  • 053 - Your Vocation
    Jun 30 2026

    This episode explores what it means to discover and live out your calling from God. Beginning with Dante's Divine Comedy and its sobering image of the "Lodge of the Indolent," the episode challenges you to consider whether you are taking your faith seriously or simply drifting through life while postponing the deeper questions of purpose, vocation, and obedience to God's will.

    The psychological concept of Selective Attention is introduced to show how we filter out things that are truly not our focus in life. So, if our faith life isn't the focus, then God related moments get filtered out and ignored.

    Finally, it is through focused attention, prayer, spiritual direction, patience, and a willingness to follow God's will rather than our own that leads us to understand our true vocation

  • 052 - Church Feasts
    Jun 23 2026

    This episode is on Feasts of the Church. It explains why Catholics do more than simply remember important holy days: they participate in them as living moments of faith, worship, reflection, and community. There are three levels of feast days—Solemnities (which mark the most important events and mysteries of the faith), Feasts (which honor major saints and significant events in the life of the Church), and Memorials (which help us remember other saints, devotions, and themes from Church history).
