Mountains Made Low

This week's episode is an enthusiastic conversation on why Catholicism is unlike any other religious tradition in the world. Dennis and Christine talk about how we are imprinted with the Divine Image everytime we receive the Eucharist and how any conversation on the Catholic Church has to begin and end with the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist--Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. 

Have you ever received a miracle?  Chances are you have, but all too often we fail to recognize those moments when God is breaking into our day to remind us of his presence and his love.  In this episode we help listeners understand that the miraculous is far more than wondrous events that defy scientific explanation.  God works miracles in our lives all the time!

Join Christine and Dennis for this episode as they help listeners understand what annulments are an are not, why they are necessary, and how they can bring healing and consolation to those who are divorced.

This week, Dennis and Christine discuss the Catholic veneration of relics. What constitutes a relic in the first place? Are there different "classes" of relics? Among many other topics of conversation, like Stanley Cup trophies and curio cabinets, the important distinction is made as to why remnants of saints are able to be spread throughout the world, but doesn't justify humanity keeping their loved ones from the sacred burial rites of the Catholic tradition (hence, the curio cabinet conversation).

Have you ever had someone tell you unequivocally that God doesn't exist and then go on to use Science and Reason to prove their point?  Perhaps you have questioned God's existence at one point or another?  In this episode, Christine and Dennis set faith and revelation aside and demonstrate how can we know, through reason alone, that God really exists?  Well break down the philosophical proofs for the existence of God as presented by Thomas Aquinas in a way that will enable listeners to have a rational conversation with someone who disbelieves in or questions God's existence.

One of the most overlooked and undervalued commandments is the call to honor our father and mother, but what exactly are we being asked to do and how do we do it?  Christine and Dennis dive into this important commandment and how it really sets the foundation for our being able to love God and others more fully.

We always enter the new year with a lot of ambition and can-do attitude, setting personal goals for health and wellness, financial success, improved relationships, and personal achievements.  What about setting some goals for your spiritual well-being? In this episode, Dennis and Christine provide 7 resolutions or goals that will help you improve your relationship with God and live well in the modern world.  

Christine changes things up for our Coffee (& Tea) Talk episode, and instantly regrets it!  Find out why, as we discuss our thoughts on the death penalty, the Church's use of social media, our favorite seasons of the Church, and Christine's Catholic pet peeves.

As Christians we often say things that are well-meaning, sincere, and well-intended, but there are somethings we just shouldn't say even though our intentions are good.  In this episode, Dennis and Christine will look at three statements we should all avoid making and explain the reasons why.  They'll offer a better alternative too!

As human beings we use signs to communicate to each other, and as a Church, we use signs to convey the sacred in simple and sometimes profound ways, but how do signs work with God?  Have you ever asked God for a sign?  How do you know if something is a sign from God? Join Dennis and Christine as they delve into the role and use of signs in our faith and as a means of communication from God in this week's podcast.
