| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Jeff Kaven's show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and |
| 0:05.4 | evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples. |
| 0:17.0 | This is show 370, how I left the Catholic Church. Welcome to the show this week. Boy we had a wonderful, wonderful holy week and he's |
| 0:29.6 | risen! Risen indeed and we are equipped now to go out and share the good news with people. |
| 0:37.2 | We have been brought into the church and so many people came in this year, very exciting. |
| 0:42.4 | I was at a parish where there was, I think 13 people came in, |
| 0:46.6 | which is wonderful to always to see people coming into the church |
