00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,700
Hi everyone. 
Welcome to this very special 

2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:10,100
bonus, episode of The Daily 
gospel, exegesis podcast, and 

3
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:12,800
thank you so much for your 
support of the ministry. 

4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,400
So this is a bit of a different 
episode. 

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,300
It's a bonus episode and it's 
actually an interview. 

6
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,400
And the interview is with 
charbel rash, who is the 

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,400
director of Perugia media, which
is a quite significant Catholic 

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,300
Ministry in Australia. 
Here. 

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,000
And the interview is going to be
all about Catholic Ministries 

10
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:38,100
and in particular Catholic media
in Australia. 

11
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:43,100
So we wanted to release this at 
the start of 20:23 to give you a

12
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:44,600
feel. 
For some things you might want 

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,000
to look at in the coming year, 
some Ministries you might want 

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,800
to support and to give you some 
information about Catholic 

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,100
Ministries and what's happening 
in Australia in the Catholic 

16
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:57,700
media space that you may not be 
aware of and perhaps some new 

17
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,700
projects for you to look into 
for the year. 

18
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:02,400
And New Ministries for you to 
support. 

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,500
So, I just wanted to say a bit 
about what's going to happen in 

20
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,300
this interview because it is 
very different from what we 

21
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:11,500
normally do in the podcast. 
And of course, there is today's 

22
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,200
regular episode of the podcast 
where we look at the Gospel 

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,900
reading from today's mass, and 
that's still there for you. 

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,400
And this is an additional bonus 
episode that we felt was 

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,200
important to get out there 
because daily gospel exegesis is

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,900
an Australian podcast and those 
of you in Australia would know 

27
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:35,000
that we typically in Australia 
we have a tendency to rely on 

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,600
the US for providing us with 
good solid Catholic media 

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,000
resources and so this is an 
episode that's trying to address

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,700
things from an Australian 
perspective to tell you what's 

31
00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:48,000
out there. 
So how this interview came about

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,500
was recently logical Bible study
was interviewed on the parousia 

33
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:56,700
podcast so you can check that 
out and there's a link for that 

34
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,800
in the episode description for 
this episode as well. 

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,700
So we got to talk a bit about 
the purpose of this ministry 

36
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,200
that The Logical Bible study 
Ministry, and how it came about 

37
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,400
as an Australian Ministry. 
And we wanted to extend that to 

38
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,400
talk a bit more in this episode 
that you're about to hear about 

39
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:17,100
the Australian media space in 
general. 

40
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,800
So I really wanted to get 
charbel back on here. 

41
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,200
He has some great stuff to say 
about what's happening in 

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,200
Australia. 
So I guess you could say there's

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,800
two purposes to this particular 
boat. 

44
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,800
Bonus episode. 
So firstly, we want Australian. 

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,600
Catholics to know what is going 
on in Australia. 

46
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,300
So what are the kind of 
Ministries that are around them?

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,400
What can they get involved in? 
What can you support? 

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,400
So if you're an Australian 
listener to this to the, to the 

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,400
Daily gospel exegesis podcast, 
then hopefully this bonus 

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,300
episode will tell you, some 
things about Australian media 

51
00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:55,300
that you hadn't considered 
before and maybe open up some 

52
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,100
new Ministries for you to look 
into. 

53
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,200
And you'll see when Charles Bell
gets going in this To view, 

54
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,000
there's so much more going on in
Australia than what you first. 

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,700
Might think in the Catholic 
space. 

56
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:09,700
Secondly, we also wanted this 
bonus episode to be an 

57
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:13,400
opportunity for overseas 
listeners to learn more about 

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,800
what Australia has to offer the 
Catholic World. 

59
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,000
So in terms of statistics, the 
daily gospel exegesis podcast, 

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,200
the number one country that 
listens to this podcast is in 

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,500
fact, the u.s. overwhelmingly, 
its us listeners that are 

62
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:30,800
listening to this podcast and 
the Philippines is also a 

63
00:03:30,808 --> 00:03:33,300
significant listening country to
this as well. 

64
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:37,500
And so to you guys and all other
overseas countries that are 

65
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:40,600
listening to this podcast, 
hopefully, you'll hear some 

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,500
things that charbel talks about 
in this interview that might get

67
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,800
you interested in looking into 
some, some more Australian 

68
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,300
Catholic Ministries. 
I also wanted to say before we 

69
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,800
start this interview that I'm 
not an interviewer. 

70
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,500
As you know, that normally in 
the podcast, I'll do some 

71
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,300
educational things talking you 
through. 

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Diverse the gospel. 
Now, in this one in this bonus 

73
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,900
episode is actually an 
interview. 

74
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,300
I'm not a professional 
interviewer, and you'll probably

75
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:11,900
be able to tell that as we go. 
But luckily charbel has a whole 

76
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:15,500
lot of great stuff to say, and 
he did most of the work here. 

77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,300
So, in this interview, what 
you'll hear is a bit about 

78
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:22,400
Australian Catholic Ministries 
in general, and then there's 

79
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,900
going to be a section in the 
interview were shall Bell is 

80
00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:28,000
going to go through Australian 
our state by state. 

81
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,200
So he's going to talk about 
What's on offer from a Catholic 

82
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,500
Ministry perspective, in each of
the Australian States, this 

83
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:40,000
section is just gold and so I 
just let charbel go for it here.

84
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,700
He just off the top of his head.
He's just listing fantastic 

85
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:47,900
Ministries from each state and 
its really worth listening to. 

86
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,500
If you're in Australia, please 
have a good listen to that 

87
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,600
section of the interview, share 
it around. 

88
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,900
Tell other people about the 
Ministries that you have heard 

89
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,800
about in this section of the 
interview. 

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,700
And I've included in the episode
description here links to as 

91
00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:05,900
many of the Ministries that he 
mentions in that section. 

92
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,400
As I possibly could I did a bit 
of research to try and match up 

93
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,900
the Ministries that he mentioned
with the links that are 

94
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:14,500
available to them. 
So if you want to go a bit 

95
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,100
deeper on any of those 
Ministries that he mentions, 

96
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,600
hopefully you'll find a link to 
most of those in the episode 

97
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,600
description here towards the end
of the interview. 

98
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,500
Shall Bill talks a bit about 
what Catholic radio stations are

99
00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,600
available in Earlier including 
harm groin ones, as well as 

100
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,200
International ones that we can 
access and also TV what's 

101
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,100
happening in the Australian 
Catholic TV space. 

102
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:40,700
And there's some really 
interesting stuff that you may 

103
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:43,800
not be aware of. 
There's also a bit of a section 

104
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,600
there about the parousia media 
Ministry and what they're 

105
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,700
offering and they've got some 
great stuff planned for 2023 as 

106
00:05:49,700 --> 00:05:51,900
well. 
So please pray fully consider 

107
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,600
supporting the parousia ministry
and also if you're a u.s. 

108
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,600
listener towards the end of The 
interview you'll hear shall 

109
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,000
Bell. 
Make a really important 

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,500
announcement about something. 
That's coming your way, 

111
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:07,400
something that Australian 
Catholics soon to bring to the 

112
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,200
US and that's coming up in 2023.
And then, lastly, the interview 

113
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,300
finishes with some really 
powerful advice from charbel to 

114
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:18,500
Australian Catholics. 
And I think the interview is 

115
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,000
worth listening to adjust for 
those last few minutes where 

116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,300
shall Bell speaks to each of us 
in Australia and tells us what 

117
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:27,200
our attitude should be as 
Catholics. 

118
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,300
What kind of things we should 
be? 

119
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,500
Getting involved in and what God
might be calling us to. 

120
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,600
So this is a bit of a different 
episode and it's quite a long 

121
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,300
one but it's really, really 
solid. 

122
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:40,400
And it's definitely worth 
listening to what shall Bell has

123
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,200
to say here. 
So if you're in Australia and 

124
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,200
you listen to this bonus 
episode, please do share it 

125
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,200
around with other people with 
other Australian, Catholic 

126
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,400
groups, and Catholic Ministries.
And if you are an overseas 

127
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,700
listener, please consider 
checking out some of the 

128
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:57,200
Ministries that are mentioned 
here. 

129
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,300
All right, let's get get into 
the interview. 

130
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Alright. 
Hi everyone.

is a significant Catholic media 

140
00:07:40,900 --> 00:07:43,300
institution, in Australia. 
So, what we want to do in this 

141

00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:55,900
maybe help you link in, with 
some Ministries in the media 

145
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:57,400
world that you haven't thought 
of before. 

146
00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:00,700
For those of you in the US or 
other countries, this is an 

147
00:08:00,700 --> 00:08:03,800
opportunity for you to hear a

You'll known particularly for 

152
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,200
your conversion story. 
Can you give us sort of a brief,

153
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400
overview of how you've come to 
be where you are in the Catholic

154
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,800
media world today? 
Yeah, sure are very briefly. 

155
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:31,300
I basically born and raised as a
cradle Catholic and then I lost,

156
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,299
I fell away from my faith after 
my First. 

157
00:08:33,299 --> 00:08:36,299
Holy Communion went to high 
school at a public school that 

158
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:39,200
high school had, lots of Islamic
students. 

159
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,200
And so those On boys challenge 
me on my faith. 

160
00:08:42,299 --> 00:08:46,200
It got to the point where I was 
invited to go to the mosque. 

