Have you ever observed a situation absolutely convinced you knew exactly what was going on? And then you find out later that what you thought happened wasn’t at all what actually happened? Marge shares a personal (and embarrassing) time when this happened to her and then shows how easily this can happen to anyone and how it applies to life in general.

Rachel Bulman is a wife, mother, writer, and speaker. She frequently contributes to the Word on Fire blog and CatholicMom.com. Her first book will be published with Our Sunday Visitor next fall, and she has contributed to two books with Ave Maria Press and Ignatius Press which will be available this year. Her husband is in formation for the permanent diaconate and they have four children, one in heaven, and a set of twins due this summer.

It seems most likely that Rachel’s quote comes from St. Ambrose of Milan:

“Know, then, oh beautiful soul, that you are the image of God.”

When we accept that our souls are beautiful—that we are the image of God—then beautiful and life-giving gifts unfold. Listen in for more.

Sam Rocha Ph.D. joins me on today's program to discuss if a good Catholic can also be a socialist. Sam says that it is possible It was an informing conversation for me and Sam discusses some papal documents and the work of saints. He was part of a debate with Trent Horn one year ago (https://youtu.be/IOngbgfViPo) in which this was also discussed.

This is not a rehash of the debate. He defines what Socialism is from a democratic perspective. I really enjoyed our conversation. Sam is also coming out with a podcast soon that is called Folk Phenomenology. Learn more about Sam at www.samrocha.com
