On June 9-10, Annie attended a conference called “Ephesians: The Mystery of Christ” in Austin, Texas hosted by the Fullness of Truth Catholic Evangelization Ministries. Three speakers, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. John Bergsma, and Dr. Michael Barber, unpacked the beauty of St. Paul’s words, teachings, and revelation of Jesus Christ in the book of Ephesians. This podcast is different than our others, because this podcast is the audio compilation of two video summaries Annie shared on the Salt and Light Facebook page while at the conference. If you’d like to see the audio versions, they can be found on our facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/saltandlightonline .

In Episode 3 of the Salt and Light Podcast, Chuck and Annie discuss the new movie Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 and how existential truths are woven throughout the whole movie. In all of creation, the three transcendentals, Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, are not only present but also reveal the soul’s upward yearning to unite with its creator- God Our Father. Do you see these in literature, music, art, science, nature, etc.? This episode will illuminate how even a baby dancing tree and a raccoon with a laser gun can speak to our innermost longings for the meaning of human existence and God.
