Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about things your grandma lied to you about. Old wives tales: we’ve all heard them before; and they’re easy to believe. Whether they were passed down by grandma (who I’m sure WASN’T lying to you intentionally), based on bad science, or even spread as a rumor by British military intelligence, these fictional tales have been adopted as facts. And today, we’re gonna fact-check them!Learn More:Visit our Podcast website HBNApodcast.com to learn more and subscribe.

We are in the first week of Lent.  What is going to be a major focus of this podcast during Lent?  St. Teresa of Avila and her book The Interior Castle.  For the episode today we are touching on the way she tells us to understand the purpose and need of the first dwelling place.

Jesus taught His disciples to pray that the Father 'lead us not into temptation'. What does He mean? Let's go beneath the surface.
