Thank you. Dear Carson,

It’s me Amy, again. I am thoroughly enjoying the podcast and book together.

Are you planning another course this year? I just don’t know what I’ll do with myself after I’m finished with this. You’re truly gifted!

Thank you.

Any other personal stuff that I am willing to reveal can probably be found at my blog. :) Hubby started this course at a local parish, and then someone pointed out the podcast a couple of weeks into his course. (They started in January.) I can't take the class with him because someone has to put Big Girl and Little Girl into bed and stay with them - the authorities are so picky about leaving your 8 and 5 year olds at home alone! ;) I am so grateful for this podcast. Every week, I listen to the chapter Hubby is doing, and I write all over the margins of my Bible. I am constantly having to remind myself not to yell, "OH, WOW!" while I sit in the library while the kids are at story time. :) I’m Christine, and I live in Virginia.

After college I moved to the Minneapolis area, where for the first time in my life I heard a priest talking about something called "transubstantiation." That little wafer is Jesus?! After doing some additional research, I confirmed that we Catholics really do believe that, and many other things -- such as the belief that Jesus founded the Catholic Church.

My name is Carson Weber, and I host the Understanding the Scriptures podcast... When we did the podcast, my beautiful wife (Rebecca) and I resided in Brenham, Texas where I did adult faith formation on the parish level at St. Mary Catholic Church (~1,000 families). Brenham is about an hour west of Houston, Texas and an hour and a half east of Austin, Texas. It's the home of the Blue Bell ice cream factory and a great place to visit if you like wildflowers in the Spring. In September of '07, we moved to Sacramento, California where I currently serve Bishop William Weigand as the Director of Evangelization for the Diocese of Sacramento. Part of the reason for our move was the announcement of Rebecca's pregnancy with our first child, Thérèse Mary Grace. The parish salary wouldn't support Rebecca as a stay-at-home mother, and her family lives in Sacramento as well as San Francisco. So, God opened wide the doors for us to make the move.
