Fitness and Nutrition are the tools for the modern ascetic. As humans, made of body and soul, we must take care of our bodies and that can be a means of self discipline. The goal is to become a total self gift to others. Exercise and eating well are means to help us love God more fully and those in our lives more fully. Chase Crouse of Hypuro Fit joins Fr. George to discuss how Catholics should approach fitness and nutrition as tools to grow in holiness.

As a bonus, can a theologian tell when AI generates fake Bible verses? Fr. George presents 10 verses to Chase, 5 are real Bible verses and 5 are AI generated fakes, and Chase needs to tell the difference. Do you think you can tell the difference?

Listen to the previous episode where Dr. John Bergsma discusses the Jubilee. Jubilee is an ancient tradition with roots in the Old Testament beginning with Moses and the Exodus. Dr. John Bergsma and Fr. George Elliot compare the ancient themes and practices to how we can live the Jubilee year well in the Catholic Church today. Pilgrimage is a key aspect of the Jubilee from the beginning where servants, set free from their service, return home to their family. Dr. John Bergsma focuses on these themes of Jubilee years: forgiveness, freedom, family, and fullness. Listen to this episode with Fr. George and Dr. Bergsma to learn more about the roots of the Jubilee Year!