161
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,800
I did the shahada prayer gave my
life to Allah and Muhammad O 

162
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,100
have, I'm giving you the super 
Express version here and my life

163
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:55,400
changed that day. 
I actually had to have a shower 

164
00:08:55,900 --> 00:09:01,000
in the mosque. 
I then began to actually pray 

165
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,600
and only present you with the 
prayers when I was a child, our 

166
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,700
fathers and Hail Marys. 
So I ended up praying and I got 

167
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:12,200
home late that that afternoon 
And my mother asked where I was,

168
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,800
and I just sort of casually 
told. 

169
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,900
I was at the Moscone when I when
she freaked out, gave me a huge 

170
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:19,900
slap. 
Across the face said, go to the 

171
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:20,600
church. 
I did. 

172
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,800
I went to a local church st. 
Michael's in bellfield and I 

173
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,800
asked, Jesus directly in the 
Tabernacle. 

174
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Alright Jesus, if you are 
really, he's showing me. 

175
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,600
Do you want me to be a Muslim or
a Christian? 

176
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:36,600
And so, then, after about 30 
minutes, I hear this inner voice

177
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,100
charbel. 
Are you going to give up all 

178
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,700
that I've done for you and I see
on the An outline of a face 

179
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:44,500
which I now know is the Shroud 
of Turin. 

180
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:48,000
It was a simple same image of 
the burial cloth of Jesus. 

181
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,300
So I knew that to be. 
Jesus asking me, am I going to 

182
00:09:51,308 --> 00:09:53,400
turn my back on him and I 
responded? 

183
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,500
No, Lord. 
I'm not going to give you up and

184
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:56,900
this huge weight came off my 
shoulders. 

185
00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:58,900
I'm a Catholic and gonna remain 
a Catholic. 

186
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:03,100
Now, we need to know why. 
So then out of all the parishes 

187
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:06,400
in the country, this very Parish
had apologetics classes. 

188
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,800
So that following week I went to
these classes and I started 

189
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:12,400
Asking questions about the 
Trinity about Divinity of 

190
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,400
Christ. 
How can he ask you to Nature's? 

191
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:20,600
How do we describe God being a 
man, how can we, how can we 

192
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,800
unpack, the idea of the 
crucifixion and Resurrection to 

193
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,200
have evidence of these things? 
So I got my answers week after 

194
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,000
week after week and was 
introduced to Scott Hans, 

195
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,400
cassettes at the time and I used
to listen to heaps of those 

196
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,400
cassettes and I just want to get
more and when I when I asked to 

197
00:10:38,408 --> 00:10:42,700
get more I had the Attacked 
America and the shipping cost to

198
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:47,200
get these to Australia was 
astronomical and and I asked is 

199
00:10:47,208 --> 00:10:48,500
there another way of getting 
these? 

200
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,500
And then they the person on the 
other phone actually Ruben 

201
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:53,800
Quezada who was out in Australia
this year. 

202
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,700
He was the one to sort of plant 
the idea in my mind. 

203
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,000
Why don't you take these 
cassettes, or CDs at the time? 

204
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
It transitioned to CDs and 
manufacture them locally and pay

205
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,900
us a royalty. 
And so that's how it happened 

206
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,800
and I was invited to start an 
apostolate. 

207
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:13,800
Which I did I called it purusa. 
We had, we had a website 

208
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,500
parousia, media.com and little 
angel blowing, a trumpet, you 

209
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:22,000
know, for the coming of Christ, 
the second coming of Christ and 

210
00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:26,100
and that's how we started. 
I had a box of 20 CDs and 

211
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:29,400
started spreading Word of Mouth,
who would like a CD who would 

212
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,600
like to and bit by bit 
bookstores, would contact me? 

213
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,800
And, and, and, and surely slowly
but surely, it started to grow 

214
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,400
from there. 
And that was over 18 years now, 

215
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:43,300
18, Ago when that happened. 
And so it's amazing how time has

216
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:46,100
flown and thanks be to God. 
I'm doing this full time so it's

217
00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:47,900
been a blessing and my life 
changed. 

218
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:51,000
Thanks to my Muslim friends and 
I thank God every day for my 

219
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Muslim friends challenging me 
about my faith because it wasn't

220
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,600
for them. 
I'd be probably a lukewarm 

221
00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:57,800
Catholic. 
Just going to church on 

222
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,400
Christmas and Easter so so I'm 
really grateful for them. 

223
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,000
It's a remarkable Story. 
I mean, you don't often hear. 

224
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:08,200
Ya about Christians who've come 
to the faith particularly 

225
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,200
through Islam. 
But you've got really 

226
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,500
interesting element. 
Yeah. 

227
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,600
And interesting how you know, 
you started looking for media 

228
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,700
resources yourself and you 
realize it's actually quite 

229
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:21,100
expensive to get them in from 
the US and that started a bit of

230
00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:23,800
a journey. 
So I guess for those in the u.s.

231
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,100
many of you would probably know 
that a lot of other countries 

232
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:31,500
particularly Western countries 
tend to rely on the us. 

233
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,900
But we tend to use a lot of u.s.
resources. 

234
00:12:33,900 --> 00:12:35,800
We look at a lot of us 
Ministries. 

235
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:38,800
A lot of the, you know, the 
famous Catholic guest speakers, 

236
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,900
a lot of them come out of the 
Wes, I think it's, that's 

237
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:43,700
problem for historical reasons. 
Really? 

238
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,600
I know you've traveled to the 
u.s. charbel when you, when you 

239
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,700
compare Australia and the US, 
and I know it's not easy to 

240
00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:55,000
compare two countries, but in 
terms of Catholic demographics, 

241
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,400
Christian demographics. 
Would you say that both 

242
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,500
Christian countries? 
One is one's not. 

243
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,600
What are the big differences 
that jump out at you between the

244
00:13:01,608 --> 00:13:04,200
two countries? 
Yeah very interesting. 

245
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,700
I think in America there would 
be probably more of a Christian 

246
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600
Our culture funny enough, even 
though it's very secular in, you

247
00:13:13,608 --> 00:13:17,500
know, between the Hollywood and 
the media, but for the most 

248
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,500
part, when you, when you 
traveling around there are a lot

249
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:25,500
more Christians or those who are
least admitting their Christian 

250
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,900
so born-agains or or Evangelical
Christians and there's quite a 

251
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:34,400
few in Australia. 
We do have, you know, similar 

252
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,700
percentage. 
I think we're 23 percent 

253
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:39,400
Catholic where 51 percent 
Christian, in Australia. 

254
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:43,400
Just doesn't feel like it at all
in Australia, anywhere you go. 

255
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,300
It's very we keep our faith to 
our self. 

256
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:49,600
We don't really talk about it. 
So the very the Christians that 

257
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,000
are in Australia are quite 
reserved and so it goes down to 

258
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,400
the different cultures that the 
Australian way were bit more 

259
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,200
laid-back. 
We don't like to intrude on 

260
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,300
people and we sort of hold 
things to ourselves a bit and in

261
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:04,900
America, they definitely got a 
fighting spirit. 

262
00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:07,000
So they stand up for what they 
believe in. 

263
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,700
And, and sometimes, yeah, you 
have these polarized. 

264
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,700
These groups, you know, that the
far left and the far right. 

265
00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:16,700
And, and what happens is they're
standing up for their beliefs 

266
00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,300
and that's interesting in 
Australia, we're sort of in the 

267
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:20,700
middle. 
There we sort of eye, yet, 

268
00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:25,600
whatever, anything goes, and 
she'll be right and sort of each

269
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,500
to their own and and and try not
to be intrusive although that is

270
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,200
changing in recent times the 
last few years, I've noticed a 

271
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,300
little bit more you know 
activity happening bit more 

272
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:39,400
protests. 
And But ultimately I think 

273
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:43,400
Because definitely we're about 
10 to 20 years behind America as

274
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,300
far as the cultural side of 
things. 

275
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,100
But it's interesting in the on 
the Catholic structural way it's

276
00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:53,100
quite different to because in 
America that are a lot of 

277
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:56,800
programs in the parishes. 
Lent is a big deal. 

278
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,900
And so during Lent, they've got 
Lenten missions and Advent 

279
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,500
missions. 
And there's all these different 

280
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:07,500
things and you know, great work.
Shout out to Great initiative 

281
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:09,700
from Augustine Institute, the 
lighthouse Catholic media. 

282
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,600
Got stands and lots of parishes 
formed. 

283
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,300
They've got all these programs 
Ascension press and doing all 

284
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:18,900
these great things speakers. 
There's a there's actually a bit

285
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:22,100
of a speaking circuit there 
where people are living and 

286
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:26,700
speaking full-time and we just 
we hardly have many in 

287
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:29,200
Australia. 
I think we can count them on one

288
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,100
hand and that's with a real 
Ministry behind them and support

289
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:37,900
but ultimately looking at the to
we have a the government funding

290
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:39,700
for schools and that is an 
interesting angle. 

291
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:45,900
America doesn't so the diocese 
run the schools in Australia. 

292
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,200
In America, the parish is 
separate from the from the 

293
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,900
church from the school. 
So the school is in there, 

294
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:55,400
typically independent, even 
Catholic schools, there's no 

295
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Government funding. 
So, because of that in 

296
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,000
Australia, having the 
government, funding means that 

297
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,200
there are, I guess there's 
certain influences, although I 

298
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,600
speak to many in the Catholic 
schools, There's nothing really 

299
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,800
restricting. 
Catholics from being bold about 

300
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,000
the faith. 
It's not as though the 

301
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,300
government tells them what to 
say. 

302
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,700
Yes. 
However, there is a there is an 

303
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:21,200
understanding that I'll because 
it's Government funding, we have

304
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,600
to sort of, I don't know, 
respect it in a way and so I 

305
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,100
feel that it's restricting the 
way the the religion is taught 

306
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,900
in Catholic schools and so you 
are seeing although we could do 

307
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,400
anything we want in Catholic 
schools in Australia and we've 

308
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,600
got the government, funding got 
the finances, we Definitely got 

309
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000
a long way to go in, really 
boldly. 

310
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,400
Proclaiming, I guess the 
fullness of what the Catholic 

311
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,500
church has to offer and so there
are that's a different. 

312
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:52,900
That's definitely a big 
difference as far as the school 

313
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:56,200
structures are done. 
However, in saying all that, 

314
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,400
we're fairly similar in the 
sense that were secular, we've 

315
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,099
become more and more secular as 
in 20, 22 23, so, that's 

316
00:17:05,099 --> 00:17:08,400
definitely a similarity. 
Yeah, and certainly many of the 

317
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,800
like, the moral challenges that 
have come up in the US with 

318
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,200
Blackbird the legal things that 
have been voted on. 

319
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,400
In terms of abortion, gay 
marriage, the same things are 

320
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,599
happening in Australia. 
The exact same issues are on the

321
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:21,800
cards and you know similar 
things are happening there. 

322
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,400
Yeah. 
So you know pivoting to 

323
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:31,000
Australia, can you think of any 
big Australian Catholic 

324
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,900
Ministries that Australia would 
be known for is a couple of like

325
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:38,600
big names that you can think of?
Yeah, father, robbed, Galia does

326
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,800
stand out as a he's doing 
amazing work with his music 

327
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,900
Ministry, but also his. 
He's also giving tours and 

328
00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:50,200
pilgrimages and conferences. 
He's always given talks as well.

329
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,000
Now, he goes into schools so he 
has a real big Ministry and he's

330
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,400
fairly known in the states as 
well. 

331
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,900
Father robbed, Galia. 
He was famous for going on, was 

332
00:17:58,900 --> 00:18:02,800
at The X Factor and he actually 
made it through to the next 

333
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,900
round, but he had to withdraw 
because of his commitment. 

334
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,000
His Priestly commitment. 
So I mean that's that's one on a

335
00:18:10,008 --> 00:18:12,300
large scale. 
He's only one person but he's 

336
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:16,900
doing doing great work. 
I would say, I mean, and I'm 

337
00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:21,000
thinking of groups outside of 
our own so good friends. 

338
00:18:22,100 --> 00:18:25,200
Real talk is definitely up there
that they're very strong up in 

339
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,900
Queensland but they are 
spreading across the country and

340
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:32,000
poorness is doing good work 
there. 

341
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,500
So I would definitely highlight 
Them. 

342
00:18:37,100 --> 00:18:40,300
They've also got other 
Ministries pmrc. 

343
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:44,700
So the parola couple. 
So you got Byron and Francine 

344
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,800
parola and and they have the 
marriage Resource Center and 

345
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,500
they are doing great work for 
engaged. 

346
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:53,500
Couples, married, couples, and 
they've been gone for a while 

347
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:56,800
now. 
So there's definitely a standout

348
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:02,800
in Les apostolis and Ministries.
Yeah, yeah, fire at Ministries. 

349
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,500
Has been a more recent one, 
Simon Carrington good friend of 

350
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:09,800
mine and He's been traveling the
country preaching and teaching 

351
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,800
about Chastity and Purity. 
So he's I call him the Jason 

352
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,700
Everett of Australia and his 
wife as well, a Madeline, she's 

353
00:19:16,700 --> 00:19:20,300
like, you know, Jason and 
kristalina Everett the Ozzy. 

354
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:22,900
Version will be Simon and 
Madeline Carrington so they're 

355
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:28,200
doing some great work as well. 
Yeah, there are others. 

356
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,600
There are very few that are on 
the scale I guess I guess what 

357
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,100
we try to do. 
But there's certainly quite a 

358
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:42,900
few great apostolate. 
Yeah, I'm sure we can unpack a 

359
00:19:42,908 --> 00:19:46,300
few more if you like, but 
they're just top of my head 

360
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:48,600
right now. 
But yeah, definitely more out 

361
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,900
there. 
But then, if I was to go state 

362
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:54,600
by state, that might be easier 
to break it down, but let's do 

363
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,500
that. 
So so for those induced raelia, 

364
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,700
what shall bow is going to try 
and do here is sort of move 

365
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:00,600
through. 
Yeah. 

366
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,000
Six States to territories. 
Okay. 

367
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,400
So it's a total so Yeah, sure if
I was going to I'm going to get 

368
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,200
you to go through. 
If you go through each of those 

369
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,900
eight, can you maybe give us one
or two that are key standouts 

370
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,100
and each of those. 
Yes, so starting with, let's go 

371
00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:23,000
from, let's go from Tasmania. 
Will start from the bottom up. 

372
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,200
You want to go that way? 
It's true. 

373
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,100
That has Vania the little item 
has man. 

374
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:30,400
You got Sam Sam clear there and 
so Sam clear, he's famous for 

375
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,500
walking around the world for 
Christian unity and he's got a 

376
00:20:34,508 --> 00:20:36,900
documentary called Road to 
Adolfo. 

377
00:20:37,100 --> 00:20:40,400
He's produced but he goes around
schools, giving Retreats and 

378
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,400
reflection days. 
And he's doing wonderful work 

379
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:47,900
especially in the youth space 
but also giving information to 

380
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:50,400
teachers as well. 
So Sam clearly is a standout in 

381
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,600
Tasmania. 
It was recently actually the 

382
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,600
some religious orders that are 
involved in evangelization as 

383
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,100
well. 
Need a bit of a shout out, but 

384
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,300
immaculate of this is immaculate
of were in Tasmania though. 

385
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:04,400
Now moved up two, armored 
outside New South Wales. 

386
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,400
So but but That they're doing 
wonderful work as we move up to 

387
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,500
Victoria, you've got a couple of
Pub Ministries. 

388
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:14,900
So you've got theology at the 
pub. 

389
00:21:15,300 --> 00:21:17,500
They're doing great things 
there, where they've got monthly

390
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:22,200
talks and there's God and be so 
John Smythe who actually found a

391
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,900
theology at the pub. 
So many years ago now it started

392
00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:28,200
God and be but we've got to Pub 
Ministries. 

393
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,000
That are doing great and you get
hundreds of young adults coming 

394
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,100
to these talks every single 
month. 

395
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,500
You've also got now that's Lon. 
As recently as radio Maria, the 

396
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:41,600
based in Melbourne, but they are
broadcast across Australia. 

397
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,400
So they're doing great father, 
Sam, and his team. 

398
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:48,700
There there are international 
organization and so now the 

399
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:51,200
Australian arm has been launched
and recently. 

400
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,800
So they're doing wonderful work 
there is now these fossati 

401
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,200
houses that are starting as 
well. 

402
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,700
So these are young men who are 
dedicating their life, they'll 

403
00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:04,300
have their professional life but
they'll also live in common with

404
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:07,100
some other men. 
Lee single but not all. 

405
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,600
And it's almost like a 
discernment house but they have 

406
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,000
their own jobs but they come 
together and they have 

407
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000
evangelization activities where 
they might have a barbecue on 

408
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,500
one one day a week, the might go
to the pub and other day week, 

409
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,300
they'll they'll have Bible 
studies or talks or just 

410
00:22:25,300 --> 00:22:28,600
get-togethers and prayer. 
They do praying common once or 

411
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,700
twice a week. 
So it's not a it's not really a 

412
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:35,300
religious order but there'll a 
movement doing wonderful work 

413
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,100
and there. 
They're both in Melbourne and 

414
00:22:37,100 --> 00:22:41,900
Brisbane then I mean you've got 
a bunch of other dialysis and 

415
00:22:41,900 --> 00:22:46,000
groups across Melbourne and 
they're doing great work. 

416
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,000
I have to I have to point out on
a national level though that the

417
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,500
mission team Youth mission team.
So the Disciples of Jesus are 

418
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:58,400
doing great work there where 
they are so they're not a they 

419
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,900
are connected to the mg/l as 
missionaries of God's love. 

420
00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:06,700
So the founder father Ken Barker
they now In case that I have, 

421
00:23:06,700 --> 00:23:10,400
like a thousand young people 
come together every year around 

422
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,900
Easter time, and so they're 
across the country now. 

423
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:17,600
And so you have brothers priest 
sisters and then you got the lay

424
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,000
movement and that's the 
Disciples of Jesus and within 

425
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,800
that you've got the Youth 
mission teams. 

426
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:27,300
And so there's a strong presence
in Melbourne and also in New 

427
00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:29,100
South Wales and in Western 
Australia. 

428
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:34,500
But so I'll keep moving through.
As we come Victoria, let's go 

429
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:35,900
New South Wales will come up, 
the East Coast. 

430
00:23:35,908 --> 00:23:38,700
Coast. 
But New South Wales right across

431
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:41,500
New, South Wales. 
Sydney, there's a great. 

432
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,500
Let's start in Sydney, very 
quickly as Sydney. 

433
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:49,300
We've got theology on top, which
do great work, monthly, talks, 

434
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Pub Ministry. 
We got the marriage resource 

435
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,600
center with the parole has, I 
would have to put parousia in 

436
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,100
there. 
We're based in Sydney and what 

437
00:23:58,100 --> 00:24:01,700
we're doing and happy to talk a 
bit about what we do it later on

438
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:05,700
there are yes, we got fire at 
Ministries in Sydney. 

439
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,900
We've also got there's quite a 
few youth groups that are linked

440
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:15,300
to parishes but they are sort of
independent as well. 

441
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,000
They're doing great works, like 
Guardians like flame Ministries.

442
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,600
Like my goodness, that there's 
so many youth ones, adult 

443
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,400
formation groups, there's youth 
groups and they're starting to 

444
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:35,000
pop up across the city, so it's 
great to see if I was to keep 

445
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,600
moving up. 
We've got, we've got in over in 

446
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,900
Canberra. 
I know that they used. 

447
00:24:41,900 --> 00:24:44,900
They did have a Guinness and 
God, and I think that was a 

448
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,200
linked with a. 
See you at the time, there is 

449
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,000
talk about resurrecting that so 
Australian, Catholic University 

450
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,300
also, starting to stretch their 
wings. 

451
00:24:53,300 --> 00:24:57,800
And so, there are Crossover with
Ministries that are sort of 

452
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,500
linked with the diocese in some 
capacity or with universities. 

453
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,300
But as you go through this 
exciting news about another Pub 

454
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:07,100
Ministry. 
Being launched in Canberra 

455
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,900
that's coming out next year. 
I can't say the name yet because

456
00:25:10,900 --> 00:25:15,900
about to be launched but then we
move up over the Augustine 

457
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,300
Academy over in treatment. 
They're doing some great work. 

458
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:22,900
Not only offering courses for 
for young people but also 

459
00:25:23,100 --> 00:25:25,100
getting out in the community, 
they're doing activities. 

460
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:28,000
I was at a bush dance, not that 
long ago actually and they're 

461
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,400
just doing things that involve 
The Wider community in 

462
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,900
evangelizing and a great way as 
we keep coming up, you got waga 

463
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:39,000
and Aubrey and And, you know, as
far as lay of that there is a 

464
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,200
there is a makers table there. 
So Janet Smith is doing some 

465
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,400
great work there with bringing 
together, mostly mothers but 

466
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,800
it's not limited to mothers as 
women of all ages, come together

467
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,600
and they make arts and crafts. 
And it's tapping into the idea 

468
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,700
that God created us. 
And we also have a way of 

469
00:25:57,700 --> 00:26:00,800
co-creating with God. 
So using our creative side. 

470
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,900
So they create arts and crafts, 
and things like that. 

471
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:07,500
That honor and glorify God. 
They're doing wonderful work. 

472
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:14,100
There's also a woman's help 
Ministry over there as well that

473
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:18,100
are helping Crisis crisis, 
pregnancy movements and 

474
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:22,400
movements there I can't forget 
while I'm still up here we had 

475
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,600
family life International doing 
things promoting the sanctity of

476
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,500
human life. 
So they promote they defend, you

477
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:35,100
know, the women and help women 
who are pregnant who who need 

478
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:39,700
support And then, as we go up, 
we go up to Queensland, and 

479
00:26:39,700 --> 00:26:42,900
you've got for society young 
young people, they're doing 

480
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:44,100
that. 
There's also a women's group, I 

481
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:46,800
can't remember the name of the 
women's ones yet but their 

482
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,200
LinkedIn. 
There's another oratory that's 

483
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,900
been launched a couple of years 
ago and you work through. 

484
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:58,000
You've got real talk by porn in 
us and real talk is doing great 

485
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,900
work. 
Going to schools talking about 

486
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:03,000
the problems of pornography 
addictions in general 

487
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:05,700
relationships, Chastity. 
That did. 

488
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:09,600
Great work. 
And then I have to connect the 

489
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,600
the Bishops evangelization 
office is a good friend of ours,

490
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,000
a deacon, Peter Pelican who, who
was a convert from the 

491
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,300
Protestant church. 
He was a Pentecostal Minister 

492
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:23,300
and he became Catholic and now 
is a deacon in the church and 

493
00:27:23,300 --> 00:27:26,100
now his head of director of 
evangelization and he's actually

494
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:30,900
doing quite amazing work there 
in Brisbane and the Archdiocese,

495
00:27:30,900 --> 00:27:33,600
but he's got his own thing going
on as well. 

496
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,700
They used to have faith on tap 
tap there. 

497
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,000
There and I think, I don't know 
if they're going to resurrect 

498
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,100
that, I hope they do. 
But that was a great initiative 

499
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:46,500
as well up in Brisbane. 
And as we move through, as we 

500
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:50,400
move over to Northern Territory.
I'm not really sure of too many 

501
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,200
groups up there. 
So I know there was one group. 

502
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,600
I just haven't got a top of my 
my tongue sorry but Northern 

503
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Territory. 
There was one up right up in 

504
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,700
Darwin. 
I just can't remember the name. 

505
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:11,900
Sorry but It slips me but South 
Australia, they had, they had 

506
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:16,000
another Pub talk group, they do 
in Pub talks once a month and 

507
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:22,200
they're doing great work there. 
So, yeah, South Australia. 

508
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,900
Some other initiatives that are 
trying to get off the ground but

509
00:28:26,900 --> 00:28:30,300
hoping this fertile soil there, 
there really want to do a lot 

510
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:33,400
more in South Australia, in 
Adelaide trying, not to mention 

511
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,200
the Diocese of ones because they
are all the Official groups and 

512
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,000
so many. 
I mean, I could I could go but 

513
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,700
I'm I'm trying to focus on the 
the independence but but yeah, 

514
00:28:43,300 --> 00:28:45,100
yeah, anyone else I'm sorry if I
missed anyone. 

515
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:49,300
I know that Adelaide is is 
trying to do a lot more, but as 

516
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:54,700
we go to Western Australia, 
you've got the national 

517
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:59,200
evangelization team Australian 
evangelization Australia, which 

518
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,200
is a new group started. 
Four years ago, started bringing

519
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,200
out speakers, Michael Chong I 
convert from the Anglican Church

520
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:07,800
in How these convert to come 
into the Catholic faith and are 

521
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,500
so active is great, but he 
started this and and they've 

522
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:14,900
been doing wonderful work. 
They get thousands of people 

523
00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:20,200
every year to conferences and so
they're definitely a big one to 

524
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,100
look out. 
For of course, Disciples of 

525
00:29:22,108 --> 00:29:25,100
Jesus are there as well in 
Western Australia and they're 

526
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:31,200
doing some great work over there
and there are a few others. 

527
00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:35,100
Not sure if there was a pub 
Ministry that started recently. 

528
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,600
And then I'm not even mentioning
a lots of different Catholic 

529
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,700
book stores and things like 
that. 

530
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:44,600
I'm not even touching on those. 
But there are there used to be 

531
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,200
the record had a bookstore. 
Now I think they're just a 

532
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,600
journal, they're just doing 
articles there but I think 

533
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,900
they're now tied in with the 
Archdiocese or very there's some

534
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:57,100
collaboration. 
But you know, the Rich Harvest 

535
00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:02,500
is a place doing things. 
There's the ghetto, Bookshop 

536
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:05,200
does other bookstores? 
And from that, they do, they 

537
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,900
have. 
You know, launches book, 

538
00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:10,900
launches and things like that. 
But that's a very quickly going 

539
00:30:10,900 --> 00:30:15,000
through like a speed train going
through everything, they're just

540
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,200
up hostile. 
It's not I'm not even touching 

541
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,700
on the ones that do media. 
That's another category as well.

542
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:22,300
But yeah, yeah. 
Michelle Banks do? 

543
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,300
Yeah. 
Those of you who are Straley and

544
00:30:24,300 --> 00:30:24,800
listeners. 
What? 

545
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,500
You just heard there was really 
really solid stuff. 

546
00:30:27,500 --> 00:30:30,000
Hopefully you heard something in
there for you based on where you

547
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,300
live. 
You know this little podcast is 

548
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:35,700
probably worth sharing around 
just for what you heard there. 

549
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,900
From charbel, there is great 
stuff happening in Australia. 

550
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,900
We might just talk quickly about
radio. 

551
00:30:42,900 --> 00:30:46,100
So if you live in Australia and 
you're a Catholic and you want 

552
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:49,300
to tune into some Catholic 
radio, what are the options 

553
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:53,900
there? 
Yeah, so Digital radio is what's

554
00:30:53,900 --> 00:30:56,600
happening at the moment. 
There was a time when the church

555
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:02,400
did actually own an AM station 
station on the am frequency, but

556
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,200
that's now sold off. 
They don't have it anymore and 

557
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,300
then There was also in Western 
Australia. 

558
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:12,200
I know there was there still 
might have it an hour a week 

559
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,400
where they're on on your 
mainstream radio on a Sunday, 

560
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,700
the calf sounds Catholic. 
I think it is, it's on a Sunday 

561
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:25,400
night, they have it an hour. 
But then, if I was to say really

562
00:31:26,900 --> 00:31:29,900
there's a Maronite radio station
called voice of Charity, and so 

563
00:31:29,900 --> 00:31:33,700
they're definitely one on the 
there on the am 1701 am. 

564
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:39,400
So it's Right up on the dial and
there they can be heard right up

565
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,500
and down the East Coast but they
also use what's called an arrow 

566
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:47,400
caste system. 
So they broadcast out in Sydney 

567
00:31:47,700 --> 00:31:51,100
and the East Coast, but then 
anyone outside say Western 

568
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:54,800
Australia or laid, you get a 
narrowcast radio and tune in 

569
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,000
that way, but they're 24 hours 7
days a week and it's a mixture 

570
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
of English and Arabic 
programming. 

