Nick De La Torre interviews rockstar musician and prominent math professor, Deacon Dan Brahier of St. Thomas More University Parish. Deacon Dan shares the moment he realized he was meant to be a deacon, how being a professor at Bowling Green State University impacts his role in the church, and vice versa, and how pastoral leadership has changed him. He discusses his work with students as they embark on their spiritual journeys and how his identity as a deacon has reshaped who he is as a man of God.

In this “Catholic Weird Stuff” segment we learn why Catholics venerate saint relics. What is up with Catholics revering body parts, pieces of clothing, and items touched by saints? Isn’t this a form of idol worship? We take a deep dive into Scripture to evaluate the origins of saint relics and the miracles associated with them.
