0:00.0	Welcome back to the Word on Fire show. I'm Brandon Vott, the host and the content director,
0:10.6	and we have something special for you today. Today you're going to hear a sample audio
0:15.6	lesson from Father Stephen Gadbury's course inside the Word on Fire Institute. The course
0:21.7	is titled The People You Will Meet, and it's all about the many different types of people
0:27.4	you'll meet whenever you begin to evangelize. Father Gadbury's advice is based on years of
0:32.8	experience as a Catholic priest, engaging people about the faith, and his course will give you the
0:38.0	practical skills you need to more effectively evangelize today's world. Father Gadbury is a priest
