0:10.3	here at Word on Fire. Today we have something really exciting to share with you. We just
0:15.0	wrapped up the first annual Word on Fire conference for priests. We brought together 300 priests
0:22.2	from all over the world, including several from countries outside of the United States,
0:27.1	and they all convened in Huntington Beach, California for a three-day conference led by Bishop
0:32.6	Barron on the topic of preaching, on the art and act of proclaiming Jesus Christ. Bishop
0:38.8	Barron delivered several talks which will soon be available in our Word on Fire digital
0:43.6	video library, but he also had a wide-ranging Q&A session with the 300 priests and attendants,
0:50.4	and their questions were really interesting and the dialogue was lively. So we want to
0:55.6	share that with you today. So sit back and enjoy this live Q&A with Bishop Barron at the

1:49.9	have a special guest with us as well. Mr. Matt Nelson, how are you doing? Good to be here.
1:54.0	Have a great time. So throughout the conference, we've asked the priests to drop a few questions
2:02.0	by our booth, and so for this show, we're going to go through those questions with Bishop Barron,
2:05.8	and as we said, this conference is about preaching. It's about homiletics, about sermons,
2:11.4	about preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lay faithful to the faithful of Jesus in our church,
2:17.2	and so there's so many wonderful questions in here, and I think it's good for us to just go
2:20.9	ahead and get started. What do you think, Bishop? No, I don't think so.
