Welcome to episode 2! Luke continues his discussion of the Lenten season with a brief update on some life and death matters, then shares the Catholic perspective on some good books: Brave New World by Alduous Huxley and The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis. He shares some aphorisms that he hopes will resonate with you and challenges you to find some time to spend in silence with God this week. Have some good suffering this Lent! ;)

What is happening? Is today still special? Of course, today is always a blessing, but those blessings aren't always what we expect. Listen in to the very first episode of A Young Catholic Man's Podcast with Luke Adamkiewicz. Luke answers some burning questions about the future of the podcast and invites you all to join on his walk with Christ.

Today Luke opens up with some practical discussion of the podcast, then discusses today's Gospel reading, tying it to some modern culture and talking about Lent, and closes with a brief prayer. All are welcome!

Originally recorded in March of 2021, this episode is less inspiring than the Today's Special crew tries to be but more of a geek-out session for Luke and Cathy to talk about some of their favorite bands and musical artists. You might find some new songs to give a listen to! Part 2 will be a little more inspiring.

Luke and Cathy make their epic return to the podcast with a very special question. They ponder why we find ourselves attempting to summit great physical and mental feats. Listen in as they discuss the obstacles that we face on the paths we don't always choose, we may just land in.

In the first episode in the mini series "Quick Hitters" on Today's Special, Luke and Cathy bounce some questions off each other in order to get to know one another better. These questions are great for families, couples, and friends!

Who knows what to expect out of this episode? The Today's Special dynamic duo discuss expectations we have of ourselves and of others. They also tackle what we can do when these aren't met and how we can learn to shape our expectations so that we can always handle the outcome.

With the help of a very special guest, Luke and Cathy tackle one of their more difficult topics: suffering. Listen as they discuss this universal human experience and as they ask what suffering is, why we go through it, and how it can be acknowledged, confronted, and even embraced.

We've said it ourselves, a change of scenery can do so much for the soul. Recording live from Cathy's "Art Studio," the Today's Special duo discuss their favorite artists, styles, paints, colors, and all else in the realm of creation through art. All while painting!

Notes: We mention our new email address: [email protected]. Feel free to let us know how we're doing, how you're doing, or anything else you wanna tell us! We also mention artist Brian Rutenberg and his appearance on the podcast Art Juice.  Thirdly, we include a link for the Van Gogh experience coming to Detroit this year: https://vangoghdetroit.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4PP1q6a28AIVAf7jBx1puwAcEAAYASAAEgJhifD_BwE

Just do it! Go and take care of that thing that's been on your plate! In the first episode after their sabbatical, Cathy calls Luke out as a procrastinator, yet realizes they're both cut from the same time management cloth. Listen in as they discuss getting things done and the sigh of relief you'll feel when you do exactly that.

Luke and Cathy invite their very first guest on Today's Special to discuss why things are funny and what those funny things are! Many laughs ensue as they reach new heights of hilarity with a rather tall guest, John Adamkiewicz.
