Episode 387: Do You Have Clarity on How You Behave?

So as you alluded to, Father John, in our i- intro, we're starting a new series today, one that we pray is gonna bless all of you, whether you're a priest or a layperson who's working in a parish or a chancery, or someone serving in an apostolate, or maybe you're a married couple or a disciple out in the world looking to turn that world upside down.

And so as a means of getting into this conversation over the next set of weeks, let's take a minute, Father John, to share with everyone quickly what exactly we do on Acts 29.

Yeah, it might be helpful.

In fact, I was just with a number of folks on pilgrimage who really don't know what we do, and I'll, I'll bet there's more than a few people who, who are listening to us who really don't understand the ministry that we do.

We do five main things in Acts 29, all of which we do for free, by the way.

We're, we're, we're passionate about the fact that, uh, we believe God has given us something freely, and so we, we freely wanna give it away, which is really significant.

It means you can't hire us, and you can't fire us.

That's right.

We don't, we, we, we don't wanna work with clients, right?

Yeah, we don't want clients.

Yeah.

You know, like, we have as a, on one of our walls here in our space, uh, it's a quote from Paul's letter to the Thessalonians when he says, you know, "It was our desire not just to give you the gospel, but our very selves-

Mm

... as well." That's very worth reflecting on.

It's gonna be, um, kinda like the underlying current of all we're gonna share in these next couple of weeks.

So the five things we do are these: We create and we distribute various kinds of media, like this.

We, you and I do this podcast.

Rick and Albert do another podcast, uh, called Leaders in the Resistance, which is aimed especially at kinda bishops and pastors and lay men and women who work alongside them and form part of their, their key leadership teams.

But we also do books.

In fact, we've got a big announcement coming out soon, but we can't say anything-

Yes, we do

... more about that yet.

So that's the first thing.

Second, we host at, or excuse me, we host and speak at various events and conferences that, that we pray really give us an opportunity to leverage, uh, the numbers so as to share more broadly what God has given us.

So we're, we're somewhat selective in those.
