Summary
Friends, in the book of Revelation, Jesus says, “Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to you and eat with you and you with me.” But how does this work? How do we allow him into our hearts? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss in today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show.”
A listener asks, what do you think about the series, The Chosen?

| 0:00.0 | Jesus doesn't want it to be entertained in one part of the house for a brief period. |
| 0:05.4 | His point is to be the Lord, the Dominous. That's why I like that word in Latin because it sounds |
| 0:10.3 | like Dominate in English. I don't want someone dominating me. Well, I'm sorry. He is not your little |
| 0:16.7 | friend. He's the Dominous. He's the Lord of your life. And he wants mastery, |
| 0:22.8 | Lordship over every aspect of your life. |
| 0:33.7 | Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Brandon Vat, the senior publishing director at Word on |
| 0:38.9 | Fire. What does it mean for Jesus to become the Lord of your life? The Bible says that Jesus |
| 0:44.7 | knocks on the door of each one of our hearts. How do we let them in? What does that look like in |
| 0:49.2 | practice? What does it mean to open that door widely? Well, that's what we're going to be discussing |
| 0:53.7 | today. And we are joined as always by Bishop Robert Barron. Bishop, good to talk with you. Welcome. |
| 0:59.7 | Brandon, I was good to see you on these transcontinental conversations we have. You're in Orlando. |

| 1:14.8 | is warming up. The art studio is super cold much of the year. And now it's pretty comfortable. |
| 1:22.5 | You recently paid a visit to somewhere else there in California, namely Biola University. |
| 1:28.0 | It's one of the premier evangelical colleges in the country. They invited you to go there and |
| 1:33.2 | have a stage event with their president. Talk about that. How'd that go? It was a great evening. |
| 1:38.4 | Biola stands for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. That's where that name comes from. As you say, |
| 1:43.1 | evangelical university. First came on my radar screen before I came out to California because |
| 1:49.6 | of our friend William Lane Craig. Craig has been a visiting professor there for a long time. |
| 1:54.8 | In fact, one of the famous debates Craig did with Richard, not Richard Dawkins, but Christopher |
| 1:59.9 | Hitchens, was at the Biola theater. So that's how it first came out my radar screen. |
