Bethany took over, Tony played with the camera switcher and Arnel was being well, Arnel.
We just talked about our advent, what it was about and had some laughs, but we did get a little serious here in the middle. We chatted a bit about how difficult and lonely the Christmas season can be for many of our family and friends. Enjoy the show.

EP 138: Ismael & Juan [Heroic Friendship]

Happy Halloween!!!
Yes This Connected does celebrate Halloween! Why? Because it is very Catholic.

But on the 138th episode we invited 2 friends who I have been inspired about since I have seen the joy in their faces in the activities.  Also not knowing that the things they do actually does in a way lead others closer to Christ.  The two young men were inseparable, yes I said inseparable until Juan took the plunge and entered into #seminary to become a #priest. 
So listen to the episode and hear all the joys and craziness they have had and laugh and smile along with us all throughout the episode.

Follow them on social media and follow the #SBDioceseVocations to find out more about religious vocations.

EPISODE 136: " HOLIES" - Testimonial of Shia LeBeouf

"DIG IT UP!"
On this episode we watch and talk about the recent interview that Shia LeBeouf (pronounced "shall I buff") had with Bishop Barron on the movie Padre Pio in which  he starred in the role of St. Padre Pio.  The four of us on this episode, Producer Tony, myself along with guest hosts  Josue Marin and McPherson Michael Rodriguez talk about key parts of the interview and share our thoughts.  
It's a lighthearted conversation (between four bearded bros over beer) that has a serious tone to it.
Here are the minute markers of our conversation:
00:10:00  - TLM experience
00:31:22  - The transforming power of the Gospel
00:40:01  - Laughter - Aka JOY
00:53:16  - A man in todays world
01: 01:20  - The Eucharist is not just a cracker
01:13:00  - Pio and the Mass
01:23:30 - Who is Pio?
