    I’m trying to turn my otherwise wasted downtime (like driving home from work) into helping me on my spiritual journey. I discovered this podcast and it’s great. My drive is about an hour which gives me time to listen to an entire episode.I’m a cradle catholic who was poorly catechized. But this podcast is giving me so many gems.

The Book of Ruth: A Love Story That Isn’t as Weird as You Think
Q: What are some of the key points that you're making to students when you're teaching this text?

The Cardinal Virtues: How Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance Shape the Christian Life
Q: In light of this teaching from Jesus in Matthew 6 19, how should we plan for things like retirement? Or put differently, should Catholics have a retirement account?
The hosts discuss that while it's important to save for retirement, it should come from a place of prudence rather than fear. They suggest that having a retirement account can be a way to show providence for ourselves and those we love, but the primary concern should be one's heart and motivations regarding material wealth.
Why Stories Matter: Telling the Faith to Kids
Q: What do you hope to achieve with Welcome to Hope Springs?
The goal is to create good stories that resonate with both kids and parents, facilitating conversations about important themes in a way that is engaging and relatable.
