We've all said the words, "my prayer life isn't great right now." But can we really know the fruit of our prayer while on earth? This week, Ethan and I talk about how we psych ourselves out during prayer.

It's good to talk about things when you're angry, so that's what today's episode is all about. No polished "statements" on the state of the church, just ranting, discussing, and learning. I hope you all discuss these things, too. If you're angry or hurt, talk to someone you trust, keep praying, and don't become discouraged. We're still in His Church.

Ethan's bishop addressed the crisis as well.

I would like to point out that we mention an unsubstantiated news story. Cardinal Wuerl may still be in the US. The only news organizations to release a story about his alleged extradition were extremely biased sources. This is just one more example of why independent research is important.

Finally, we didn't talk about this on the podcast, but we have some cool things happening:

Encounter Houston: The Encounter Conference is Sept. 14-16 in Houston. There's still time to register!

My friends made me think a lot about the gifts of the Holsy Spirit, so I try to process it on the podcast. Ethan talks about what it means to have a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Evangelii Gaudium is a FOCUS Missionary's best friend. Ethan has been praying with it recently, so we decided to talk about a particularly confusing sentence from paragraph 8.
