0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat the host and the content director
0:09.7	here at Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. Unfortunately, Bishop Aaron is not with us in studio,
0:15.6	but that's okay because we have something great to share with you, namely the audio from
0:20.5	Bishop Aaron's recent event at the headquarters of Amazon. Just a couple weeks ago, Bishop
0:25.9	Aaron, myself and Joe Glouhrer, our producer, made our way to Seattle, Washington, where Bishop
0:31.0	Aaron was invited to participate in what they call a fish bowl discussion. This is where a best-selling
0:37.2	Amazon author gets up in front of a bunch of Amazon employees and just talks about their new book.
0:42.4	So in Bishop Aaron's case, the book was arguing religion, which by the way, if you haven't gotten
0:47.7	your copy yet, be sure to go to Word on Fire Show.com slash religion. You can get a big discount on
0:52.9	the book there. But there were about 200 Amazon employees and attendance. The whole event was
0:58.3	wonderful. I'm sure Bishop Aaron will share more about it here in an upcoming episode of the
1:03.2	podcast. Big shout out, by the way, to Doug and Olivia, two Amazon employees who helped coordinate
1:08.4	this big event. They were so gracious. The logistics were so smooth and I know both of them are
1:14.0	fans of Word on Fire. So I wanted to be sure to give them a shout out here on the podcast. So
1:18.2	thanks, Doug. Thanks, Olivia. Well, listen, we only were able to share the main content of the
1:23.8	discussion about 45 minutes. We did not have permission to share the Q&A event afterward because
1:30.0	they didn't want to share Amazon employees. Questions publicly, the event was supposed to be a
1:35.1	closed-door meeting. But they were gracious enough to give us the audio of the main discussion.
1:40.0	And that's what we want to share with you here. So sit back and enjoy this conversation between
1:45.3	Doug and Amazon employee and Bishop Aaron about his new book, Arguing Religion Live from Amazon's
1:51.4	headquarters. Let's get right into it. For those who don't know, what does it really mean to be the
2:04.3	auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles? Well, the really big arts dioceses like, you know, New York,
