0:00.0	Hey everybody and welcome to You Were Born for this podcast. I'm Father John Ricardo. I'm your host. I'm the executive director of Acts 29. When we talk about anything and everything related to transforming parishes. I'm here as always with my co-hosts, Mary and Nick. How are you guys doing?
0:21.1	Doing great father. It's great to be with you. We've got a loaded topic today, right? We're going to
0:25.7	the meat of a lot of what we do when we start going to diocese or to parishes, right?
