Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat, the Senior Content Director at Word on Fire.

Today we're sharing with you a talk given by Bishop Baron at the 2021 Focus Seek Conference.

If you're not familiar with Focus, they're one of the premier Catholic Campus Ministry

organizations in the world. They send missionaries to college campuses, both Catholic and secular,

all around the United States and now other countries as well, producing tremendous fruit,

leading so many young people back to Christ and His Church. They're one of the shining lights

of the New Evangelization, and we have so much esteem for them here at Word on Fire.

Every couple of years, Focus holds a big conference known as Seek. It's dynamic, full of zealous young

people, all loving the Lord and wanting to follow Him more deeply. I had the privilege of attending

the conference a couple years ago, and there was over 15,000 people there. It was amazing.

Unfortunately, in 2021, because of the coronavirus, the conference had to go virtual, like many other

conferences. And so Bishop Baron pre-recorded this message, which he was offering to the virtual

attendees of the Seek Conference. It's titled The Identity of Jesus. And in this talk, Bishop

shows how Christ had the authority to fulfill the law of the Old Testament, and then to bring about

the will of God through the Church. It's a fairly short talk. It's only about 18 minutes long,

but it's very profound, very punchy, and I think you'll really enjoy it. Before we get to the talk,

though, we have a request for you. We don't do this too often, but this project is of such significance

that we thought we'd ask for your help. You've probably heard about the Word on Fire Bible series.

In fact, if you're listening to this podcast, I'm very confident you probably have held the

Word on Fire Bible in your hands. I hope you have a copy of Volume One, which covered the Gospels.

If you do, you know how stunningly beautiful and high quality this book is. Indeed, we call it a

cathedral and print. We're so proud of its wonderful design, its profound commentaries, the artwork
