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.

Episodes span biblical exegesis, liturgical life, Lent and Easter themes, and leadership within parish communities, often mixing personal reflection with actionable takeaways for pastors, staff, and lay listeners seeking a deeper Biblical worldview.
