| 0:03.9 | We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo and Mary Guilfoyle. |
| 0:07.6 | We are a couple of missionaries at Acts 29, and this is the podcast where we talk about how acquiring a biblical worldview brings us great hope in the God who created and rescued this world in order that you and I can be agents of |
| 0:22.3 | transformation and recreation. Mary, how you doing? I'm doing great. Father, John, how about you? |
| 0:27.9 | I'm doing well. You're looking forward to going home this week, aren't you? Gosh, yes, I am. We're going |
| 0:31.6 | to my home state of Kansas. We're going to be leading a portion of the Eucharistic revival, or the Eucharistic |
| 0:38.6 | Congress rather, in Salina, or for the diocese of Salina, but we're actually going to be farther |
| 0:44.2 | out west in Hayes, Kansas, which I remember very well from when I lived there and went to school |

| 1:45.2 | I'm super excited about this. |

| 1:47.4 | We'll break it open. |
