Allison Sullivan cohosts and brings way more stories about squirrels than any of us saw coming. She also shares how she got shadow banned on Instagram and Taylor goes into his experience with brain eating amoebas this weekend.

They continue with a conversation about subjective vs. objective holiness, getting graded on holiness(lol) and enjoying a slower pace of life.

P.S. This episode has the best commercials we've ever done thanks to Allison.

Sometimes we think that we are the ones who are seeking Jesus. In reality, however, He's the one who is doing the seeking. Furthermore, He has chosen us to bear good fruit for the Kingdom of God. Join Gary as he unpacks the Mass Readings for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time!

Today Scott Hahn is joined by a very special guest—his wife, Kimberly. The two discuss Kimberly’s new ministry for women and her new podcast, Beloved and Blessed. Kimberly shares her experience and insights into the wisdom of Scripture, especially the wisdom of Proverbs 31.

After all the hullabaloo relating to the 2016 presidential election, it is worth reflecting, on the feast of Christ the King, the fact that we really live in a kingdom; the Kingdom of God.

In his direct and conversational manner, Bishop Strickland touches on a wide range of topics, including Church renewal in a time of scandal, the central importance of the Eucharist, how to build strong marriages, the need for prayer and silence in a noisy and distracted age, and the battle between good and evil in which all Christians are engaged. He will inspire and edify you with his wise insights, pastoral common sense, and evident love for souls.

Questions Covered:

 

21:34 - Can you discuss why priests are moved around all the time? 

33:53 - Thank you for being such a great bishop. I have really benefited from your videos online. 

36:20 - How can I get the Latin Mass in my diocese? Is there any step I can take to bring it here? 

44:10 - How can a person get the most out of the Mass? 

49:14 - What do you think about perpetual fasting schedule within a parish for the problems in our world?

What makes a marriage valid and sacramental? What is the marriage bond? Rose Sweet explains.

Questions Covered:

 

21:10 - Can a marriage still be valid even if it is not sacramental? 

28:58 - Has there been an increase in the dissolution of marriage throughout the country? 5 of my friends have gotten divorced and were granted annulments in the last year. 

32:06 - I’m contemplating filing for an annulment. I have been divorced for 2 years. In my opinion, our marriage was valid, but my husband didn’t think it was. When is it appropriate to file for annulment? 

36:50 - What do you do when you have an argument with your wife, but she misunderstands what you said and is hurt by it? What can you do? 

42:10 - My daughter and her fiancé were both raised Catholic but are not marrying in the Church. Is it still a marriage? 

48:25 - How can I know that I am ready for marriage?

We have to be overcomers, working on our holiness daily.
