  • Appreciate

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

St. Joseph: The Quiet Strength Every Christian Needs
Q: Why do only Catholics believe in purgatory?
Catholics believe in purgatory as a distinct stage of purification after death, necessary for making souls holy and fully ready for heaven; this view is grounded in Scripture and tradition, and presented as a nuanced and hopeful element of salvation that complements the church's teaching on sanctification.
Mid-Lent Check-In: When Your Lenten Plan Falls Apart
Q: Are the three pillars of Lent all the same weight, and how to streamline if overcommitted?
Prayer is the primary pillar; the other two (fasting and almsgiving) are secondary. To streamline, prioritize prayer, consider scaling back other commitments, and be willing to reassess and begin again if overwhelmed.
Mid-Lent Check-In: When Your Lenten Plan Falls Apart
Q: What are practical formats for a small Catholic men's group?
Suggestions include keeping it simple with open-ended questions, a central activity to gather around, and flexibility in format; reading together or doing a shared activity (like a holy hour or attending a game) can work well depending on the group.
Mid-Lent Check-In: When Your Lenten Plan Falls Apart
Q: Are almsgiving and tithing the same thing?
Almsgiving is the broader practice of giving to others; tithing is a specific form of almsgiving usually tied to a parish. Lent should heighten generosity without breaking the bank, and can include non-financial forms like giving time or space.
The Books That Changed Our Catholic Lives
Q: How can we minimize our time in purgatory?
By acquiring plenary indulgences and applying them to ourselves or to others, as well as committing to daily prayer for the souls in purgatory.
