SHOW DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wondered what the origin of Trick or Treat was? Or why we use the colors black and orange for Halloween? Can Catholics even participate in a holiday so closely associated with the occult? Father John Szada, our Diocesan Exorcist, joins us to unravel the history and traditions of Halloween and how it actually began as a Catholic holiday."

Show hosts interview Keven Hern, Grand Knight of Council 12788.

Did God really make you for a purpose, and is He really present even in your darkest moments?   Does God merely giveth and taketh away, or does He also redeem, restore, and heal?  And when you forgive, do you merely let go of your anger, or do you open the door to your heart?  If you’re ready to have everything you thought you knew about your faith shaken down to the studs so God can build it back even more glorious, then strap on your hard hat and go on site with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they study the plans that God has to rebuild the temple that is the human heart.

SHOW DESCRIPTION:
