Fam and Fed

Allelu-NAH! Lent is upon us, Fam. And as we journey together through the desert in this sacrificial season, we're joined by our dear friend Venus Decoy of the Nerdy Epistles Podcast. We talk about why providing food is an important ministry in our church, share experiences serving those living in poverty, and reflect on how fasting can help us connect to the Lord but also to those suffering from hunger.

This is Famished and... fasting.

What is up Fam! Do you know the three virtues of a Christian furniture store? Faith, Hope and Chair-ity! Okay friends, pull up a seat, great to see you! Today we celebrate a piece of furniture, but a very special one. Today we celebrate St. Peter's chair, the pope's chair! And so, on this holiday, we're throwing a Papal party with pierogis, pretzels, and our good friend, Eddie. We chair pope stories and chair Vatican recipes, and sit down to taste some papal confections. You can't stand the puns? Chair up, this is Famished and Fed.

We're back! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I have 2 hands a left and a right, hold them up high so clean and bright... that is right, fam, this week we are talking about that great gift from God: our hands. In this latest episode during Filipino Food month, we talk with Fr. Raj's cousins, food enthusiast Mikey Carrillo and superstar chef John Rivera, about "Kamayan", or eating with your hands. So join the lovely Cece and this trio of hands-ome cousins to explore the beauty of eating without utensils. We give this episode the highest of fives.

Happy St. Patrick's day, Fam!

Today, we welcome Fr. Michael, former leader of the Seminary Irish band, to the podcast to talk about Irish Music, Irish food, and how that all connects to faith. He even shares with us one of his favorite Irish songs and snacks on some Irish Potatoes. Enjoy.

Cheerio, dear Lords and Ladies, Special K's and Cap'n Crunches. This isn't some Trix, we are finally doing our long awaited cereal episode. In honor of National Cereal Day, we are joined by our friends from the Average Nerd Podcast, Juan and Jorge, to talk about beloved breakfast in a bowl.

We did it, Fam. We are celebrating the big 2-0. 20 episodes. But since it's the middle of Lent, we decided to celebrate with a Mortification Party. Join the Fam and Fed Crew as well as other special guests as they "die to self" by eating things they dislike on a special Livestreamed episode.
