  • Adopt me please!

    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!

    This podcast has helped me in my spiritual life especially unpacking the Old Testament reading. It helps me go to Mass with the right mindset and a sincere disposition to receive all the graces available to me at Mass. Thank you so much.

  • Game Changer

    From the Rescue Project to this weekly podcast, the changes I’ve noticed in my faith life in the last few months since I discovered it are wild. I look forward to this every week - it’s made such an enormous difference for me during the Mass. I hear everything so much more directly to me from the Lord. I am absolutely loving it.
