Heather and I discuss what prayer is and how we can pray better. We look at how our prayer deepens our relationship with God since prayer truly is our seeking God.

What we consume forms our minds, actions, and life. The more we consume things that are immoral, the more we are numbed to them. This can directly effect our life. The more we watch or listen to them, the more we give them exposure. Holy things will lead our lives to more holy things.

Going to confession can be scary. We have to acknowledge our sinfulness, but we also see how loving and merciful God is to us. This episode discusses how we can go to confession with less stress and anxiety.

This week's episode looks at the love and sacrifice inherent in the vocations that God calls us to live out. They become the pearl of great price that when we find them, we sell everything else and go after that pearl. The vocation to the priesthood is a life of service to the people of God. The vocation that husband and wives live are to each other and their children as a sign of God's love for the Church in their sacrifice to each other.

A local youth minister, Heather Dunn, brings questions from her experience from youth ministry. We look at how to explain why we are not able to receive communion at a non Catholic Church and how to enter into the Mass knowing we may have distractions. Listen as we explore the answers to these tough questions.

God is a very good, loving, and merciful God. He forgives our sins, yet the question why we confess our sins to a priest is a different question. It has to do with the mission of Christ, and what he has passed on to the Church.

The God Search has now using a new format. The format is answering questions posed to me. The first question has to do with why we must use wheat in the unleavened bread for the Eucharist. Please send me your questions. I would love to answer them,

Sin is boring, there is no two ways around it. There is nothing new about it, Fr. Dwight Longenecker reflects upon this in his article "Sin is sooo Boring! (http://www.catholiceducation.org/en/religion-and-philosophy/spiritual-life/sin-is-soooo-boring.html)". God truly is life giving, sin takes away joy, love, and fun.

Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. His heart speaks to our heart so that we can be drawn deeper into his life. This is not an academic search, but a growth in love and friendship with Jesus.

Loss and grief are a part of our life. Where is God and Jesus Christ in the midst of all the grief and loss in our life.
