This podcast has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. Fr Jim’s guests are not only inspiring but incredibly relatable—their openness about their spiritual journeys is both refreshing and uplifting. Each episode leaves me with a deep sense of connection, as if we’re all walking this beautiful path of faith together, with the Lord right beside us.
Thank you, Fr Jim and Maggi! I’m already looking forward to the next episode.
Jim Martin says the Examen is aka Examination of Conscience. I’ve read other Jesuits say they are different things. Unfortunately I don’t remember the locations of the alternate opinions so I can’t cite. Any clarification? Wouldn’t use the ratings to ask, but can’t find a more appropriate place.

I find myself reflecting for days after listening. I talk to friends about what they thought of the episodes. I’ve talked with my mom and dad, esp... more
