    “Is being unmarried a call to priesthood?” This question opens a discussion on the relationship between personal vocation and divine calling, while also addressing how to explain the Rosary to Protestants and the nature of purgatory. Other topics include principles for giving to the poor and the implications of Vatican II’s teachings on interfaith worship.

    Questions Covered:

    • 02:27 – I’m 32 and unmarried. Is this a sign I’m called to priesthood? Married life is still preferable, but I believe whether I’m a priest or married is up to God, not me.
    • 08:35 – How do I explain and defend the Rosary to Protestants?
    • 18:50 – Why isn’t purgatory instant? Why does it need to exist in general?
    • 23:35 – Should we give money to people living on the streets? What’s a good general principle for giving to the poor?
    • 37:32 – Can you explain Vatican II’s teaching that we worship the same God as Jews and Muslims? It seems anti-trinitarian to me.
    • 49:15 – How do you balance calling out heresy with being kind to your opponent in debate? When are you more direct vs. more charitable?
    • 53:30 – Responding to an atheist dilemma. Is Jesus’ sacrifice really a “Sacrifice” at all if he knew he was coming back? How do I respond to this?

    • The Family Room - How to Be Bold in a Fearful World
      Guest: Kevin Wells, journalist, author, and speaker

      While poor role models wring their hands at the downward cultural spiral, author Kevin Wells sees an urgent need for heroic lives in the public square. Although raised in a strong Catholic family with 10 children, Kevin’s faith became lukewarm. Attending a retreat at 40, God grabbed Kevin by the scruff of the neck, convincing him the retreat was nothing more than a weekend opportunity to feel good about himself. Convicted, Kevin asked God to wake him up. Exactly one month later, he suffered a brain aneurism which should have killed him. Instead, Kevin experienced a miracle he’s convinced was expedited by the intercession of his murdered uncle. 

      Spurred on by gratitude and a desire to help get the Church back on course, Kevin challenges us to amputate those things which draw us away from God. He believes Christ calls us to sacrifice, yet is convinced “the greatest disease afflicting humanity is comfort,” pointing to the widespread complacency permeating our culture. Kevin’s articles, talks, and books teach us how to lead heroic lives of virtue instead of indulgence. His book, “Coached by the Cure,’” outlines how to shepherd souls in our modernist culture. 

      Guest biography: Kevin Wells is a Catholic author, speaker, and former sports reporter. He is the best-selling author of two books: "Priest and Beggar: The Heroic Life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz" and "The Priests We Need to Save the Church," a written plea for holy priests written in the aftermath of 2018 scandals. Wells has spoken nationally for groups including the Legatus Summit, Napa Institute, That Man is You, on EWTN’s the TASTE program, as well as hundreds of other events, speaking  of the urgent need for heroic lives of virtue and untamed Catholicism in the public square. His articles have appeared in Crisis Magazine, Catholic World Report, The Imaginative Conservative, The National Catholic Register, Catholic Exchange, and LifeSiteNews, to name just a few. When Kevin is not writing and speaking, he enjoys spending time with The Sisters of Mary and their 20,000 children in Boystowns and Girlstowns throughout the world. Kevin loves baseball, reading, and writing and lives in Maryland with his wife and three children.

      From a Prayer by St. Aelred of Rievaulx

      Lord, may Thy good, sweet Spirit
      descend into my heart,
      and fashion there a dwelling for Himself,
      cleansing it from all defilement both of flesh and spirit,
      impouring into it the increment of faith, and hope, and love,
      disposing it to penitence, and love, and gentleness.
      May He quench with the dew of His blessing
      the heat of my desires,
      and with His power put to death
      my carnal impulses and fleshly lusts.
      In labours, and in watchings, and in fastings,
      may He afford my fervor and discretion,
      to love and praise Thee, to pray and think of Thee;
      and may He give me power and devotion
      to order every act and thought according to Thy will,
      and also perseverance in these virtues
      unto my life’s end.
