Short answer- yes! Great episode, voicing exactly what I’ve felt over the years- being witty/humorous with prudence as a guide is a real service to others. Thank you for the work you do- I’ll continue to work on refining my humor, to continue to “deliver” in my everyday life, to help make life a little brighter for others. God bless!
This was the best Godsplaining episode that I have heard. Sometimes priests unintentionally cause pain, and this episode brought me so much peace.
The speed of presentation makes for a challenge for the older audience. I’ve had lots of training in the details you discuss, but your conversation’s structure is beyond me. May I suggest a preview of topics, and reminders dropped in, of the outlined topics?
Good stuff!
A wonderful podcast covering just about anything you could ever want to learn and listen to! So much joy from the Friars, spilling over to us listeners. Many hours of dishes have been done accompanied by Godsplaining!
Mary Queen of Preachers, pray for us!
Heard about this podcast while listening to Fr. Gregory Pine read and analyze St. Augustine’s Confessions on the Catholic Classics podcast. Have listened to a few episodes of Godsplaining thus far and found them to be intellectually and spiritually stimulating as well as interesting and entertaining. Just pre-ordered Fr. Pine’s book, Training the Tongue, which he discusses in the most recent episode.
