A Young Catholic Man's Podcast

Luke and Joe return with a great banterous discussion on Abandonment to Divine Providence, both the book and the concept. How is God's Will working in your life? And how are you called to abandon your will to His?

Books we mentioned:
Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre de Caussade
Into Your Hands, Father by Wilfred Stinissen

Luke welcomes DCCM chaplain Fr. Matthew Hood to answer some listener questions. Today we discuss the difference between mortal and venial sin, if many will be saved, if digital piracy is a sin, and several other questions!

Luke is back with another solo episode, don't worry Joe is ok! In this brief look at living life in the "dust of the Rabbi," Luke gives us some insight into the call of St. Peter, our example of constant redemption before Christ. We are called to imitate Christ's life and love, and live in such close proximity to Him that the dirt he kicks up as he walks clings to our legs.

Utilizing some FOCUS tools, Joe and Luke delve into a discussion on the Gospel. While we often think of the Bible as that good ole book that we should probably dust off and read every once in a while, on this week's episode we learn that it is more-so a life guide for how to live as true disciples of Christ who are called to spread that "good news" to everyone around us!

P.S. Apologies for the sirens, let's pray for whomever those emergency vehicles were going to!

Luke is back! And this time with a new friend! Joe McCoy joins YCMP as the new co-host and, like Luke, is eager to hop on the podcast and share the Good News of Christ. Today we introduce Joe as well as discuss what "mission" is and what that means for us as Catholics.

This time on YCMP, Luke has done some research on what makes a friend and discusses Aristotle's 3 types of friendship. He also asks that we analyze what kind of friend we've been to those close to us in our lives and how we can achieve true, loyal, virtuous friendships. How can we better reflect the greatest friend of all: Jesus?

He is Risen, Alleluia! It is the Easter season, and we are Easter people called to celebrate Christ's Resurrection and defeat of sin and death. This week on YCMP, Luke discusses our call to service. God gave us His Son as an example of eternal unconditional love and service, so we are called to reflect His actions in our day to day lives, assisting those who need it most even in the most simple of ways, the most random acts of kindness, and giving our all in whatever vocation God is calling us to.

In Luke's first episode focusing on Mary, he starts by apologizing for missing a week's episode, but promises to do better.  Luke also begins with a brief commercial for the Patreon page, go check it out! He reaffirms our Lenten goal to reconcile with God and that we have an amazing Blessed Mother that will intercede for all our needs. This weeks challenge is to pray at least one Rosary, which, as Blessed Carlo Acutis says, is the "shortest ladder to heaven." We have to go through her to get to Him. Have a blessed Holy Week!

It is an episode of favorites today! In this episode of YCMP, Luke shares his favorite Bible quote, favorite poem and one of his favorite parables as he discusses what God has in store for us. During this rocky path of Lent, we are called to reconcile with the Father and run back to His wide-open arms to receive the reckless love and graces of a good confession.

Luke tackles one of the Sacraments this week on the podcast, talking a little bit about the Eucharist: the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity contained under the species of bread and wine. It's one of the most well-known aspects of Catholicism, but I bet you'll learn something new when you listen in as Luke discusses the source and summit of our faith that we receive every week.
