About Teachings for An Unbelieving World: Teachings for an Unbelieving World is a newly discovered work written by St. John Paul II—then Archbishop Karol Wojtyła of Kraków—in the years just after Vatican II. He uses St. Paul's sermon to the people of Athens in Acts 17 as a framework for articulating the faith in a culture of skepticism and unbelief. These thirteen brief reflections provide compelling teaching for Catholics in today's post-Christian world and give fresh insight into JPII's pontificate.

On this week's show, we converse about the joy of music, creating during Coronavirus, and the beauty of "Little Dreams" with singer/songwriter Marie Miller. About Marie Miller Marie Miller is a singer/songwriter and mandolin player from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. She grew up on a small vineyard with her parents and nine siblings in an old house named Glenway. Her most notable performance was for Pope Francis and 700,000 attendees at the Festival of Families in Philadelphia, PA. About Little Dreams With LITTLE DREAMS Miller has chosen to return to the acoustic, folk-oriented, approach of her roots. But she's still creating music for the same reason she always has: a desire to connect people with beauty, solace, and cheer. "It's the reason why I came, the reason why I'll stay," to pull a line from the album's title track. "No matter where I go, beauty finds me somehow," she says. Still, LITTLE DREAMS isn't following the script of "happily ever after" after hard times; this is an album that encounters the moments when all seems dark, and cold winds threaten to blow out your internal spark. Everyone's got that spark. For Miller, it's to make music that asks listeners to acknowledge their own spark— the motivating force that reminds us all why we've been put on this earth.

The founders of NLI realized that, as the legal environment increases in complexity, spiritual entrepreneurs will need specific education and timely resources so they may exercise their religious liberty without fear of transgressing the law. This requires a better knowledge of taxes, corporate structures, and a tangle of local, state, and federal labor laws and regulations.

On this week's show, we appreciate the comfort and beauty of "home" with Noelle Mering. Noelle is the coauthor of the book Theology of Home: Finding the Eternal in the Everyday and an editor of the online magazine theologyofhome.com. She also writes frequent on the topics of culture, politics, and religion and has published in National Review, The Federalist, and National Catholic Register. Noelle and her husband live in Southern California with their six children. About Theology of Home: Why do Americans love their homes, spending hundreds of billions of dollars annually on home improvement, renovations, and decor, but meanwhile, the notion of a homemaker is still held in contempt? The theology of home responds to this tension by examining the idea that home is meant to be a foreshadowing of heaven and a preparation for the eternal home for which we all, wittingly or not, long. In seeking to understand the 'why' behind home we can reorient ourselves to dive more deeply in our relationships — first with God, then our spouses and children, and extending into our communities and friendships.

You can also pursue more of his work at www.johnmarkcomer.com. About The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: Dallas Willard once called hurry "the great enemy of spiritual life in our day." Followers of Jesus are not immune to culture's pain. Many of us live with a low-grade fatigue and chronic anxiety that rarely, if ever, goes away. We careen through our days at breakneck speed and wonder where God is in the fray. The reality is, most of us are just too busy to live an emotionally healthy and spirituality vibrant life. Hurry is incompatible with the way of Jesus. The love, joy, and peace that form the nucleus of Jesus' kingdom are all impossible in a life of speed. We must, as Willard went on to say, "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry."
