0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to The You Are Born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo. That's me. I'm your host. I'm Father John. I'm the executive director at Acts 29. When we talk about anything and everything related to transforming the church. And Mary, it's just you and me again. Again. You know what we're going to have to
0:22.2	do? Does Nick still work here? We're going to have to build a cutout for Nick and put it over here in
0:27.8	this chair so we can at least look at some semblance of our brother, who we miss and love so much.
0:33.1	Maybe a bobblehead. We've got a Nick Jorgensen, Bobblehead. Nick, we love you and we miss you. Come back soon
0:39.8	to the podcast room. Absolutely. Mary, what's our, what's our topic today? Yeah. So Father John,
0:43.9	our topic today is the absolute key to the transformation of the church. That's right. We've
0:50.7	actually stumbled upon it. We have the answer that everybody's been waiting to hear. We know the one thing that most needs to happen for the transformation of church, and we can't wait to break this open with everybody, right? And of course, we know that's not true because we are so reliant on the Lord. So Father John, would you open us in prayer? Absolutely. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Lord, we thank you for the time that we have to be together right now.
1:13.9	Lord, we just pray for your Holy Spirit to bless and animate this conversation,
1:19.3	that we would indeed talk about the one thing that is at the heart of the transformation of the church.
1:28.3	That all of our ears, minds, and hearts would be attuned to whatever it is you wish to say, however you wish to say it to us.
1:38.3	And we ask all this in Jesus' name.
1:40.3	Amen.
1:41.3	Amen. The name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
1:43.3	And we really do mean it.
1:45.2	We think we have the absolute key to the transformation of the church because the absolute
1:51.2	key to the transformation of the church is the transformation of me. Right. Amen. And I was sharing
1:57.9	with you earlier in the week, the Lord just laid it upon my heart.
2:02.7	You know, we talk all the time in the church about miracles and signs and wonders.
2:09.2	And praying before the Blessed Sacrament one day last week, I just felt like the Lord said,
2:13.6	the biggest wonder, the biggest wonder that I want to work today is in me.
2:20.8	Yeah, amen.
2:21.4	The biggest wonder is in us, and that's a transformed life.
