Nailed it
This once a week podcast is amazing and is changing my life
"The Church is called to speak truth to power."
The Churches lane is everything because Jesus is our King. His love cannot be undone.
This is an excellent podcast. Fr. John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle have insightful, inspiring discussions about the spiritual life.
I’ve yet to listen to an episode just once. Every single one is worth a re-listen, with a pen and notebook in hand. Simple. Practical. And always surprising- no one breaks open and brings to life the Gospel story like Father John and Mary! I wish I could move in with them and listen to their conversations all day, every day!
