| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jeff Kaven Show, where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and evangelization, |
| 0:06.7 | putting it all together and living as activated disciples. |
| 0:11.9 | This is show 469, boys and girls, to men and women. |
| 0:28.3 | Well, hello, my friend. Thank you for joining me again this week, fresh off of another wonderful pilgrimage to the Holy Land. And it was a great one. It's always good to go over. That was |
| 0:35.5 | actually my 70th pilgrimage to the Holy Land. |
| 0:39.8 | Coming up in May, Father Mike Schmitz and I are leading one. But I have a couple more coming out |
| 0:44.9 | this coming January. I'll let you know about that, the release date on that. And we're going to |
| 0:51.1 | do two of them in January. But I always look forward to and I always look forward to coming home too, you know, |

| 2:02.4 | And I remember him even saying, you know, when you find that one, Jeff, you might want to just take a good look at her mother. And I say, you know, why, dad? And he |
