In this episode we have a great time chatting with Fr. Matt Siegman about his love for Italian food as well as his Squidward-like persona. Finally, he shares how he was called away from a job at Learjet to his life as a priest.

We are joined by Fr. Dwight Birket to discuss his time in seminary and priesthood, including the experience of serving in the missions in Venezuela. It is a blessing to hear him share what helped him persevere faithfully through over 50 years of priesthood when many of his classmates left.

Today we welcome on one of our newly ordained priests, Fr. Jesus Bañuelos. We discuss his theories on where to find the best tacos before he shares about how the Lord used his love of music to take him from guitar player in a Mexican norteño group to his calling as a priest.

Today we begin by sharing our greatest dreams of game show stardom. Then we discuss Pope Francis' recent letter on the role of literature in formation and how reading good books shaped our time in seminary and now our life as priests and evangelists.

We are pumped to welcome Fr. Seth Arnold to the studio to share about his love of running and his excitement to run the Boston Marathon. Then, he explains how a few moments of grace, including a providential encounter with a man in need, gave him the confidence to surrender his life to God as a priest.

After calming rising tensions between Fr. Drew and Fr. Chad, we discuss the start of the school year: our traditions as kids, experiences returning to seminary each fall, and our practices now as we enter a new academic year as priests.

Sitting down once more with Bishop Kemme, we begin by talking about memories of road trips and travel before discussing the power of pilgrimage in aiding our growth in prayer and discernment.

We begin by chatting about different trends amongst priests or seminarians, bringing to the surface Fr. Drew's disdain for basically all animals. Then we discuss the importance of "grit" in prayer, discernment and formation.

We are joined by Fr. Dan Duling to chat about his parish and recent church building project as well as Fr. Drew's hot take about lake trips being too stressful. Then Fr. Dan shares how his vocation grew and flourished, even through a showdown with a nun.
