Candid Catholic Convos 11-05-2023 Vocations Awareness Week

Candid Catholic Convos 11.5.23

 

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

Merriam Webster dictionary defines a vocation as “a summons or strong inclination to a particular state or course of action, most notable a divine call to the religious life or the work in which a person is employed, their occupation.” Today marks the beginning of National Vocations Awareness week, and we have the honor and privilege of speaking with Bishop Timothy Senior, twelfth bishop of Harrisburg and former rector of St. Charles Borromeo Seminary to help us fill in the gaps of what it means to be called to a vocation, how the journey can look different for everyone, and how we can support those discerning a call to religious life.

Family Show 11/3/2023 - A Mind Like Solomon’s or a Heart Like God’s?

Did you ever wonder, “If King Solomon was so wise, why did everything in his life, everything in his world, ended up so messed up?”  Did you ever wonder how King Solomon ended up insisting, “Vanity of vanities, vanity of vanities, all is vanity”?  Did you ever wonder if King Solomon had it all to do over, would he have asked God for a heart that loved like God’s instead of wisdom?  If you’re feeling ready to chuck all the vanities for the eternal embrace of love, then circle up with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they ponder the pursuit of the God whose Heart is already irreversibly intertwined with yours.

Candid Catholic Convos 10-29-2023 Hijacked Holy Day

Candid Catholic Convos 10.29.23

 

SHOW DESCRIPTION: 

 

Halloween has long been associated with spirituality, the dead and the occult, and I only recently learned some of my fellow Christian friends don’t participate in Halloween because of this. Christians and non-Christians alike are convinced of Halloween’s pagan origins, and with the abundance of violence, gore, sensuality, occultism, and demonic aspects now associated with Halloween, it’s hard not to. But is Halloween a pagan holiday or is it a hijacked holy day? Today we welcome back Father John Szada, our Diocesan exorcist with a PhD in psychology to answer all our spooky questions.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

Infertility affects both men and women, physically and emotionally. The worst part though, was feeling isolated, like we were in a desert alone, searching for an oasis that others had been able to find, but we couldn’t. Today, I’m honored to share the microphone with Ann Koshute, co-founder of Springs in the Desert, to share with us her journey to this much-needed ministry and advice for couples currently in a season of infertility.
