These Are My Friends: A Catholic Slice-of-Life Podcast

With the upcoming 50th Anniversary of Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae, we wanted to cover a topic that, in our experience, doesn't get that much coverage in the young adult ministry circles: Natural family planning (NFP).

We did our best to unpack a theologicaly dense subject starting with the encyclical itself. We then dive into the topic of NFP. Finally we talk about the fruits we can gain from practicing NFP. NFP is more than just peroidic abstinence. It is a means by which a Catholic family can increase or decrease their chances of pregnancy while still respecting God's will by not interferring with natural law.

Hello hello! In this episode, Chris and I talk about the Sacraments of Communion and Reconciliation as well as our experiences with them. We also touch a little on the liturgy, the early church, and a tiny bit of philosophy. There may be a lot of tangents in this one but it always points back to the Eucharist and to Confession. Hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone! This week's episode is fairly different. I wasn't able to work out a co-host for this week's show so this ship is flying solo! Yes, it was awkward but yes, it was still fun.

This week, I thought it was a good time to go over a little bit about myself, my personal testimony, and how I was called to start a podcast. It was a long time coming but I'm so glad God has entrusted me with a pretty fun way of spreading His Kingdom here on Earth.

Finally, I dive into this episode's main topic: The importance of rest. We're constantly surrounded by things fighting for our attention that it's quite easy to get overloaded. I talk about why it's important to take a break and how silence can help you in your prayer life.

Here are a few links that I referenced in this episode:

Before I say anything else, I need to make a correction. It was bound to happen sooner than later. I state in the podcast that the Orange County chapter of Young Catholic Professionals is the only YCP chapter in SoCal but San Diego has a chapter as well! So sorry San Diego. :-(

This year, we have a few fun coincidences between Catholic and secular holidays: Ash Wednesday/Valentine's day and Easter/April Fool's day. Since Ash Wednseday and Valentine's day are a few days away, Chris and I decide to tackle on both topics in this two-for-one special!

As always, please recommend this podcast to a friend if you enjoyed it. Follow us @TAMFpodcast on Facebook and Twitter. Have a blessed Lent!
