  • Super nerdy and super needed

    I am really enjoying the conversation between these priests. I’m from the suburbs and can relate to their banter. I reverted to the faith and feel like an outcast sometimes.

  • Thank YOU!

    Your “Sports Monopoly” episode is SO needed right now. Spoke to my heart (was feeling guilty for not signing my 2nd grader up for flag football) and I’m hoping it speaks to the hearts of our Religious Ed families that I intend to share it with. ❤️

    I would give 5 stars except for the fact that I have had a recent increase in the number of nerf darts I have to pick up in the St Edmond parking lot since this podcast has started.