571
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,100
So, that's the voice of Charity 
crazy 0, which is still 

572
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,700
existing. 
It's still going, it's not got 

573
00:32:07,700 --> 00:32:12,100
the 24 hour, seven days a week 
programming anymore, but it does

574
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:14,300
have an archive of over 3,000 
shows. 

575
00:32:14,700 --> 00:32:17,800
So for 10 years, Archbishop 
porteous launched it independent

576
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,500
from the church, it was his own 
initiative and and we've been 

577
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:22,900
privileged to be partners with 
crazy. 

578
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:24,600
Oh. 
So you can go too crazy 0, dot, 

579
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,800
org, and .a you and you'll see 
three thousand different shows 

580
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,300
st. 
Of the day and another 

581
00:32:30,300 --> 00:32:35,500
Reflections talks you name it 
then recently radio Maria. 

582
00:32:36,100 --> 00:32:40,000
Is now here in a big way. 
So look out Australia. 

583
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,700
Radio Maria. 
Highly recommend it. 

584
00:32:41,900 --> 00:32:47,400
It's there now starting to 
broadcast 24/7 and you'll see 

585
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,300
some great Australian content on
there. 

586
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:53,800
I understand your podcast is on 
there so that's really good. 

587
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,700
Yeah, you're ready. 
Maria is, I think there were 

588
00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:58,400
only just started in Melbourne. 
I reckon 12 months ago, or maybe

589
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,000
a little bit more and they're 
working real. 

590
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,700
I know, because I've had 
conversations with them, they're

591
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:05,400
working really hard to get 
Australian, grown fresh content 

592
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,100
out there. 
We're not just recycling. 

593
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:10,200
Other stuff, putting Australian 
Catholic music on the Australian

594
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,700
podcasts. 
Yeah, the daily gospel exegesis 

595
00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:14,800
podcast is on there. 
I think, once in the morning, 

596
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,300
and once in the afternoon, so 
that's an option. 

597
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:19,200
If you're an Australian 
listener, and you want to listen

598
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,800
to it that way. 
EWTN radio is there as well. 

599
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,400
They're, they're starting to 
there's an EWTN Asia Pacific Rim

600
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,900
and they are now broadcasting in
this region, with the stroke 

601
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:35,300
with Australian and asia-pacific
content. 

602
00:33:35,300 --> 00:33:38,700
So, so local to this region, I 
guess of the world, and how do 

603
00:33:38,700 --> 00:33:41,400
you get access to that one? 
The EWTN. 

604
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:46,800
You go to ewtn.com and then you 
go under the satellite and 

605
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,000
options and you'll select 
asia-pacific. 

606
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:54,200
So, there's about six different 
channels within the EWTN world. 

607
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,300
So USA have their own 
programming. 

608
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:00,300
Canada has a separate program. 
I think there's even South 

609
00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:04,800
America, Germany, India and 
Africa might be different. 

610
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,500
And then and In Asia Pacific is 
a different one, so yeah, 

611
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:12,900
they're doing great work. 
Shalom world is more in the TV 

612
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:14,800
side, although they might have 
radio as well. 

613
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,800
I'm not sure. 
But it's all digital, but you'll

614
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,800
on world now has an Australian 
only channel. 

615
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,400
So you go to Shalom world, and 
you'll see that there's an 

616
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,600
American Channel or an 
international Channel. 

617
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,900
And then there's UK and in 
Australia, Yes. 

618
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,500
Yeah, let's talk about TV a 
little bit. 

619
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:36,500
Now this is an area. 
I don't know much about now. 

620
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:39,600
Obviously, you've got some of 
the main stream channels do like

621
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,000
a. 
They do put Sunday mass on 

622
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,800
pretty early on Sundays usually,
so yeah, that's right. 

623
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,800
I think they have Channel Town 
it. 

624
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:48,800
Yeah. 
Two-hour block on some days. 

625
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,300
Is that right? 
You know much about those 

626
00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:50,900
shopping? 
Yeah. 

627
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,400
Yeah, in the morning, I'm 
starting to see lots of 

628
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:59,300
different priests. 
I think over in broken Bay in 

629
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:01,500
Sydney, North part of Sydney, 
and also will. 

630
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:06,600
Along the south south of Sydney.
There's a these weekly Mass it's

631
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,900
done in a studio and and so 
that's done the mass at home. 

632
00:35:10,100 --> 00:35:14,300
That's been on ABC channel. 10 
has been on different channels 

633
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:17,000
and it's been great to see 
that's that's been gone for a 

634
00:35:17,008 --> 00:35:19,700
few years now. 
And yeah, it's wonderful to know

635
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:21,900
that we have a presence on 
secular. 

636
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,300
Exactly. 
Yeah. 

637
00:35:23,300 --> 00:35:25,500
Yeah. 
That's Sunday mornings early 

638
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:32,000
mornings. 
But I think that's as far as TV.

639
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:36,000
There was on channel nine over 
in Perth, the Catholic guy. 

640
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,600
So he actually had TV presence 
in Perth. 

641
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,300
I don't know if it's still being
aired weekly, but the Catholic 

642
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:48,600
guy definitely has some TV 
presents and he's definitely 

643
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:52,000
pave the way in that space over 
there. 

644
00:35:52,300 --> 00:35:56,400
And he's now based in the South 
part of Sydney and his going 

645
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,200
strength to strength. 
So he's moved from Perth to 

646
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,400
Sydney and he's now. 
Yeah, expanding his. 

647
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,700
Ministry as well. 
So the couple of guy I remember 

648
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:07,600
being part are not, don't think 
it's happening anymore. 

649
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,800
But years ago, after World youth
day around World youth day, tell

650
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:18,100
Apache, which is a Vatican TV or
around you from Rome and and 

651
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,200
there was an Australian content 
Channel. 

652
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:25,200
And so I was involved in that in
the broadcasting of it and we 

653
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,800
shared some of the parousia 
content, then this is over of 

654
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,900
our for 15 years, 16 years ago, 
naps So so that will that lasted

655
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:39,000
for a few years. 
And then, of course, there's 

656
00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:44,200
there are a few others that are 
just online online TV. 

657
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,800
ROM, ROM Sky, Rome skyways. 
A is it from without a walker? 

658
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,800
Sure. 
If you're familiar with that one

659
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:56,100
but yeah, father Jared Ryan he 
launched that and that's still 

660
00:36:56,100 --> 00:36:58,100
going. 
That's airing every every day, 

661
00:36:58,200 --> 00:36:59,800
there's something there. 
It's on demand. 

662
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,300
They've got good content. 
Some of our stuff is there. 

663
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:10,400
Yeah, so that's as far as TV. 
Is there any mini like I know 

664
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,600
you like, yeah, they do this and
be in the u.s., is there any 

665
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:16,700
channels broadcasting where you 
can buy like a satellite to put 

666
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:19,900
on you on your house, that will 
get you channel to your TV? 

667
00:37:19,900 --> 00:37:21,800
24/7. 
Do we have anything like that? 

668
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:24,900
Yeah, EWTN, definitely. 
Either with the ends there. 

669
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,200
I'm not sure if she'll on world 
have that. 

670
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:35,200
I think they're just digital 
come on, but yet, EWTN stands 

671
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,800
out for me as the 24/7 Channel. 
Good. 

672
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,500
All right. 
Yeah, thank you Cheryl. 

673
00:37:41,500 --> 00:37:44,600
So Now podcast there's we were 
talking about this before the 

674
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,600
show started. 
There's actually heaps of 

675
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,600
Australian growing Catholic 
podcasts. 

676
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,500
There's a list of about 40 of 
them on the national 

677
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,400
evangelization Center website so
I'll include that link in the 

678
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,100
show notes definitely. 
Tell us about what you think is 

679
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:02,000
happening in the podcast base. 
What are some of the big podcast

680
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,500
at the moment that are making a 
difference? 

681
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:06,900
Yeah, excellent. 
We have to start with yours. 

682
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:09,900
Of course, the daily gospel 
exegesis, that's got to be up 

683
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,300
there. 
As a major one, a good friend of

684
00:38:12,300 --> 00:38:15,700
my father Peters Vance, Corona 
of thorns, he called it. 

685
00:38:15,700 --> 00:38:20,200
The corona of thorns he's from 
Adelaide and so he's got a, some

686
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,800
great Reflections, their father,
Paul Chandler. 

687
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,300
Who's also someone an author of 
ours is in Armadale. 

688
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,200
Hold, I stand at the door and 
knock that's @pw Chandler. 

689
00:38:31,300 --> 00:38:35,800
Dot buzzsprout.com. 
Yeah, definitely know him. 

690
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:39,400
Father or it says Deacon Sam 
french fries actually father, 

691
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,500
Sam French, the average 
Shepherd. 

692
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:43,900
He's now a priest father Sam 
French. 

693
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:49,300
He's definitely worth listening 
to the furnace in Sydney, the 

694
00:38:49,300 --> 00:38:54,200
record and and the these 
archdiocese ones that I'm not 

695
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,500
too familiar with, but they look
very interesting. 

696
00:38:57,100 --> 00:38:59,600
The down the Catholic life, I 
have to give a shout-out Peter 

697
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,600
Holmes doing great work with 
that that podcast. 

698
00:39:04,900 --> 00:39:08,800
And then fire up Podcast with 
Simon and Madeline Carrington. 

699
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,700
Very good, Catholic influence 
podcast, with Father robbed 

700
00:39:11,700 --> 00:39:15,800
Galia, Universal Sisterhood. 
Jessica Doty is doing great work

701
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:21,000
there, Karen Doyle, she's she's 
got a great ministry, season 

702
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,400
camera, I forgot about her, but 
she's doing great work Karen and

703
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,300
her husband, Jonathan How could 
I forget them? 

