Hi everyone. Welcome back to Logical Bible Study podcast, and this is the Catholic podcast, where we do a really in-depth exegesis of the gospel reading for the day.

And because today is a bit of a shorter episode, I just want to take a couple of minutes at the start of the episode to remind you of the different

benefits that are available if you decide to support the ministry. So if you've benefited from

this ministry, you think it's worth supporting, then please consider becoming a Patreon supporter.

If you give $10 a month or more, you get access to all the bonus episodes of the podcast, including parts of the Gospels which are never

read as part of the lectionary. So there's those episodes available for you through Patreon.

So if you do become a $10 or more a month supporter, once all those bonus episodes

are released, you would have heard a verse-by-verse exegesis of the entire four gospels.

If you're willing to give $20 a month or more, and that would really help the ministry grow and

plan, then you can get access to audio recordings of catechesis sessions that I myself have done

going through the catechism verse by verse. And if that's something you're interested in,

if you want to learn your Catholic faith in a more rigorous, systematic way, there's no better

way to do it than going through the catechism. And so those audio recordings, where I explore

the catechism in a bit more depth, are available

to you if you become a supporter who gives $20 a month or more.

And there's even more bonuses available if you do decide you want to contribute even more

to the ministry.

So thank you for your time.

And now let's get into today's episode.

Today we're looking at Luke chapter 8 versus 19 to 21.

So here's today's passage. The mother and the brothers of Jesus came looking for him, but they could not get to him because of the crowd.

He was told, your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to see you.
