  • Fun and educational all at the same time.

    The ONLY bad thing about this podcast is that it’s not everyday!! 😅😂 Of course, I understand that he’s a very busy priest! Fr. Josh is so real and I love love love listening to his wisdom and advise. Not to mention his random singing 😂. Matches my ADHD! He makes learning our faith so much more entertaining for our youth! Thank you Fr. Josh for all you do!
