Creation, Fall, Incarnation, Salvation. 

The gospel, if anything, is a response to the brokenness we all experience (and participate in...). 

Here's a way to talk about it!

Evangelization has become something of a buzz-word in Catholic circles today. Worse than that, sometimes it takes on an inhuman and mechanistic tone that couldn't be further from the truth. So Joseph unpacks what he means by evangelization, and what he suspects the Church also means...

Here's the cycle in picture form!

"Lord, don't trust Philip today." 

Simple, profound, hilarious, and supremely useful, this prayer has long been a favorite of Joseph's, and in this episode, he shares why.

This past Sunday's gospel reading was about the rich young man, and one thing that may not have been immediately evident is how tied it is to the notion of marriage. Listen in to find out more!

Happy 200th episode, everybody!!

Christ instituted seven sacraments. Three of them are sacraments of initiation, two of them are for healing, and two, friends, are ordered toward the salvation of other people. Those two sacraments are holy orders (deacons, priests, and bishops) and matrimony. Hear how we unpack how matrimony is meant to be an apostolic institution, truly missionary in its beauty!

Just a little about us-- we're here to help husbands and wives to become more competent and confident at running beautiful evangelical homes. Our podcasts, retreats, workshops, guides, blogs, books (forthcoming!), and more are all for that purpose!

For those near Jackson, MI, here are some events we have planned for the near future: https://ouroutpost.org/events/

Have you ever been to a talk on evangelizing and been told that everyone has a testimony to share? 

It's partially true. But where it's partially false, it can be extremely damaging to people.

Because not everyone has a testimony to share right now, but everyone is in the midst of the greatest love story ever told.

One thing missionaries need to be able to do is to start friendly conversations. Joseph may not be the most charming and extroverted fellow, but he spent years thinking and trying out different ways to start conversations with strangers-- here are some thoughts on the process!

One of Joseph's favorite questions to ask people is "What have you been reading recently?" It's both prompted great conversation, as well as produced a number of awkward moments. 

Matthew Kelly has said, "We become the books we read"-- so if we're interested in who people are and who they're becoming, what they're reading is incredibly important!

We're in a pretty failure-averse world. There's not much mercy and not much margin for error in a world where our mistakes can be plastered across screens throughout the world. 

So how do we wrap our heads around failure, and what kinds of failure are out there? Turns out, there's at least three kinds of failures-- one for when we're learning and growing, one for when we unintentionally wander, and one for when we intentionally do the wrong thing. 

I think it's pretty helpful to have categories for failure, and over it all, a merciful and patient heart. Just my two cents...

Nathaniel Hawthorne has a lovely version of the story of King Midas, called "The Golden Touch," and Joseph read it aloud to his kids recently. While it's ostensibly about greed, it's also about exchanging real life for sterile, un-smellable, un-tasteable, un-nourishing shiny facsimiles. In other, unrelated news, how's your smartphone looking these days?

Here's Hawthorne's story: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/35377/35377-h/35377-h.htm#THE_GOLDEN_TOUCH but it's public domain, so you can find it many places...