704
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:30,600
They've been doing it for years 
of doing great work, genius 

705
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,300
podcast for women. 
So that's, that's definitely 

706
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:37,700
recommended virtue Ministry. 
This is a living fullness 

707
00:39:37,700 --> 00:39:41,200
podcast. 
And then Bishop a, he's got a 

708
00:39:41,207 --> 00:39:43,700
funny one of the Episcopal 
podcast and he's the famous 

709
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:49,900
Bishop that does all the memes. 
And I would, I would say then 

710
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,200
the Catholic toolbox is there, 
George manasa is in Sydney, he's

711
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,600
on various platforms and then 
there's our Peru. 

712
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,800
A podcast which is it was there.
I highly recommend as well. 

713
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,100
We had you on just recently. 
Yeah yeah so we did an episode 

714
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,900
where I'll talk a bit about the 
daily gospel exegesis put us 

715
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:09,400
thank you for having me on. 
It was hardly having this is a 

716
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,700
good time to talk a bit about 
parousia specifically. 

717
00:40:11,700 --> 00:40:17,700
So you mentioned a bit about the
origin of parousia and I think 

718
00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:20,400
you've what you've offered over 
the years, has sort of change 

719
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,400
and you've experimented with 
different platforms and 

720
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,600
different kinds of shows. 
So parousia is based in Sydney. 

721
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:30,100
But there's a whole lot. 
I know you're offering a whole 

722
00:40:30,100 --> 00:40:32,300
lot of online stuff now. 
So can you give us a bit of a 

723
00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:35,800
run through of what Perugia is 
currently offering to people in 

724
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,800
Australia? 
Yeah, sure. 

725
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,500
We now it's funny. 
The ministry started its bread 

726
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:45,400
and butter was a CD Ministry. 
And now and CDs were our bread 

727
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,300
and butter. 
That was what we survived of 

728
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:50,900
that's now our least popular 
format. 

729
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,800
So, what's interesting is, we've
had to adapt and, and my great 

730
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,600
things online and We have lots 
of MP3s on our website. 

731
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,600
So all the audio talks that were
on CD, they're being transferred

732
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,400
over into MP3s all the DVDs, 
even that's facing out. 

733
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,600
So that's all being transferred 
over into digital. 

734
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,400
So we have a Peruzzi on-demand 
platform that people go to watch

735
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,200
Doc Perugia media.com. 
They'll see a non on-demand 

736
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,300
platform, where you can pretty 
much binge-watch, you know, all 

737
00:41:19,300 --> 00:41:25,400
the content is over. 600 videos 
talks documentaries, some movies

738
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,300
in there as well, courses. 
Has that's all in there. 

739
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:33,100
We launched an academy recently,
a Peruzzi Academy so we realized

740
00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:35,900
that people are wanting more to 
go deeper in their faith. 

741
00:41:35,900 --> 00:41:39,200
And so adult Faith formation was
was a real. 

742
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,200
There was a real need for it and
so we launched that last year 

743
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,600
and we have six courses 
available now seven courses and 

744
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,800
we hope to have 12 by mid-year 
and you know and grow that maybe

745
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,800
1820 courses by next year. 
So we're growing the the 

746
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,600
offerings of what courses we 
offer. 

747
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,900
These are 12 our courses and you
get a certificate at the end of 

748
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:04,700
them. 
We also have a lot of Bible 

749
00:42:04,700 --> 00:42:07,600
studies and events that we do. 
So we go out to parishes and 

750
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,700
we'll run some of the Ascension 
press Bible study. 

751
00:42:10,700 --> 00:42:17,400
So the Bible timeline or all the
biblical walk with Mary or or an

752
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,800
introduction to the mass or 
things on different aspects of 

753
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,800
our faith. 
So Ascension, press st. 

754
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,100
Paul Center Augustine Institute.
They're all got great programs. 

755
00:42:26,900 --> 00:42:30,500
And we run them in parishes, but
we also give we also distribute 

756
00:42:30,500 --> 00:42:32,800
the resources. 
So, a major part of what we do 

757
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:38,000
is distribute these resources, 
the physical books and programs 

758
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,900
and and funny enough. 
What used to be the least 

759
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,000
popular format has become our 
most popular format and that's 

760
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,300
books. 
So books have actually 

761
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,800
overtaking everything. 
So we've got a real publishing 

762
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:53,600
arm now and so parousia 
publishing. 

763
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,700
We've been publishing books, 
four five, six years now, But 

764
00:42:57,900 --> 00:43:02,000
we've really increased the range
of what books we offer and we 

765
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,500
got some Australian authors in 
there. 

766
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,100
So probably about 50 books 
written by Australians and then 

767
00:43:08,100 --> 00:43:13,100
there's probably same sort of 
amount that that we then even 

768
00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:15,900
more than that. 
Now that we redistribute for 

769
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,300
around the world that are with 
our partners so we get license 

770
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:22,100
agreements, we print the books 
locally and pay a royalty. 

771
00:43:22,100 --> 00:43:25,600
So we're trying to solve that 
problem to eliminate shipping 

772
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,000
for this, this region Well, so 
we're sorry. 

773
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,100
Did you say you've got your own 
publishing house as well but you

774
00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:34,300
publish Australian books through
we Australian? 

775
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:36,900
Yeah, that's right. 
So we publish books so far? 

776
00:43:36,900 --> 00:43:39,200
The poor Chandler. 
I noticed on the podcast list. 

777
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,600
Yeah, he's one of them dr. 
Robert Haddad. 

778
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,300
We've got his whole range as 
over ten books there. 

779
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,200
Yeah, there's quite a few books 
that we're doing now and so that

780
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,200
it's been a real real enjoyment 
and joy doing that. 

781
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,900
And I see it's interesting. 
People want the physical book 

782
00:43:55,900 --> 00:43:57,700
still is something. 
About a physical book. 

783
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:02,700
So yeah, from books to study 
programs, to courses, online, to

784
00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:06,700
Live Events, and then our 
podcasts blogs, or trying to 

785
00:44:06,707 --> 00:44:09,100
evangelize. 
And, and form people in the 

786
00:44:09,100 --> 00:44:12,600
Catholic faith, Awesome. 
Yeah, there's so much stuff you 

787
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,800
guys are doing. 
So now, back to the academy 

788
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,300
want. 
This is a project you still 

789
00:44:16,300 --> 00:44:17,800
working on but it's a massive 
thing. 

790
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,100
And as you said that, I think in
Australia, one of the issues or 

791
00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:25,000
Poss I would even say, possibly 
the issue in Australia, is a 

792
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,400
lack of knowledge about the 
faith amongst adults that is. 

793
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,300
So I think what you guys are 
doing with the academy is seems 

794
00:44:32,300 --> 00:44:33,900
like it's going to address that 
really well. 

795
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:39,700
So you said the 12 hour courses 
and are these like written from 

796
00:44:39,700 --> 00:44:41,300
scratch. 
Or developed from scratch 

797
00:44:41,300 --> 00:44:45,300
specifically for parousia. 
Yeah, most of them are there are

798
00:44:45,300 --> 00:44:49,200
ones that have been repackaged. 
So the introduction to 

799
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,700
physiology Body by Christopher 
West, it's a common one that he 

800
00:44:51,707 --> 00:44:52,700
does. 
Sure. 

801
00:44:53,500 --> 00:44:58,600
So it's like TR b 1 so to speak 
at similar and then father 

802
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,200
Spitzer, Robert Spitzer has been
sense Pizza. 

803
00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:04,300
He's a good man. 
Sorry Father, Spitzer, but faith

804
00:45:04,300 --> 00:45:05,700
and science introduction of 
faith and science. 

805
00:45:05,700 --> 00:45:10,600
That's basically a repackaged 
course of his origin of Month. 

806
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,600
So, we merged two or three 
courses that make up one and so 

807
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,900
that was really good and he 
added on an intro and outro and 

808
00:45:18,300 --> 00:45:20,700
did way thing. 
But everything else is 110 

809
00:45:20,700 --> 00:45:23,800
original, so introduction. 
Apologetics bioethics 

810
00:45:23,900 --> 00:45:27,800
christology, we've got seven 
sacraments a deep dive in 

811
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,800
theology body, the Creed and, 
and more coming out. 

812
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,100
There's more coming out. 
The moral life is coming out. 

813
00:45:36,100 --> 00:45:38,000
Great. 
Yeah, actually catechism, yes. 

814
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,100
A lot of these original content,
12 hour courses, some end you 

815
00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:44,800
get a certificate at the end of 
the and how great, you know, 12 

816
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,000
hours. 
That's actually, you know, 

817
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,600
really good. 
It's not too long that it's 

818
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,500
unmanageable but it's not too 
short that it's just a basic 

819
00:45:50,500 --> 00:45:52,500
introduction. 
So it sounds like you're making 

820
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:55,500
something really good there. 
And can you give us an idea of 

821
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:57,200
cost for those who might be 
thinking about? 

822
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,900
Yeah, going that way. 
Yeah, you can actually if you're

823
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:03,600
just doing it for self-interest 
just to learn the faith, it's 99

824
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,200
Australian dollars per course 
and you have 12 months access to

825
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,100
watch all the videos as many 
times. 

826
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:14,100
You like if you wanted to get an
assessment, it's just an extra 

827
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:19,400
$50 $149 and you get to own the 
videos and then so you can 

828
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,500
download them and keep them 
forever. 

