  • Thought-provoking and spiritually enriching podcast

    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.

    Really enjoyed your episode today and would love to hear more on CS Lewis! To Fr. Bonaventure— I’d give the Screwtape Letters another read. I read Story of a Soul many years ago and didn’t think much of it. I read it again a few years ago and it changed my life! Sometimes years can give you a different perspective 😉
