| 0:10.2 | director at Word on Fire. Today we have another sample from a great course inside of our |
| 0:15.8 | Word on Fire Institute. The course is titled To the Peripheries, To the Peripheries. It is taught |
| 0:22.8 | by Father Damien Ferrance, and Father Ferrance explains how there might be times when we think |
| 0:28.0 | the task of evangelization is so difficult that it becomes overwhelming. Perhaps we aren't sure |
| 0:33.8 | how to connect with people where we might say or do the wrong thing. Well, in this course, he takes |
| 0:39.9 | us through numerous examples from the Gospels and from his own life and the philosophy of several |

| 0:52.1 | So sit back and enjoy this sample from Father Damien Ferrance's course inside the Word on Fire |

| 1:50.5 | God coming to us to share the good news in his son Jesus Christ himself. And in order to do that, |
| 1:56.8 | we're going to start in the fifth chapter of Mark's Gospel. So you can get your Bible out and |
| 2:02.1 | follow along with me. It's important to know that at the beginning of chapter 5, Jesus had just |
| 2:09.3 | finished calming the waters and performing a miracle and it's getting near the end of the day |
| 2:15.6 | and he's making his way over to the land of the Jarrah scenes. Now up until this point in Mark's |
