforts that were spent were long hours over many, over several years.

05:13.168 --> 05:16.810
[SPEAKER_00]: The shepherds and pastors and elders, they tried.

05:16.890 --> 05:17.731
[SPEAKER_00]: Some of those, some of

05:20.877 --> 05:23.058
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe anyone intended to hurt us.

05:24.259 --> 05:29.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I simply believe they weren't equipped for what we needed if that makes sense.

05:31.444 --> 05:41.752
[SPEAKER_00]: And on the other side of all of this, I felt that others that I thought what my friends had abandoned me once the marriage had completely fallen apart.

05:42.472 --> 05:45.655
[SPEAKER_00]: And what was left after this experience, was a lot of,

05:47.362 --> 05:56.545
[SPEAKER_00]: broken pieces and in a major faith crisis, I was even told I would never change by a number of people.

05:57.585 --> 06:04.527
[SPEAKER_00]: So I had been walking in the Christian faith, I had grown to believe for 30 years at this point.

06:05.247 --> 06:06.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely faith crisis.

06:06.547 --> 06:11.949
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly didn't know what to believe, who to believe, or why should contain to believe.

06:13.438 --> 06:20.000
[SPEAKER_00]: And I had many unanswered questions, which led to a great deal of disillusionment.

06:21.200 --> 06:22.580
[SPEAKER_00]: Why was this happening to me?

06:23.041 --> 06:23.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't understand it.

06:23.901 --> 06:28.082
[SPEAKER_00]: I was so faithful and serving and giving to people and pouring out my life.

06:28.802 --> 06:36.744
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I had poured everything I was into ministry and ministry, unfortunately, became

06:41.294 --> 06:52.083
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the turning point in the six months that changed everything during my separation.

06:52.103 --> 06:59.409
[SPEAKER_00]: And after my divorce, there was a span of about six months that was a really tough time for me.

07:00.110 --> 07:01.671
[SPEAKER_00]: I had a lot of a long time.

07:02.171 --> 07:07.476
[SPEAKER_00]: I had moved out of my home into a small department and I was scared.

07:07.996 --> 07:08.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I was scared y'all.

07:09.675 --> 07:23.362
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no internet, no TV, really no money, and no real significant relationship support that I could consistently count on because my family, they were all out of town.

07:24.243 --> 07:36.069
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, but I had three things that were constant, a Bible, a solitude, and a chess set

07:40.520 --> 07:42.701
[SPEAKER_00]: the time of the Bible, it was a life saver.

07:43.721 --> 07:52.085
[SPEAKER_00]: It gave me space to distinguish between the voice of religious jargon and the voice of the Holy Spirit.

07:53.265 --> 07:55.146
[SPEAKER_00]: The solitude was scary at first.

07:55.946 --> 07:57.947
[SPEAKER_00]: I had never lived alone my entire life.

07:58.973 --> 08:01.596
[SPEAKER_00]: At the same time, it was a gift.

08:01.856 --> 08:02.697
[SPEAKER_00]: It was what I needed.

08:03.358 --> 08:10.987
[SPEAKER_00]: I had to face me, but this time, not alone, even though I lived alone, I felt the presence.

08:12.107 --> 08:15.650
[SPEAKER_00]: The chess game with my son was my piece, my safe space.

08:16.691 --> 08:19.073
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I knew that he would always be there for me.

08:19.153 --> 08:23.777
[SPEAKER_00]: And that time, we kind of take away the pain for it for a moment.

08:23.977 --> 08:29.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Dory, all that time, I wasn't trying to become a counselor or a starter podcast.

08:30.222 --> 08:32.584
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying not to lose my faith.

08:32.604 --> 08:35.166
[SPEAKER_00]: I was just trying to really keep my life together.

08:36.307 --> 08:37.228
[SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to stay,

08:38.355 --> 08:40.636
[SPEAKER_00]: um, stay on the planet to be honest with you.

08:40.877 --> 08:41.957
[SPEAKER_00]: So I became desperate.

08:42.958 --> 08:45.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I really was desperate to hear from God.

08:46.060 --> 08:50.222
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, God, you got to show up and show me if you're really real.

08:50.342 --> 08:57.006
[SPEAKER_00]: I put everything that I learned from Christianity from this church at this point of my life on the shelf to put it all on the shelf.

08:57.367 --> 08:58.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was at a faith crossroads.

08:59.588 --> 09:04.770
[SPEAKER_00]: either I'm going to do this thing or I'm going to go my own way and it was around that time that I realized something.

09:05.050 --> 09:12.613
[SPEAKER_00]: These long lonely evenings in my apartment with no television, no internet and no real significant support around me.

09:13.874 --> 09:21.957
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the pain and everything I had gone through and experiencing a failed marriage, you know, it wasn't my biggest problem.

09:24.089 --> 09:37.819
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, my biggest problem actually was this that nobody had taught me that my worth and value as a person doesn't come from what I do, but from who I am, who I really am, as my creator defines me.

09:38.139 --> 09:48.947
[SPEAKER_00]: And I learned this truth from my six months of being alone with God, the Father, with my Bible and my solitude, and I realized that being with God was definitely more important

09:49.347 --> 09:51.589
[SPEAKER_00]: than doing foregot or doing for others.

09:51.929 --> 10:00.017
[SPEAKER_00]: Because many religious people, as I learn, know how to do Christianity and look good on the outside and play the part and do the church thing.

10:01.171 --> 10:10.417
[SPEAKER_00]: very few know how to build an entire biblical worldview that can survive and thrive through suffering and thrive on the other side of it.

10:10.698 --> 10:14.180
[SPEAKER_00]: It was in the moments of silence with only a Bible.

10:14.220 --> 10:22.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I know I keep going back to that in my small apartment, not much money and a chess game that I would play with my son that I began to receive clarity.

10:23.106 --> 10:23.966
[SPEAKER_00]: I began receiving

10:27.045 --> 10:28.566
[SPEAKER_00]: and my identity and worth.

10:28.886 --> 10:38.934
[SPEAKER_00]: And one film room insight that I received was from Galacians chapter one, whether a possible Paul says, that God's will I preach is not of human origin.

10:39.254 --> 10:42.356
[SPEAKER_00]: I did not receive it from any man or was I taught it.

10:42.716 --> 10:45.658
[SPEAKER_00]: I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

10:46.099 --> 10:46.839
[SPEAKER_00]: That was huge.

10:47.200 --> 10:51.283
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what I met when I said earlier that I spent so much time

10:52.163 --> 10:58.666
[SPEAKER_00]: hearing from preachers and other leaders and authority figures in my life that I couldn't really hear God.

10:59.026 --> 11:05.589
[SPEAKER_00]: It was very difficult for me to separate the voice of God from the voice of people of religious authority.

11:05.929 --> 11:13.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Over the course of time, I saw support from outside sources that was really helpful because I couldn't and wouldn't unload all my pain on my 11 year old son.

11:14.968 --> 11:21.533
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I saw support from a couple of individuals who sincerely cared about me.

11:22.274 --> 11:32.963
[SPEAKER_00]: A recovery program called Divorce Care that was so instrumental in my healing and to faith-based counselors that were just extraordinary.

11:33.403 --> 11:34.064
[SPEAKER_00]: such a blessing.

11:34.304 --> 11:42.050
[SPEAKER_00]: These support systems were an integral part of developing a mind-renuble that I had never experienced before.

11:42.070 --> 11:44.493
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just a different mindset about who I am.

11:44.813 --> 11:50.878
[SPEAKER_00]: And the ceiling of stunned emotional and spiritual growth that I had known for years was removed.

11:50.898 --> 11:54.301
[SPEAKER_00]: They meant it was like it was exhilarating, it was fantastic.

11:54.901 --> 11:57.964
[SPEAKER_00]: I felt like a sprinter going from 5.2 seconds

11:59.265 --> 12:02.629
[SPEAKER_00]: it in a 40-yard dash to 4.5 seconds and 6 months.

12:02.989 --> 12:10.476
[SPEAKER_00]: Now imagine if you were an athlete and your sprint time went from 5.2 seconds to 4.5 seconds in 6 months.

12:10.817 --> 12:11.537
[SPEAKER_00]: How would you feel?

12:11.758 --> 12:17.704
[SPEAKER_00]: I began to think if this pain can be used for good for another person, then it would be worth it.

12:18.024 --> 12:18.905
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be worth it.

12:20.437 --> 12:39.318
[SPEAKER_00]: And this growth spurred, and the recovery journey led me to begin a faith-based counseling practice in 2019, a few years after retiring from teaching, but during my wandering and the desert moments, for nine months during my separation, and then the six-month period,

12:40.557 --> 12:49.661
[SPEAKER_00]: in the in the film room in my lonely apartment after my divorce was final during that time I had never planned on becoming a biblical counselor.

12:50.362 --> 12:53.243
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't chasing a business or a podcast.

12:53.483 --> 12:57.605
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to become the kind of person that I needed when my life in marriage was falling apart.

12:57.965 --> 13:00.507
[SPEAKER_00]: And a space of grace counseling exists because of that.

13:00.867 --> 13:02.948
[SPEAKER_00]: It exists because counseling

13:03.728 --> 13:14.478
[SPEAKER_00]: is about knowing people and every person has a story and every person's story is unique and important and sacred and people actually want to tell their stories.

13:14.798 --> 13:19.642
[SPEAKER_00]: They just want to know will my story be treated with dignity and respect?

13:20.002 --> 13:25.748
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you're at ret and if you aren't willing or interested in knowing a person's story,

13:27.111 --> 13:34.254
[SPEAKER_00]: you can't help them and the story and that was actually part of my story, wondering if people were really interested in hearing my story.

13:35.114 --> 13:44.038
[SPEAKER_00]: So a space of great counseling was burnt out of a desire to provide a space for people like me to tell their story by unpacking their pain points.

13:44.378 --> 13:47.439
[SPEAKER_00]: But in a similar way, so was the biblical film room.

13:47.799 --> 13:49.860
[SPEAKER_00]: It also began with a story.

13:50.602 --> 14:00.784
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, two of my clients suggested that I should start a podcast because of my ability to bring scripture to life by contextualizing it to their life circumstance.

14:02.224 --> 14:04.245
[SPEAKER_00]: At first, I was kind of hesitant.

14:04.885 --> 14:12.347
[SPEAKER_00]: But when the second client mentioned it to me, I was sure that it was a path God wanted me to take.

14:13.627 --> 14:18.708
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I wanted to extend this desire to help people like me and like you.

14:19.950 --> 14:32.376
[SPEAKER_00]: who have a painful story, a painful pass around faith in relationships and heart and failure and have trouble telling the story from their perspective.

14:33.757 --> 14:37.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted my voice in my experience to extend its reach.

14:38.939 --> 14:44.002
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, my six-month time alone in the Bible and the solitude of my own apartment,

14:44.999 --> 15:01.223
[SPEAKER_00]: with only a chest set, reflected back to me what I saw in others, broken hurting souls who love the Lord, but have trouble making sense of the stories that are being played out in their lives.

15:02.024 --> 15:13.727
[SPEAKER_00]: What do I start with that, who lack the space to be raw and honest about their journey, and still be seen and treated with dignity and honor and compassion.

15:14.882 --> 15:17.263
[SPEAKER_00]: What you and I have in common, my friend, is this.

15:18.444 --> 15:20.325
[SPEAKER_00]: We live in a fallen, broken world.

15:21.226 --> 15:24.568
[SPEAKER_00]: And sometimes, that world falls on us and breaks us.

15:25.588 --> 15:37.235
[SPEAKER_00]: But we also have in common a God who shows up to pick up the pieces in the film room of self reflection, on his self reflection.

15:39.976 --> 15:42.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Not to shame us, and not to crush us.

15:43.748 --> 15:48.851
[SPEAKER_00]: but the build us up and put us back together the way he originally found us.

15:49.771 --> 15:53.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Beautiful, accepted, new, his creation.

15:54.794 --> 15:59.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Truth just struck me, we are, we all have a film room.

16:01.037 --> 16:11.963
[SPEAKER_00]: Just like athletes devote themselves to film study, to reflect, to observe, and to hopefully get better, we too have a film room.

16:12.878 --> 16:16.200
[SPEAKER_00]: And in that film room, we replay conversations.

16:16.280 --> 16:18.300
[SPEAKER_00]: We think about our mistakes.

16:19.721 --> 16:22.522
[SPEAKER_00]: We wonder why the relationship failed.

16:23.803 --> 16:30.826
[SPEAKER_00]: We ask ourselves why we're anxious, why we're angry, or lonely, or stuck.

16:32.487 --> 16:38.610
[SPEAKER_00]: So the question isn't whether we'll review the film, or whether we'll review our lives.

16:42.055 --> 16:44.956
[SPEAKER_00]: The question is, what lens are we using?

16:47.017 --> 16:54.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Our field relationships, our church hurt, our family of origin wounds, and those are lens that we're using.

16:55.961 --> 16:59.722
[SPEAKER_00]: You see, this podcast isn't about pretending life is easy.

17:00.643 --> 17:06.205
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus didn't pretend that pain wasn't painful, and neither should you or I.

17:08.528 --> 17:22.196
[SPEAKER_00]: This is about reviewing the film of our lives to uncover blind spots, to identify tendencies that get in our way and trip us up.

17:23.797 --> 17:35.204
[SPEAKER_00]: In the film room, we review marriages, family, suffering, shame, dating,

17:39.388 --> 17:44.311
[SPEAKER_00]: relationships, culture, but we don't stop there.

17:45.051 --> 17:51.675
[SPEAKER_00]: We compare everything against scripture, the film that truly doesn't lie.

17:52.195 --> 17:54.957
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know what brought you here.

17:56.158 --> 17:56.918
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm glad you're here.

17:58.519 --> 17:59.840
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your marriage is struggling.

18:00.480 --> 18:05.763
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe your disappointed with church or some kind of relationship that you're in.

18:06.884 --> 18:07.084
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe

18:10.512 --> 18:14.454
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you're carrying shame, no one knows about.

18:15.254 --> 18:20.616
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever brought you here, my friend, hey, you're welcome.

18:21.116 --> 18:27.399
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the film room, because healing doesn't begin when we ignore the tape.

18:28.639 --> 18:33.441
[SPEAKER_00]: Healing begins when we're willing to watch it honestly.

18:34.861 --> 18:36.082
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's part of my story.

18:37.300 --> 18:51.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Here, we get to put your failures and your faith to the tests through the lens of God's infallible Word, which is rich in grace and mercy.

18:53.229 --> 18:55.070
[SPEAKER_00]: And we don't have to fear what we see.

18:57.310 --> 18:59.553
[SPEAKER_00]: because he is here for us.

18:59.573 --> 19:07.465
[SPEAKER_00]: So many believers really fear the Bible in part because scripture has been weaponized to explore their weaknesses.

19:08.646 --> 19:11.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey guys, we're gonna get right back to the show but before we do,

19:35.786 --> 19:36.466
[SPEAKER_00]: Back to the show.

19:36.967 --> 19:44.691

[SPEAKER_00]: I got you in our next episode.

19:50.454 --> 19:54.096
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about the biggest mistake.

19:54.897 --> 20:00.180
[SPEAKER_00]: I see hurting people make over and over and over again.

20:02.448 --> 20:06.070
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the mistake I made over and over and over again.

20:06.090 --> 20:13.575
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm gonna borrow a phrase from my podcast mentor, Michael Anthony from Think Unbroken.

20:13.595 --> 20:23.001
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, I don't want you to pay the dummy tax and make this same mistake over and over again because I already paid it for you.

20:24.361 --> 20:25.082
[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

20:26.279 --> 20:37.322
[SPEAKER_00]: And once you see it, this big mistake that I see people make again and again, you won't be able to unsee it.
