Hey everyone, welcome back to the Daily Gospel Exegesis podcast. Thanks so much for listening

and I hope you're benefiting from it. In this bonus episode, I want to go through some feedback

that's coming about the ministry. And whenever we do this, I always want to make the point that

this feedback shows how much you can do when you respond

to God's call to use your gifts to serve the kingdom of God.

This is not a big ministry.

This is a small grassroots ministry.

But you can see from some of the feedback that's come in that this is exactly what a lot

of people are looking for

and it's really helped them in their journey on the kingdom of God and ultimately it's all God's work

so when you hear some of this feedback I really want to encourage you to think about is there

something similar you can do with your gifts where people are just waiting for a particular thing to be done or a particular

void to be filled that's not currently being filled in the Catholic media world.

And have a think about whether there is something like that that you can offer.

Also, I think this feedback highlights that Bible study does really help for Catholics. Often we think that Bible study is a

Protestant or a non-denominational thing that Catholics don't do, but there is something about

doing an in-depth, literal sense Bible study that really helps people in their journey with

God and it brings them closer to Jesus. So don't let anyone tell you that there's

no point doing Bible studies. It's purely academic. I think this feedback should show you that that's

not the case. So today I wanted to share some feedback that's come in over the last few months,

particularly going to focus on feedback that's coming from comments on Apple Podcasts and reviews in places like that.

And by the way, this podcast at the time of recording actually has a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts,