829
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,100
But you also then get someone to
grade and assessment. 

830
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:29,400
You submit a 1,000-word essay is
just two pages and if you can 

831
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,900
show that you've gained 
knowledge from the from the 

832
00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:37,100
course, then you get a path with
credit or a pass and and then 

833
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:38,600
you get a certificate of 
completion. 

834
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,800
So we've got about 40 or so 
students. 

835
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,900
Now it's a little over 40 from 
16 countries that are doing 

836
00:46:46,900 --> 00:46:51,800
doing this and we hope to grow 
that in 2023, as more courses, 

837
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,400
come on board. 
So excited about that. 

838
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:54,800
I would definitely encourage 
you. 

839
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,100
Any Australians who are 
listening. 

840
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:58,000
Yeah, really consider doing 
these courses. 

841
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,700
You'd probably the teaching 
you'll get in these May well be 

842
00:47:00,700 --> 00:47:03,100
better than what you might be 
able to get from a longer 

843
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:06,200
University course peeps, 
cheaper, as well. 

844
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,900
So yeah, really have a think 
about whether that's something 

845
00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:12,500
you want to do and then you, you
may be And so just briefly 

846
00:47:12,500 --> 00:47:15,200
parousia podcast. 
That's, is that once a week and 

847
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,000
what kind of guest speakers, do 
you have on that podcast? 

848
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,100
Yeah, that's right. 
So every week, Wednesday 

849
00:47:20,100 --> 00:47:25,900
morning, it goes live. 8 a.m. we
Premier them and it's on 

850
00:47:25,900 --> 00:47:28,100
multiple platforms. 
So we have various speakers we 

851
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:33,300
had just before you we had dr. 
Scott Hahn he was fantastic 

852
00:47:33,300 --> 00:47:37,800
talking about, holy his name, we
also have so many great 

853
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,000
speakers, Jason Everett 
Christopher Sonic we've had 

854
00:47:43,500 --> 00:47:47,000
father, Mike Smith's on, we've 
had had Jeff cavins on, we've 

855
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,000
had dr. 
Edward SRI Deccan Herald book 

856
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,700
service Sonja, Corbitt then 
Australians as well. 

857
00:47:52,700 --> 00:47:59,600
Lots of Australians, so we've 
had a cardinal Pell was on on on

858
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:04,300
one pole Morrissey. 
We've had Daniel beanie North, a

859
00:48:04,300 --> 00:48:09,600
few of the authors that we've 
done the Joanne dimity as we 

860
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,900
forgive those who Published a 
book recently and we had her on.

861
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,000
So your every week is it's 
probably a mixture of Australian

862
00:48:15,300 --> 00:48:19,100
International speakers. 
So 52 weeks a year, they'll be 

863
00:48:19,300 --> 00:48:24,700
say 50/50 guess the year and 
yeah, that it's a probably a 

864
00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:28,300
50/50 split Australians and 
Internationals, when you, when 

865
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:30,200
you look at the whole range. 
Excellent. 

866
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,500
Yeah. 
So can you tell us a bit about? 

867
00:48:34,500 --> 00:48:36,800
So, if you look at the 
Australian media landscape and 

868
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,300
you've been working a Parisian 
parousia, for a long time, What 

869
00:48:40,300 --> 00:48:43,500
are the challenges that you 
often run up against in trying 

870
00:48:43,500 --> 00:48:45,600
to make Catholic media work in 
Australia? 

871
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:49,700
Yeah, funding her for many 
people. 

872
00:48:49,700 --> 00:48:53,400
It's quite expensive to get your
material on the mainstream 

873
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,800
platform. 
So if you want to get a break 

874
00:48:55,800 --> 00:49:00,100
through to the channel, 7, 9 and
10, if you want to get there, 

875
00:49:00,100 --> 00:49:04,300
that's a next level but it's 
huge amounts of money and then 

876
00:49:04,300 --> 00:49:05,900
interest growing an audience as 
well. 

877
00:49:05,900 --> 00:49:09,200
Making sure that people do have 
an audience to talk to. 

878
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,400
So sometimes we, we are very 
small in Australia compared to 

879
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,500
the States but but we might you 
Locally and you start getting 

880
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:20,000
out there and bit by bit word 
spreads and then because it's 

881
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,400
online, it's accessible. 
So I think going online is 

882
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,700
definitely been a game-changer 
for media. 

883
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,600
So You Tube stations have 
skyrocketed, there's all these 

884
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:35,300
other options online. 
Now podcasting is been huge and 

885
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:40,000
I think more and more Australian
podcasts are surfacing and so 

886
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,800
they're all accessible online. 
So, anyone in the world can tap 

887
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,800
into them, it's for free. 
It doesn't cost anything to 

888
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:46,500
upload. 
Them. 

889
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,200
So so the challenge Now is 
really just getting the word 

890
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:52,500
out. 
So making sure there's a bit of 

891
00:49:52,500 --> 00:49:56,200
cross-promotion people are 
helping to do what you're doing 

892
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,500
here to promote other good 
initiatives. 

893
00:49:58,500 --> 00:50:03,700
Yeah, encourage people to to 
discover the other podcast and 

894
00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:07,100
platforms and sometimes this is 
the church and maybe Americans 

895
00:50:07,100 --> 00:50:11,600
can relate to this. 
But when you've got lots of 

896
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,400
independent Catholic 
organizations, and then you've 

897
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,600
got lots of organizations. 
As part of the agencies of the 

898
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:22,500
church, sometimes there can be a
tendency to people can cross why

899
00:50:22,500 --> 00:50:23,900
they're not talking to each 
other. 

900
00:50:23,900 --> 00:50:26,200
So, it is important to have 
communication. 

901
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,800
I think a challenge is the the 
diocese in groups around the 

902
00:50:29,900 --> 00:50:34,600
country can have their their 
plan and it's a fantastic and 

903
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,800
they've got big events on and 
then you've got a lot of the 

904
00:50:36,808 --> 00:50:38,400
private groups doing their 
thing. 

905
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,600
And if, if there were to at 
least share the plans ahead of 

906
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,000
time, you could probably 
strategize on timing of certain 

907
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,200
events. 
Hence, especially when you're 

908
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:52,300
looking at localized things, 
sometimes we can be a little bit

909
00:50:52,300 --> 00:50:54,500
territorial when it comes to our
region. 

910
00:50:54,500 --> 00:50:55,900
And that's just the way the 
church is set up. 

911
00:50:55,900 --> 00:50:59,200
You've got the Archdiocese of 
Sydney then the Archdiocese of 

912
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,100
Melbourne and so you have an 
actual boundary that you're in 

913
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:05,900
charge of and so that really 
creates some sort of territory 

914
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,000
where that you're Crossing now 
into our territory and we're 

915
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,700
going in so it can be hard to 
promote things across territory.

916
00:51:14,700 --> 00:51:17,100
See if that makes sense. 
Because of the structure of the 

917
00:51:17,107 --> 00:51:19,600
church, but that is getting 
better. 

918
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:21,400
Thanks to the internet. 
And so thanks to the internet, 

919
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,500
more and more. 
People are spirits sharing these

920
00:51:23,500 --> 00:51:26,400
things. 
Yeah, I'm seeing it less and 

921
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,700
less of a problem and more and 
more of a solution, the 

922
00:51:28,700 --> 00:51:32,000
internet's actually become a, 
great outlet for everyone. 

923
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,700
Awesome, and is any particular 
things you guys are working on. 

924
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:39,900
In the New Year, anything new 
you want to launch or any 

925
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:42,300
specific priorities. 
You have for next year. 

926
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,500
Yeah, thank you. 
I mean, we're still going to be 

927
00:51:44,500 --> 00:51:46,200
expanding the academy so we're 
rolling. 

928
00:51:46,300 --> 00:51:50,300
Going out another five or six 
courses in 2023, but we really 

929
00:51:50,300 --> 00:51:52,100
want to give it a facelift to 
our podcast. 

930
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:55,100
We want to make sure it's yeah. 
We're going to try. 

931
00:51:55,300 --> 00:51:57,400
Yeah. 
Fix up the studio a bit and have

932
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,400
a have a bit of a facelift there
to look out for that. 

933
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:04,200
We also are going to ramp up a 
lot of the publishing books are 

934
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,900
more titles going to be 
published next year and more 

935
00:52:06,900 --> 00:52:09,900
speaking tours. 
So lots of speakers coming out 

936
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:12,500
next year. 
So father, Chris, a liar and 

937
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,400
Deccan Herald. 
Sonja Corbitt Carla, Broussard. 

938
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,600
We've got Joe, El Marron. 
A former Hollywood actress is 

939
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,400
found her faith and doing 
amazing things. 

940
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,800
Yeah, so many so many great 
initiatives that are coming out 

941
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,200
and it's great speaker. 
So wrapping up everything, 

942
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,300
basically the quite excited 
about that. 

943
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,000
How many how many in your team 
or? 

944
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,700
How many work for parousia. 
Yeah, we actually a small team. 

945
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:40,100
People think we're a lot bigger 
than we are, but we're we've got

946
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:44,800
a team of seven so if you and 
then there's a few volunteers. 

947
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:49,700
So If you conclude the 
volunteers or others as ten of 

948
00:52:49,700 --> 00:52:53,900
us. 
But but but seven that I guess, 

949
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,800
you know, on payroll data for 
full-time and a couple part-time

950
00:52:59,500 --> 00:53:02,800
but I have to announce one big 
thing for the American audience 

951
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:07,600
is we will be launching our 
first USA tour. 

