Dan and John reflect on how much this world needs peace right now.  Together, they try to arrive at how all of us, as individuals, can have a meaningful impact - and bring peace - to our communities, our families, and to our hearts.

Dan gets a chance to go off-road camping one last time for the season and some hikers pass by their camp - it reminds us all of God's Word and the Golden Rule.  Plus - there are some driving tips in this episode (really - there are).

Behind the scenes, Dan and Deacon John have even more fun than they let on.  Here are just a few of the bloopers out of the first 18 weeks of podcast production.  Visit @purposedrivencatholic on Facebook and leave a comment about this, or any other episode and please contact us if you would like to share your own story on an episode.

Dan and John are back this week to share a story from John's journey when God used the "small whispering sound" of his voice - and what happened next changed everything.

We have a guest on the podcast this week who shares the journey he has taken which brought him through the RCIA and into the Catholic Faith - and has lead to a period of discernment and becoming a Secular Carmelite.

How many times have you set out to do a thing - and there is an obstacle that stands in the way?  That is what we face today in the current "episode"

Now is a very acceptable time... to start listening to the Purpose-Driven Catholic Podcast.  Dan and Deacon John talk about the value of our time - who we best spend it on and how to fit everything into our lives in the time God gives us.

Dan and John reflect on a few things that are happening now in their parishes that make them feel a little bit "normal" again.  Dan shares a story of driving on the beach and having the waves threaten their gear - a little like the world threatens us at times.

Dan explains where he has been for the past week and how the trip turned into a teaching moment with his son. Dan and Deacon John also complain a bit about the weather (this is normal).

Sometimes we have to go back and excavate around our foundations - to fix what he had built - to strengthen them more and more in the Word.
