Catholic& Podcast

In this episode, JB and Matt spend some time just chatting about normal topics such as ranking Catholic Churches (basically a hot or not list; rip the American church), seeing which celebrities are Catholic and the never-ending cycle of generational struggles in the Church. They also talk about some highlights of Lent and Easter. If you like this type of episode let us know! If you didn’t, sry not sry.

This is your good ole fashion throwback COVID 2021 interview with the one and only Cowboy Bosco. The homie speaks for himself but we hit on some great topics like what is good music and the answer isn't screamo. The low down of this: do what you love because haters are gonna hate.

"You were created to be a Saint. You are made for that. Figure it out." This was Brian's call to mission for all of us listening to this episode.

Today we chat with Brian (Ginger Prime) about content creation from a Catholic perspective. We jump through topics such as video games and the saints to practical steps to starting a stream. In it, we ask what it means to create content while answering questions of where and how does the Catholic perspective fit into video game culture and the overall gaming industry and community.

In this month's episode of the Catholic& Podcast, Matt and JB chat with our good friend, Julia from the Seven Miles Chat podcast, where she is also a Catholic School teacher. In this episode, we get to hear parts of Julia's story and her insights into pop culture, Catholic schools, and the intersection between the identity of being in this world but not of it. Even more so, in this episode, we look at how the pandemic has affected the "human" formation of students and how echo chambers hurt cultural catholicity and humanity's friendship with one another.

In this episode, our friend Craig, a first-year seminarian, talks to us about his story. In it, we chat about pieces of his vocation and steps he has taken to discern - whatever that may be. In past lives, he has been a meteorologist and an organist. So you can bet that he knows how to follow the next right thing. 

Three touchstones of note are:

1) for discernment to be good, it has to take time 

2) God has a plan for you, and that's where you'll find joy and 

3) You won't do what you're doing now forever.

Pray about it, live in the moment and don't stress too hard. As an offered suggestion, check out Pray, Decide, and Don't Worry. It's a great book to read and be encouraged that you don't need your life together right now.

In today's episode, we talk with Kathryn, Corporate Missionary + Moana enthusiast on navigating the young adult life as a Catholic, especially the corporate waters. Throughout this episode, we dive into various portions of pop culture to see and reveal how the Gospel can be found (specifically Disney movies!), what it looks like to be a young Catholic professional, and tips on what to do (or not to do) for evangelization in the workplace.

Work to Live or Live to Work? Million Dollar Question, huh.

The hustle and grind culture is real, regardless of the season of life or what you do, but is it healthy? Matt, JB, and a special guest explore this topic deeper along with the dignity of work, work and pro-life, and modern-day working culture.

Send us a DM if you have any good remedies to working in the modern world that we can share - all responses are welcome!

In today's episode, we talked with our guest, Francis from Hallow, about his story along with a new app that desires to blend technology and your prayer life. We talk about the beauty of technology in the space of religion and how it can be used to deepen your relationship with Christ.

We are back at it with another week of our after-hours conversation where Matt & JB chat about a theme based on the twelve tribes of Israel - this week Simeon.

"Man is by nature and vocation a religious being. Coming from God, going toward God, man lives a fully human life only if he freely lives by his bond with God." (CCC 44)

When we talk about freedom and love, we don't really ever talk about obedience, and honestly, we speak of it being quite the opposite. Why would we want to be obedient or a servant to another? But in true relationship and love, each party offers themselves to each other in obedience. 

Some Bible verses to pray about and ponder on:

- “If you love me, you will keep my commandments" (John 14:15)

- Semon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)

Hey friends, we are back at it with another week of our after-hours conversation where Matt & JB chat about a theme based on the twelve tribes of Israel - this week Naphtali. 

In this episode, we talk about our struggles with being a Catholic Christian in the world we live in, but on a lighter note, we talk about one of our favorite wrestlers... Nacho Libre. Lastly, if you make it this far, we also give the hot take about standing in line for Confession IS a Penance.

Hope you enjoy, and as always ~good vibes only~
