Hey, everybody. Welcome to the We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo. That's me. I'm Father John. I am the executive director at Acts 29, what we talk about anything and everything having to do with transformation in the church. I'm here as always with my sister in the Lord fellow missionary. Mary, how you doing?

I'm doing good. I have to tell you, it's great to be back in the studio and back in the offices. I've been out all week. So. Yeah, you kind of caught the bug too, right? Yeah, I had a little bit of a bug. And as I was driving in today, I thought, well, this is actually glorious. It's been a long time. So how nice. We were on a podcast with Tim Glomkowski from Denver. And then we left and we gave whatever you had to Tim and all those

who were in. Yeah, and everyone the Archdiocese of Denver, please forgive us. Oh my gosh.

We had fun. You all had fun. I don't know if I had fun. Nevertheless, it's good to be here,

Father John. It's good to have you back. It's good to see you in the land of the living. So what's our

topic today? So our topic

today is, I didn't know I could do that. That sounds intriguing. I love it. Great. Let's pray so we can

find out what we can do. Absolutely. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Oh, Lord, in this month of November, especially as we draw closer to Thanksgiving, we want to give you thanks and praise for everything.

Everything's a gift. Everything's from you. Life, faith, family, friendship, even the trials that come our way, the grace that you give us to endure

them and to share in Jesus' own passion, whether it's serious sickness or just annoying sickness.

But we ask that everything we do right now would honor and glorify you, that you would continue

to stir up within us a greater awareness of who resides within us and what he is able to do

in and through us.

And we ask all this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

In the name of the Father of the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thank you, Father John. Well, as I was talking with you earlier, I was asking how your time was

with the brothers in the office without me and just wanted to know. We definitely missed someone

like kind. It was just like Albert, Nick and I, well, Kelly was in, so that was great, but yeah,

it was brothers living in the house and so we missed the feminine genius, so it's nice to have you back.

Yeah, well thank you for that.
