In today’s episode, we dive into John 13:34–35, where Jesus gives His disciples a new commandment: "Love one another as I have loved you."

But what does that actually look like in everyday life—at home, at work, on social media, and in tough relationships?

This episode breaks down practical, honest ways to live out Christ’s love when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or downright difficult. Whether you're feeling strong in your faith or barely hanging on, there's something here for you.

Because at the end of the day...

You don’t have to be perfect.
Just keep coming back to Jesus.

On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we reflect on one of the most comforting promises in all of Scripture: “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” In this episode, we explore what it means to be known by Jesus, how to hear His voice in a noisy world, and why nothing can take us out of His hand. Whether you're seeking peace, direction, or a reminder that you belong, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Your Average Catholic, host Benjamin Kramer reflects on the powerful Gospel story from John 21:1–19, where the risen Jesus meets His disciples on the shore for breakfast—and gives Peter a second chance after his greatest failure.

We’ll explore what this passage reveals about redemption, trust, and how Christ meets us right in the middle of our everyday lives. Whether you’re feeling spiritually dry, stuck in routine, or carrying regret, this episode is an invitation to hear Jesus' question to Peter—and to us: “Do you love me?”

Tune in for relatable insights, moments of prayer, and a practical challenge to help you live your faith more deeply this week.

Today we get to talk about the beautiful story of Doubting Thomas and how God answers prayers even when we lock him out.

Thank you for listening, I hope you all have a fantastic week. God Bless!
