0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. This is Father John Ricardo with Acts 29. And in the middle of all the craziness |
0:05.5 | and the uncertainty that's going on right now, it seems from our perspective as a team that it's |
0:10.7 | worth using these days to reflect in a more deliberate way on the scriptures every day, which |
0:16.5 | for many of us now is the only spiritual food that we're receiving. And so we're going to do a special podcast series simply entitled, |
