Christmas is just around the corner. Journey with us as we join Joseph and Mary's journey towards Christmas. We all want our Christmas season to be meaningful, so join Mandrid as he breaks open the Christmas story and leads us into prayer and reflection in this last Live Catholic podcast episode of the year.

The Church has grown exponentially through the decades. What's the secret? Why the Holy Spirit, of course! Tina and Pat talk about a renewal that the Holy Spirit has introduced to the Church. It is a renewal that touched millions of lives throughout the world. However, it has faced so much backlash and criticism through the years up to this day. What is this renewal? How did it start?

With everything that occupies our time today: work, studies, hobbies, social media, online games, streaming platforms, and more. We have to ask these important questions: Do we still need to pray? Is prayer still effective today? Er talks to Vince Saplot, the Live Catholic Program Coordinator, on how we can grow in our prayer life in the midst of a busy world.

We live in a very confusing world. Everywhere in the world, there are confusing things happening in society: politics, freedom, the pandemic, vaccination, and a lot more. All this confusion can also stir up confusion and anxiety within our hearts. But do not worry! Great news! Grace can be found even in the midst of confusion. Listen to our 3 Live Catholic hosts: Er, Tina, and Mandrid as they talk about God's grace; how to discover it, and receive it even when there is so much confusion in the world and within.

Following on from the topic of temperance in the recent Live Catholic Online episode, Mandrid talks with his good friend Fr. Joshua Scott about Catholicism and Alcohol. Join them in the conversation as they look at the Church's stance on alcohol, dive into the misconceptions, and unpack this issue in relation to the current times and realities.

Reality: Many cradle Catholics leave the Church or no longer value their faith. Do you know some of them personally? Tina and Pat give us a walk-through preview of Brandon Vogt's new book: How to draw your child back to the Church. As young Catholic missionaries of today, it is good to know the different reasons why young Catholics leave the Church, so we know how we can reach out to them and draw them back. 

Er talks with Bernz Caasi, a former anti-Catholic who became the founder of Unboxing Catholicism, about how it is to be a true Catholic in Social Media. How important is it for a Catholic to show his faith in Social Media? How do we deal with the rising Cancel Culture and public shaming happening online?
