| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Welcome to you. We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo, Mary Gilfoyle. |
| 0:10.7 | We're a couple of missionaries with Acts 29. And this is the podcast where we talk about anything and everything having to do with transformation in the church. |
| 0:19.1 | Hey, belated, happy birthday, Mary. Thank you, Father John. |
| 0:22.3 | 35, right? 35 years young. In my heart, maybe my body tells me otherwise. In your spirit. |
| 0:30.0 | Well, you know what? The church continually grows young. That's one of my favorite expressions of |
