Courtney Mares is the author of the definitive biography of Carlo Acutis and has written several articles about Pier Giorgio.

Today, Dr. Pakaluk talks with Andrew Petiprin about his new book “Shock of Holiness.” This approachable and practical book is a series of articles written to show us that true heroism and holiness is found in our everyday life. From the mom taking her kids to Mass, to holy water, and everything in between, Dr. Pakaluk reminds Catholics that God’s grace and presence is imminently in our lives and can bring about an extraordinary change if we allow Him. Dr. Pakaluk calls us to find the true romanticism in our daily activities.

Oftentimes, we think our identity is something we create, but in today’s episode Fr. Gregory Pine shows us that our identity is found in Christ, present in the Eucharist.

Fr. Gregory Pine is a well-known priest, Dominican, philosopher, and YouTuber, and today we are so grateful to introduce his new book, “Your Eucharistic Identity.” Andrew Petiprin joins Fr. Pine to discuss what it means to find our identity in the Eucharist. They reflect on the mystery of the Eucharist and even its “weirdness” to the extent that a real substantial change is brought about without any visible change. Fr. Pine articulates a proper understanding of transubstantiation and clarifies how we find our uniqueness and belonging in the Body of Christ.

If you want to deepen your understanding and love for the Eucharist, then this is the episode for you!

Everybody wants to have better relationships, whether it is with their friends, the person they are dating, their spouse, or God Himself. Today, Dr. John Cuddeback joins Ben Eriksen to discuss these types of friendships, as well as virtue, happiness, and even dating. Their conversation draws on the wisdom of Aristotle as well as a relatively unknown Saint Aelred.

Dr. Cuddeback’s practical wisdom is extremely helpful for all ages, but most especially the young as they develop new friendships and consider dating and the vocation to marriage.

Cardinal Ouellet explains what “synodality” is and what the risks and opportunities are for a synodal Church.

Get Your Copy of His Book “Word, Sacrament, Charism” here: https://ignatius.com/word-sacrament-charism-wscp/?searchid=2543554&search_query=ouellet

Among Catholics, there has been a lot of talk about “synodality” and a “synodal Church” over the past few years. Pope Francis even called a synod on synodality. But what is synodality, and why is it important to the Church? Is it even relevant for Catholics in the pews? Does it undermine the Church’s mission or past teachings?

Today, Cardinal Ouellet joins Mark Brumley to explain what synodality is, why it is important, and what are its inherent risks and opportunities. We are grateful for the opportunity to speak with his Eminence because he was involved in the most recent synod on synodality as well as the four previous synods. He also worked with Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis and served as the Prefect of the Dicastery of Bishops for ten years. Therefore, today’s episode and his recently released book “Word, Sacrament, Charism: The Risks and Opportunities of a Synodal Church” provide valuable insight into synodality and into the mind of the Church as she chooses to promote greater synodality.

In our sit-down interview with Michael O’Brien, we asked him about his newest book, “Letter to the Future.” Michael reveals which character he most resonates with and explains how this novel is different from every other apocalyptic book. While he does not try to predict the future, his fictional work highlights some of the moral, spiritual, and interpersonal wisdom one can glean from such troubled times.
