Well, welcome back to Cathy Gantz's Live. I'm Sy Kelly at your host, Joe Heschmeier here

0:19.2

with us this hour for an hour of open forum. The number is 888-318-788-488-318-788-4.

0:29.0

I got to just say, though, that working here at Cathy Gantz was some weeks a really extraordinary

0:34.2

and having the Berks here, Stephanie and Dan Berk yesterday was just such a great gift. People

0:39.0

doing wonderful work, helping other people in their prayer lives, in their spiritual lives,

0:44.8

and then to meet these two gentlemen, Andrew and Marco today also. Really, really a great

0:53.3

privilege to hear how they minister in the way that they do, and I am kind of convinced with

1:01.0

their, about their model. I'm convinced about that, you know, having spoken to them now and it's

1:06.0

gotten to spend some time with them. This idea that one of the things we can do as Catholics,

1:10.9

as Christian people, is do this together. That is, we don't necessarily need separate groups

1:24.4

1:52.8

said, Joe Heschmeier's the worst. Anyway, about ministry. I know, I know. So then, you know,

1:59.6

you kind of wonder, like, I don't listen to the show every day. Is this just normal? Like, every day,

2:04.2

every day, people just talk about how much they don't like Joe Heschmeier. I'm sorry, I didn't know

2:09.7

you weren't aware. I would have told you. We can collect them. This is my response hour. I'd like

2:15.0

to begin by. Yeah. Joe, you know, rebuttal hour. Andy's just jealous, because Marco is the Godfather

2:22.0

to my son, and we've never asked Andy, and we'll never ask Andy to be Godfather. I'll see that. Joe,
