Hey, everybody. Welcome to you. We're born for this podcast with Father John Ricardo and Mary Gilfoyle.

We're 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.

God who both created and rescued this world. And he calls you and me to be agents of transformation

and creation. Mary, we've made it past the halfway point of Lent. Yes, we have. And the sun is shining

in Michigan, and the trees are beginning to bloom, and birds are chirping chirping and I'm getting really anxious for spring.

I don't know about you.

I heard the birds chirping outside our bedroom window the other morning.

I told Steve, I actually went to the windows and I said, I hear something.

Something's alive.

And it was the sound of birds.

And I thought maybe it was birds. And it is.

And what I love about the season of Lent, following the season of Lent is the season of Easter, where everything is renewed and restored and made whole.

So the seasons are moving along with us as well.

And it brings joy to our hearts, right, Father, John?

For our brothers and

sisters who live in climates where it's constantly warm you just have no idea the euphoria that comes

over us in the state of michigan when we start to see that orange thing in the sky right about now and

begin to dream about things like grass and trees and flowers and all sorts of stuff.

So having said that, we have a devastating letter to a church today.

What's our title?

The title is heart failure.

Let's pray.
