On a very special What We’re Dealing With… Greg, Jennifer, Mac and Katherine set up in the new office/studio for a last show before self-imposed quarantine gets started. We talk Coronavirus thoughts, preparedness responsibilities, how we wish things were, and how they actually are. We rant a bit about the response of our Pope and Bishops and share how we’re going to get through the next few weeks without access to the Mass. We’d love to hear your thoughts!  

We take a break from the cloffice and set up in the living room for a (somewhat) deep dive into the actual definition of fasting and a conversation about whether giving up other things (like television or video games) constitutes actual fasting. We discuss how fasting keeps us spiritually awake, counteracting autopilot behavior, and how fasting constitutes one of the two wings of prayer that makes our prayers (and penance) even more efficacious.

The world’s view that happiness can only be possible under better circumstances versus how God’s wisdom provides a much better perspective than our own.

Greg is prepping a series of three different talks for an upcoming parish mission and solicits help from Mac, Katherine and Jennifer on the most important things to talk about when discussing Mary, Confession, and the Eucharist.

The value of true friendship, difficulties in cultivating and maintaining friendships, and how to find true friends to accompany through the life's seasons.

Continuing our conversation about confusion in the Church and how we can help improve negative situations through our prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

The response of Catholics to vague statements, quotes, and news stories coming from the Vatican and various chanceries when our shepherds refuse to clarify.

We seem to have too much noise entering into our heads. How can we help our children embrace silence if we ourselves struggle with it so much?

Are we being genuine with the message that we preach or are we simply prisoners to our personas? Amy Welborn asks these questions in a recent article.

Working though the complexities of experiencing God through Contemplative Prayer, in this episode we explore paragraphs 2709 through 2719.

We all want deeper relationships with God, and as St. Therese of Lisieux says, “For me, prayer is a surge of the heart; it is a simple look turned toward heaven, it is a cry of recognition and of love, embracing both trial and joy.”But if “Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God,” as St. John Damascene writes, then why is prayer often so difficult?  And why is it such a challenge to establish a regular, ongoing prayer routine?In this...

Archbishop Fulton Sheen announced the end of Christendom in 1974. We take a deeper look at his statements, as well as the antidote he provided.

Scripture, Tradition, and the Early Church Fathers show us the necessity of baptism, and how this impacts the rest of our Christian life.

Preparing our hearts, minds, souls and bodies for Mass and being deliberate about how you approach Mass with your minds and with your clothes!

We begin to unpack the opening paragraphs of Sacrosanctum Concilium, getting somewhat stuck on terminology in the opening paragraph.

The importance of reading original church documents, especially in the light of the changes the church has seen since the Second Vatican Council.

The difficulties of maintaining consistent prayer and overcoming roadblocks to more “advanced” prayer like Mass, the Rosary, and Liturgy of the Hours.

What is the proper way to receive communion at Mass - in the hand or in the tongue? And should you kneel when receiving?

The goal is long form conversations and deeper dives into topics that have been on our minds lately. This inaugural episode revolves around a recent talk and letter given by Robert Cardinal Sarah. This talk has dramatically impacted how we receive the Eucharist at Mass. Note: This was a bonus...
