0:00.0	Hey, everybody, welcome to you. We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo. That's me. I'm Father John. I'm the executive director at Acts 29, where we talk about anything and everything having to do with transformation in the church. I'm here, as usual, with my good friend, teammate Mary, and Mary,
0:22.7	we got a special guest. We do. We have Deacon Steve Mitchell with us today. Steve, it's so
0:27.3	great to have you here. Hey, guys, it's good to be here. It's good to see you. After a long,
0:31.3	month-like, long vacation. Have you seen Nick anywhere? I just moved his bobblehead over.

1:18.5	the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Father, we thank you for these great days that have begun

1:41.6	would help us to understand the mystery of the faith like never
