Exactly.

With some commentary, and not a ton of commentary in the sense of it's not necessarily a study every day, but it's meant to kind of pull out some nuggets every day of just here's something that might be difficult to understand, or here is something that just it's worth reflecting on, or it's worth like, let's just underline and highlight

this phrase or this idea in this particular section that God is trying to communicate to us.

And so it's meant to be in some ways a guided tour as well as it's just proclamation.

And that's one of the things I love about

the idea of the podcast is here is the word of God proclaimed out loud.

And I think in so many ways that I know for myself, I learn best through my ears.

And especially the word of God, what I've found is it gets to my heart more quickly when it goes through my ears.

I don't know why, but maybe it's because the word of God's meant to be proclaimed.

Yeah, no, thanks.

That's a great question.

Because my hope originally was this vision of changing one's vision.

Like really was that, was allowing oneself to be like shaped, fashioned by the word of God.

So that was it.

I mean, that was my first vision.

That's all I can see this as, as just like we're allowing God himself to fashion us with his word.

So we're looking at the world differently.

But then I was thinking more and more about it and thinking, you know, there's a certain rootedness as well that I just would love for more and more Catholics to become more deeply grounded, not just in, not quote unquote, just in the word of God, but in God's will itself.

I think a lot of times, not only do we struggle to know how to read the Bible, I think a lot of us struggle with knowing how to pray.

And so not just here's a fashion, my worldview, but also this is now allow me to find myself in my rootedness in hearing God's word proclaimed and then meditating on God's word.
