What was it like to be raised Wiccan? How do practices of the occult indicate the existence of a supernatural reality? What are the flaws in the occult and New Age philosophies and how is Jesus the answer to our deep longing for the unseen? Today I sit down with Nora Jensen, a former Wiccan who looked down on Christians. She shares her supernatural experiences while practicing spells with her parents, which left her with a lingering sense of caution and doubt about her childhood beliefs, ultimately leading her to convert to the Catholic faith. She discusses a mystical experience of receiving God's love during the exchange of peace at Mass and how it changed her life forever.

What was it like to be a close personal friend of Mother Teresa? How did she handle a demanding schedule while still giving genuine attention to every person she encountered? What was her spiritual darkness like? Today I sit down with Jim Towey, author of “To Love and Be Loved” and former attorney for Mother Teresa. We talk about this wonderful saint (one of my biggest inspirations!) and what her heroic life was like. We explore the secret to her powerful influence over politicians and celebrities, and how her humor, humility, and deep compassion for the marginalized have solidified her legacy as one of history's greatest humanitarians.

What are the non-negotiable factors for Christians to consider when voting? Do we have a moral responsibility to participate in political activism? How are Christians meant to interface with earthly government authorities? In this election, many are dissatisfied with both candidates for President due to their hardline positions related to abortion. What are we as the faithful to do when confronted with two evil, non-ideal options? Today, I sit down with Fr Ambrose Criste of St Michael's Abbey  to answer this and other questions as we discuss all things politics from a Christian point of view.
