Welcome to a new season of Casting the Net!  We have a very exciting year in store for you!  Below is a description of what's coming in this first series.  Enjoy!

It’s easy to see God in the major milestones of life.  But if we stop there, we may develop a distorted image of God and his relationship to the world, and end up settling for a counterfeit that is far less than what Christ offers us. So this series we’ll start by looking at some key ideas from the Catholic tradition that help us to be certain that God can be encountered in the ordinary.  Then we’ll spend some episodes sharing practical advice from the saints on how to discern and make the most of God’s presence and promptings in our daily lives.

Thanks for listening!
