0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire show. I'm your host, Jared Zimmerer, the director of
0:08.6	Outreach and Mission here at Word on Fire. And as always, a warm welcome to Bishop Robert
0:13.2	Baron Bishop. It's always good to be with you. Hey Jared, always good to be with you too.
0:17.7	How are the kids doing? They're doing well. Doing really well. Why? No, you just got back actually,
0:21.8	was it yesterday from the Atlanta Eucharistic Conference? Can you kind of tell us how that went?
0:28.0	That was good. I've been there now three times. They have this every year in June and it's one of
0:33.6	the most successful events of its kind in the church in our country. They estimate 30,000 people
0:39.3	in the course of the weekend come for events. And there's a procession into the arena on Saturday
0:45.6	morning, which is really impressive. It's like every group in the Archdiocese coming in.

1:21.0	So it was a long, long journey, but I enjoyed being there.
1:24.4	Well, good. Yeah, Georgia always holds a special place in my heart. That's where my mother's
1:27.7	from. In fact, I hear Savannah and that's where a lot of my family's from,
1:30.9	Mac, Worth, Carter'sville and the whole area. So I love Georgia. But so anyway, so today we're going
1:37.0	to discuss one of my favorite of your books, entitled, And Now I See. For me, this book
1:44.7	Sund Up, the Ideals of numerous aspects of living the Christian life, things like evangelization,
