Summary
Do you ever pause to evaluate your spiritual life? As evangelists, it is easy to get caught up in all the urgent matters that we fail to take time for our own spiritual recollection. In this episode, Mike Gormley discusses the importance of taking stock of our spiritual lives and maintaining the goal of eternity with God.
Snippet from the Show
We spend a lot of time on things that are urgent and often neglect those things that are not urgent but still important.

| 0:00.0 | And one of the things that I've realized is we spend a lot of time on things that are urgent, |
| 0:04.3 | but not on things that are not urgent yet still important. Welcome to Every Knees shall bow your weekly Catholic podcast on evangelization. |
| 0:29.6 | My name is Mike Gomer Gormley, and I am not joined by Dave the Schmarmi. |
| 0:35.8 | Oh, gosh, I have no idea. |
| 0:37.4 | I have no idea. |
| 0:41.8 | I have completely run out of nicknames slash middle names for Dave Van Vickle. So if you have some, please just send them my way. |

| 0:48.0 | You don't literally, you have to put nothing else in the email. |
| 0:51.3 | Just the subject line. |
| 0:52.8 | Give me some more really funny, funny middle names for |
| 0:55.9 | the old Dave the, what is the deal with this? I can't come up with anything. Anywho, today what I |

| 1:23.0 | those notions that I think is so important for our work as an evangelist that doesn't directly |
| 1:27.9 | bear on strategies and tactics of evangelization. Instead, what it bears upon is our knowledge, |
| 1:33.1 | our comprehensive knowledge of the Catholic faith. Now, you know that I love to nerd out |
| 1:38.2 | about faith topics. Dave actually, this is, this is funny. Dave is far smarter than I am, but he does a much better job hiding |
| 1:47.7 | it. And I am far dumber than him, but I do a much better job showing and showcasing and |
