In this episode, Fr. Steve and Ashley talk about listening to the promptings of the Lord and being docile to those promptings. Sometimes we're quick to judge ourselves or we're afraid to do what the Lord asks because of fear, but it helps to turn towards Him and say, "Lord, how do YOU see me?"

In this episode, Fr. Steve and Ashley talk about the various seasons of life we can find ourselves in and how it's okay for our prayer to change during these times. We aren't always being asked to go back to how our prayer used to be, but to enter into our current transition or season with the Lord and see what He has for us.

In this episode, Fr. Steve and Ashley take a short break from the current series on virtue to talk about sanctifying the ordinariness of our everyday life, specifically that of motherhood. Fr. Steve recently gave a talk to the moms group at Ashley's parish, in which this topic was discussed. In this episode, they discuss some of the main points and point to room for more discussion here.

In this episode, Fr. Steve and Ashley talk about the virtue of acceptance, and how growing in acceptance leads to a growth in patience. In order to be patient with ourselves and others, we must first accept the circumstances we find ourselves in. If we do not accept reality before us, it is impossible to interact with that reality and receive the graces the Lord wishes to bestow upon us.

We can all grow in patience! We continue to use Romano Guardini's book, Learning the Virtues That Lead You To God.

In this 50th episode, Fr. Steve and Ashley talk about the virtue of Truthfulness, as mentioned by Romano Guardini in his book, Learning the Virtues That Lead You To God.  We have an obligation as Christians to speak the truth always, while recognizing that truthfulness needs also the virtues of courage and love for the person with whom we are speaking with to aid in its fruitfulness.

In this episode, Fr. Steve and Ashley continue talking about living the life of virtue. Virtues show the potential of man and what he is destined for. 

Like we spoke about in our last episode, we are created for freedom and virtues help us attain that freedom, but they also help provide order. True order is understanding that God alone is God. Disorder comes when we leave virtue in pursuit of our own self-seeking desires, and God is no longer on the throne of our hearts.
