something you can always depend on is that God's love does not fail. God's love is so intense.

It grabs a hold of you like a wave and just draws you in.

Yeah. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to every knee shall bow your weekly Catholic podcast on evangelization and discipleship. My name is Dave Van Vickle,

and I'm all alone this week. Gomer is giving a parish mission to some lucky parish, I believe,

in Kansas or something like that. So I'm going to go ahead and record just solo this week,

so I hope you're okay with that. We have all kinds of stuff going on, right? Coming up, people, I'm sure to go ahead and record just solo this week. So I hope you're okay with that.

We have all kinds of stuff going on, right?

Coming up, people, I'm sure in your mind, you're preparing for Lent.

You're starting to think about what you're going to do to get ready for Easter, all these things, good things. There's a lot of people out there who, a lot of men out there who just recently started Exodus 90, right?

This is a rich time of the year for spiritual growth and for really trying to focus

on what is important, right?

And we're making that run to Easter, right, to really meditate on what the reason God came, right? The passion, death,

and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And those days before leading up to it, preparing our hearts

to receive that mystery, you know. I was thinking about what we want to do, what I want to do

for this episode. And, you know, sometimes we,

we finish an episode and I think to myself like, that just wasn't practical. You know,

this is supposed to be a podcast about evangelization. And we just kind of droned on and on and on

about, you know, whatever our opinions were about things.

It wasn't really practical.

And so I was, you know, just as I was watching the Super Bowl last night, I found it, I don't know, kind of boring.

I started thinking like, well, what am I going to record here?

You know, like I want to record something practical.
