Jason and Andrew sit down with EWTN News Nightly producer Christian Swezey to discuss what it means to vote with a well-formed conscience as Catholics, and how easily that can be acquired.

With every election becoming more critical and volatile than the last, it's equally vital that Catholics understand where we must plant our feet on the moral issues that are underneath all of the decisions on our ballot.

The gang sits down with Fr. Patrick Mary and Fr. John Paul Mary, both priests with the Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word (the order founded by EWTN's foundress Mother Angelica), to discuss the idea of discernment and how it applies not just to determining one's vocation but how it is needed to see God's will for everything in our lives.

Today the guys discuss the idea of political migration: moving from one state or country to another because the new home reflects your values and beliefs better than where you came from.

We often hear of conservatives leaving blue states for red states to escape oppressive, immoral, and (frankly) sinful laws in order to live in places that are safer and healthier for our families. The hosts take a brief look at the issue, laid against the background of recent events, consult the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and take a larger view of our responsibility as men to see such things through.

In the spirit of Lent Jason, Mark, and Andrew discuss the concept of carrying our cross like Christ instructs us in Luke 9. What are our crosses? What do these things look like on a daily basis and over the longer course of our lifetime? What does it mean practically to 'carry your cross'? Are we actually hauling lumber around? These are all things we take a look at a bit more closely on today's episode.

This episode we welcome Mark Irons as our newest addition to the gang of St. Joseph's Workshop hosts. We draw from the inspiration of biblical figures and patriarchs like Abel, Abraham, David, Solomon for the concept of giving God our best, and making him the first priority in our lives at a time when it's becoming increasingly difficult to do either.

In this episode Alan, Jason, and Andrew discuss an issue we all face: the devil entering into our thoughts and planting seeds of fear and doubt that can cloud our vision of God's will for us. Using, Fr. Donald Calloway's book "Consecration to St. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father" the co-hosts discuss the examples set in scripture and tradition by Jesus, Mary, and Joseph to fight back against our tendencies to doubt whether we're following God's will.

The two books referenced in this episode can be found here:

1. Consecration to S. Joseph: The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father, by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC

2. Consecration to Jesus Through St. Joseph: An Integrated Look at the Holy Family, by Dr. Gregory Bottaro & Jen Settle
