This week we are recording live from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, where we spent the week with family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving. While we were in town, we went to see a movie (Fantastic Beasts II), and our car-ride conversation plus the trailers before the movie sparked this episode. How do we define ourselves? How does society want to define or not define genders and gender roles? What’s the right answer? Find out this week with Chuck and Annie.

This week, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops are meeting for a general assembly.

Through this apostolate, Chuck and Annie have met amazing people from all around the world answering the call to Sainthood with heroic faith and virtue.

Happy All Saints Day to our Salt and Light community! We hope that more than a year after starting this little apostolate, we have helped in some small way to point you to Christ and help you grow in love for Him striving for Sainthood!

On this episode, Annie is joined by a special guest (at the request of the Frank Friar) Audrey Horn. It would be quite difficult to find two more different sisters. Annie and Audrey highlight these differences on the show to have some fun but also to demonstrate how in our vast differences we are both pointed in the same direction and mightily striving for Sainthood! How alike or different are you from your siblings? Does it affect your relationship positively or negatively? Do you sanctify each other and help each other on your spiritual journeys?

In light of the current Youth Synod in Rome, the staggering statistics of Catholics leaving the faith and individuals who do not identify with any religion at all (aka the Nones), and our current culture of “meh”, Chuck and Annie identify a major issue and tackle this subject based on their wide experience especially with the youth.

The Psalm and the Gospel from the 27th Sunday in Ordinary time were the inspiration for this week's podcast. The Psalms don't usually get much attention in homilies or weekly commentaries, but we felt that this one in particular could not be overlooked. Do you know much about olive trees? In this episode you'll discover which one you might be and which one you might want to be and why.... and what on earth this has to do with the Gospel and the Christian life.

After the second reading during Sunday Mass (25th Sunday in Ordinary Time), Chuck elbowed Annie and whispered that he wanted to think and talk about the reading more afterwards. Their subsequent discussion turned into this week's podcast episode. This episode introduces the common thread between the book of Wisdom, the letter of James, and the Gospel of Mark and what Chuck found so compelling. Join us for another episode of the Salt and Light podcast.

In this week’s episode of the Salt and Light podcast, Annie joined by guest co-host, Father Nicholas Blackwell aka The Frank Friar. Father Nicholas is a Carmelite friar currently serving and living in NYC. We start out the episode by asking Father questions submitted by children who listen to the show and from there we launched into an awe-inspiring conversation about Carmelite spirituality, the journey of the soul to the embrace of the Father, and many more stunningly beautiful things…. but I won’t spoil it for you! Don’t miss this episode of the Salt and Light podcast!
