  • Great content, well-delivered!

    This podcast provides a connection of sorts for me to my daughter who is studying at AMU over 1000 miles from home. I get to learn, too! And I don’t have to worry about being led astray or fed things that do not propel me towards heaven with Dr. Dauphinais. Topics are interesting, guests are notable, level of conversation is right at eye level. It has given me a great list of titles to add to my spiritual reading. I look forward to Tuesday and the new episode drop each week!

  • Wonderful podcast!

    The conversations Dr. Dauphinais has with his guests are very informative, interesting, and thought provoking! The topics discussed I find are culturally relevant, and the discussions are a great source for Christian apologetics!

  • Theology is amazing!

    I was looking for a good introduction into deeper Catholic Theology while discerning a masters degree. I was thrilled to come across this podcast - I love the format of the show, and the dedication to learning more about scripture, sacred tradition, history and many other topics. Every Catholic (and those non-Catholics who want to understand Catholicism) should listen! Thank you for sharing Christ and theology through this show.

How to Find God in the Workplace w/Dr. Jeff Schiefelbein | Ep.183
Q: Can you share concrete examples and actionable strategies listeners can implement in their workplaces?

How to Find God in the Workplace w/Dr. Jeff Schiefelbein | Ep.183
Q: What are some common pitfalls you see in workplaces and how can leaders address them?
Key pitfalls include fear-driven leadership that retracts and centralizes power, lack of subsidiarity and ownership at lower levels, and failing to have explicit policies for sensitive issues like miscarriage; remedies involve granting more freedom and responsibility, practicing clear, non-emotional communication, and creating explicit policies that honor people in hardship.
How to Find God in the Workplace w/Dr. Jeff Schiefelbein | Ep.183
Q: Tell us a little bit about what your work with Undivided Life entails.

Is Belief Believable? w/Dr. Christopher Kaczor | Ep. 181
Q: How does Aquinas address the objections of science and evil in proving God's existence?
Aquinas presents arguments like the cosmological order (per se and per accidens causality) and the dependence of scientific truths on mathematics, which together undermine scientism and point toward a necessary first cause who actively sustains existence while offering a coherent account of how evil and suffering can fit within a divinely ordered plan.