952
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,600
So we're going to be sending 
some Australian speakers to the 

953
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,600
states and that's in the second 
half of September. 

954
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,100
So I dr. 
Robert Haddad myself. 

955
00:53:16,700 --> 00:53:19,800
And possibly Kevin Bailey, we're
trying to finalize the lineup 

956
00:53:19,900 --> 00:53:22,500
with Deccan Herald. 
Who's in America, we're going to

957
00:53:22,508 --> 00:53:27,000
be touring, the country will do 
probably the west coast up till 

958
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:32,100
Dallas, sort of that side from 
Dallas to the West Coast 2023. 

959
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,900
And then in 2024, we hope to 
then do the rest, go to the east

960
00:53:35,900 --> 00:53:39,100
coast, they include Chicago 
Steubenville, you know, around 

961
00:53:39,100 --> 00:53:42,300
New York Philadelphia area and 
then down into Florida. 

962
00:53:42,300 --> 00:53:45,100
And so we're going to be 
covering quite a lot of ground. 

963
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,500
So this This is 23 and 24. 
We got to that sounds fantastic.

964
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,100
So us listeners. 
Be on the lookout for that one. 

965
00:53:54,100 --> 00:53:56,600
So I guess I will start to wrap 
things up. 

966
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:02,000
Now what would be if you could 
give any advice to Australian 

967
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,200
Catholics in particular about, 
you know what, they should get 

968
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,200
involved in or the kind of 
things, they should be watching 

969
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,700
or listening to like, what 
advice would you give to our 

970
00:54:10,700 --> 00:54:12,800
Australian listeners? 
Yeah. 

971
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,600
Awesome. 
I can't tell you how many times 

972
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,300
I've been. 
Old Perugia needs to do this or 

973
00:54:19,300 --> 00:54:23,600
that or the other thing over and
over again. 

974
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:28,600
And so people have a lot of 
passion about certain areas that

975
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,700
they believe need to be 
addressed in the world. 

976
00:54:31,900 --> 00:54:35,700
And and if you have that desire,
I would encourage you to say, 

977
00:54:35,700 --> 00:54:41,200
okay, that's God, speaking to 
you directly and saying, maybe 

978
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,000
if someone else won't do it, you
should do it. 

979
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:48,000
And so, I encourage people in 
Australia, That may be one thing

980
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,500
we battle that, the port is a 
tall, poppy syndrome, you know, 

981
00:54:51,500 --> 00:54:54,400
where we, someone pops up and we
sort of a very quick to knock 

982
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,500
them down, settle down. 
Don't, we don't really encourage

983
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:04,000
enough for people to try Thrive 
and flourish and I think if we 

984
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:06,100
did a more of that, and so if 
you are listening to this, 

985
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:08,100
you're in Australia, be 
encouraged. 

986
00:55:08,100 --> 00:55:12,600
You are being given a mandate by
Jesus Christ, himself to go and 

987
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,200
evangelize the world. 
So we all encouraged to do that.

988
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,300
We do it in Whatever weight is 
possible. 

989
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:22,100
And so the way you know what 
your call to is by address 

990
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,100
looking at the talents, God has 
given you and the desires that 

991
00:55:25,100 --> 00:55:27,600
God has put in your heart. 
And if you can unite your 

992
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,900
passion, your desires, with your
talents, you've got a call him. 

993
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,600
So that's a calling. 
And so, if it's in the media 

994
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,800
world, and then go for it, if 
it's in, if it's in working 

995
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,200
evangelization, if it's in 
teaching, if it's in medical, if

996
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,500
it's in political, whatever 
realm it is, you can actually 

997
00:55:44,500 --> 00:55:49,600
have a huge impact and so So I 
encourage you to First sort of 

998
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,900
pray about and discern. 
What gifts God has given you. 

999
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,800
What desires you have and then 
see where you are in the state 

1000
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:01,300
of life and see, maybe are you 
called to step into the arena in

1001
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:03,400
that space of need? 
And is there a need? 

1002
00:56:04,700 --> 00:56:07,400
And if there are other people 
who are doing good things, so we

1003
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,300
don't have to necessarily 
reinvent the wheel. 

1004
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,100
If there are other people doing 
great things, why not encourage 

1005
00:56:12,100 --> 00:56:14,500
those? 
And so if there is a an area of 

1006
00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:18,500
need, maybe your call to Fulfill
that area of need and that way 

1007
00:56:18,500 --> 00:56:21,200
we can grow as a church and and 
work together as the body of 

1008
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,600
Christ, I hope that gives 
people, you know, a starting 

1009
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,300
Block in and and pray for us at 
Peruvian and I'm happy to 

1010
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:33,100
definitely help out in any way I
can, I love, I love seeing new 

1011
00:56:33,100 --> 00:56:38,300
initiatives being born and 
people who have energy to tap 

1012
00:56:38,300 --> 00:56:41,600
into that and utilize that 
energy is nothing worse than 

1013
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,300
snuffing out. 
Someone's energy. 

1014
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:46,000
You know, you've got to really 
encourage and let them through. 

1015
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:47,800
Drive. 
And if they're bringing the 

1016
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,200
gospel to the world, in a 
positive way, bring it on. 

1017
00:56:50,500 --> 00:56:53,900
More, the merrier, the laborers 
are few, that the parvis is 

1018
00:56:53,900 --> 00:56:56,300
plentiful, but the laborers are 
few as Jesus said. 

1019
00:56:56,500 --> 00:56:59,900
And and boy, oh boy, the world 
is in desperate, need of more 

1020
00:56:59,900 --> 00:57:01,800
laborers. 
So it's a call out for 

1021
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,200
everybody. 
It's a fantastic advice. 

1022
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,200
Yeah, particularly about how you
find, what? 

1023
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:08,200
God might be calling you to 
excellent. 

1024
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,300
Thank you so much. 
Now, if people want to get in 

1025
00:57:11,300 --> 00:57:13,900
touch with you or the team, or 
even have a guest speaker, 

1026
00:57:13,900 --> 00:57:15,900
what's the best way for people 
to get onto parousia? 

1027
00:57:15,900 --> 00:57:18,600
That Our main website are 
parousia. 

1028
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:25,300
Media.com, I'll spell it out. 
It's PA Rous IA, media.com, and 

1029
00:57:25,500 --> 00:57:28,100
it's a Greek word. 
That means not only the second 

1030
00:57:28,100 --> 00:57:30,500
coming of Christ, but the 
presence of Christ as well. 

1031
00:57:30,500 --> 00:57:33,400
So it's a Greek word and the 
puddle CR is how you say it in 

1032
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,500
Greek, the presence of Christ, 
which will be fulfilled in the 

1033
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:39,900
second coming and is already 
fulfilled in the Eucharist right

1034
00:57:39,900 --> 00:57:42,800
now. 
That's, it's a word that we sort

1035
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,500
of, maybe gloss over and maybe 
you've heard in, but it's a 

1036
00:57:45,500 --> 00:57:47,900
powerful way. 
Word and I hope people remember 

1037
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:52,200
that the purusa and parousia 
media.com is our main website. 

1038
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:53,300
We have a YouTube channel as 
well. 

1039
00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:56,200
If lots of free content there, 
people want to subscribe to that

1040
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,800
as well. 
And would you guys accept 

1041
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,700
donations? 
Are you are not-for-profit, what

1042
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,300
if people want to financially 
support you? 

1043
00:58:03,300 --> 00:58:05,200
What's the best layer? 
Thank you. 

1044
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,500
We are always in need of. 
We do have a donate button on 

1045
00:58:08,500 --> 00:58:10,200
our website. 
So if you go and I made website 

1046
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,400
for, is your media.com and then 
you'll see a donate button at 

1047
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:14,200
the top. 
Right? 

1048
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:19,100
Yeah, you can opt to do a Off 
donation or a monthly and that 

1049
00:58:19,100 --> 00:58:21,300
would be wonderful. 
We have monthly donors that 

1050
00:58:21,300 --> 00:58:25,100
support us and that keeps us 
going month-to-month. 

1051
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:26,700
So anyone who's in a position to
support? 

1052
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:29,000
That would be wonderful. 
Excellent. 

1053
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,700
Thank you, shovel. 
All right. 

1054
00:58:30,700 --> 00:58:33,700
Well, thank you for listening. 
Everyone to this bonus episode. 

1055
00:58:33,700 --> 00:58:37,100
I hope I've done an okay job 
interviewing charbel here. 

1056
00:58:37,100 --> 00:58:39,400
If you're in Australia, make 
sure you share this around to 

1057
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,200
anyone who's looking for more 
Catholic, Australian resources, 

1058
00:58:43,100 --> 00:58:45,600
get the word out there, as shall
Bell said during the interview. 

1059
00:58:46,100 --> 00:58:50,900
If Australian Catholics can 
support other Australian 

1060
00:58:50,900 --> 00:58:52,800
Catholics and network with each 
other. 

1061
00:58:53,100 --> 00:58:54,700
So much more good work can be 
done. 

1062
00:58:55,500 --> 00:59:00,200
I'll try to include as many of 
the links and Ministries that we

1063
00:59:00,207 --> 00:59:02,400
talked about in this episode 
I'll go through and try and add 

1064
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:06,700
as many websites as I can into 
the episode description here and

1065
00:59:06,700 --> 00:59:08,400
hopefully some of those you'll 
find useful. 

1066
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,000
Thanks Charles Bell and thanks 
everyone for tuning in, thank 

1067
