Boys' Lunch

It has been an adventure getting this recorded and uploaded, but here it is. We answer questions from people around the school and from our very own homes! Hope you enjoy

We look at the idea of unique ways to become Christ-like in our lives. We quickly look at the willingness to enter the desert with Christ and (briefly, I promise)  Dmitri Karamazov's willingness to unjustly suffer in prison on behalf of all. We see how all of us in small ways can use moments to die to self and make meaning of suffering. I suffer, but at the same time, I exist, and that is good.

Some quick life updates about baptisms and trophies. We take a gander at some poems that have been supplying some good prayer and some themes we have been interested in (the journey of humanity, breakthrough of grace, longing of the heart, etc.). There are also only like two Brothers Karamazov references, so you're welcome.

We catch up on our Christmas break and the beginning of second semester and give a tribute to a man that gave so much to our Church. Hopefully we do his life a little bit of justice and maybe help people understand his contributions.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Here's a 40 minute New Year's present to you all. This was a discussion we had during Finals, hope you enjoy!

Sorry for the delay. We recorded this on December 6th, but I sat on it for awhile. I am ready to release it to the wild. This episode discusses two themes. One is about the relatability of  the messiness in stories, art, etc. The other is about growing up and realizing you still have a lot to work on. Enjoy

We have a special guest for a special topic. We are excited for some of the opportunities that are coming to Central next year and try to give our perspective as teachers. Enjoy!

We catch up and look at the hidden vice behind many of our actions. While we tend to focus on the immediate and external sins and failings, it is often the deeper spiritual sin and attachments that are the root cause. A quick gander at the Litany of Humility can challenge us and call us to more.

This has been one of my favorite discussions and reminds me of some of our conversations in college over a cup of coffee. We take a small section of a book and pull out some cool and deep human emotions and try to articulate the beauty of God's love and humanity's search for him. The loving heart that a sinner can still possess. How love can be unreasonable, but so very necessary. Great stuff. Pick up a copy of The Brothers Karamazov while you're at it.

We catch up and talk about the genius of St. Benedict. How can the principles in his "Rule" guide us in our vocations and the groups we are a part of?
