Cycle of Trust and Evangelization // Episode 203 31:39

2d ago31:39

31:39

Evangelization has become something of a buzz-word in Catholic circles today. Worse than that, sometimes it takes on an inhuman and mechanistic tone that couldn't be further from the truth. So Joseph unpacks what he means by evangelization, and what he suspects the Church also means... Here's the cycle in picture form! If you're a Catholic husband …

"Lord, Don't Trust Philip Today" // Episode 202 24:02

10d ago24:02

"Lord, don't trust Philip today." Simple, profound, hilarious, and supremely useful, this prayer has long been a favorite of Joseph's, and in this episode, he shares why.

The Rich Young Man and Marriage // Episode 201 18:00

17d ago18:00

This past Sunday's gospel reading was about the rich young man, and one thing that may not have been immediately evident is how tied it is to the notion of marriage. Listen in to find out more!

Marriage as an Apostolic Institution // Episode 200 42:13

24d ago42:13

42:13

Happy 200th episode, everybody!! Christ instituted seven sacraments. Three of them are sacraments of initiation, two of them are for healing, and two, friends, are ordered toward the salvation of other people. Those two sacraments are holy orders (deacons, priests, and bishops) and matrimony. Hear how we unpack how matrimony is meant to be an apost…

Testimonies vs. Stories // Episode 199 32:43

1M ago32:43

32:43

Have you ever been to a talk on evangelizing and been told that everyone has a testimony to share? It's partially true. But where it's partially false, it can be extremely damaging to people. Because not everyone has a testimony to share right now, but everyone is in the midst of the greatest love story ever told. If you're a Catholic husband, feel…

Conversation Starters // Episode 198 24:53

1M ago24:53

24:53

One thing missionaries need to be able to do is to start friendly conversations. Joseph may not be the most charming and extroverted fellow, but he spent years thinking and trying out different ways to start conversations with strangers-- here are some thoughts on the process! Here's a link for Catholic husbands to spend 45 minutes with Joseph: htt…

"What have you been reading recently?" // Episode 197 27:14

1M ago27:14

27:14

One of Joseph's favorite questions to ask people is "What have you been reading recently?" It's both prompted great conversation, as well as produced a number of awkward moments. Matthew Kelly has said, "We become the books we read"-- so if we're interested in who people are and who they're becoming, what they're reading is incredibly important! He…

Rethinking Failure // Episode 196 32:54

2M ago32:54

32:54

We're in a pretty failure-averse world. There's not much mercy and not much margin for error in a world where our mistakes can be plastered across screens throughout the world. So how do we wrap our heads around failure, and what kinds of failure are out there? Turns out, there's at least three kinds of failures-- one for when we're learning and gr…

The Midas Touch and the Screenification and Sterilization of the World // Episode 195 17:09

2M ago17:09

17:09

Nathaniel Hawthorne has a lovely version of the story of King Midas, called "The Golden Touch," and Joseph read it aloud to his kids recently. While it's ostensibly about greed, it's also about exchanging real life for sterile, un-smellable, un-tasteable, un-nourishing shiny facsimiles. In other, unrelated news, how's your smartphone looking these …

Life is Worth Living, Sharing, and Multiplying // Episode 194 19:58

2M ago19:58

19:58

It's weird how scandalous it sounds, that life is worth living, sharing, and multiplying. But these are ways we're inclined to be, to behave, and to desire as human beings. So saith Aristotle, Aquinas, and me, your friendly neighborhood podcaster. (Joseph did mis-speak-- it's in question 94, article 2, not question 86, of first part of the second p…

Importance of Invitations // Episode 193 36:37

2M ago36:37

36:37

Our social fabric is threadbare these days, and making invitations is our way of re-enforcing, patching, and strengthening society. Joseph talks about having invite-to-able lives, about making clear invitations, and handling rejection. Those are the things he needs to hear, so he's guessing you might too! On our website, if Catholic husbands have a…

Three Tests for Pride // Episode 192 15:52

3M ago15:52

15:52

How proud am I? Do I think I'm wiser than I really am? Do I think I'm stronger than I really am? Do I think I'm more excusable than I really am? Probably. And that, my friends, is prideful.

What It Takes to Live in the City of God // Episode 191 13:49

3M ago13:49

13:49

If we want to live in harsh conditions, we could wear appropriate equipment, we could change the conditions, or (maybe impossibly) we could change ourselves to adapt to those conditions. If we want to live in perfect love, there's a temptation to either become superficial or water down what it means to live perfect love, while the only real option …

Three Reasons Catholic Singles Should Consider Marriage // Episode 190 17:31

3M ago17:31

17:31

Marriage can be great for many reasons, but its greatness is not one of the reasons Joseph talks about getting married. What does he talk about? The sacrament of marriage fundamentally re-orients us to with respect to time, it stitches together a broken society, and the process of finding a spouse can and should help raise the collective bar for me…

Jesus Asleep in the Boat // Episode 189 14:21

4M ago14:21

14:21

Here's the text of the passage from Mark 4:35-41: On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let us cross to the other side.” Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. J…

Importance of Different Kinds of Friendship // Episode 188 16:16

4M ago16:16

16:16

Aristotle writes about three different kinds of friendship in the Nicomachean Ethics. It's not uncommon to hear talks about friendship, and how of the three kinds, the best/truest kind of friendship needs to be focused on. We even have some episodes about that very thing. But what Joseph noticed recently is that we're suffering not just from a lack…

Men's Ministry, Knights of Columbus, and the Cor Initiative // Episode 187 33:52

4M ago33:52

33:52

While the Grubers have started a marriage ministry, that also serves Catholic singles, Joseph has been moonlighting as one of the pilot-ers of the pilot initiative of the Knights of Columbus, Cor. It's been a very different way to serve men in the community, both from what the Knights have been doing as well as from what Joseph has been doing. You …

John Michael Talbot joins us for an engaging conversation about his life, his conversion, and his thoughts on Christian community and how lacking the American church is in contemplative prayer and the contemplative life.

The Creed of Saint Paul: An Avuncular Episode // Episode 183 42:47

7M ago42:47

If you asked Saint Paul to boil down his beliefs-- where they came from, what they are, and who they're for-- you couldn't get much better than what he offers at the end of 1 Corinthians. We're blessed with a Catholic anthropologist uncle again on this episode, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did! As always, check out our work, and join our …

Jim Jansen, an accomplished evangelist, author, and all-around good guy, joins us for a conversation revolving around his book, "A Clear Path of Discipleship."

Friendship: A Talk // Episode 179 49:16

9M ago49:16

49:16

Friendship! It's one of those things that, without which, we can't really say we're happy. We gave a talk to a group of missionaries a few weeks ago on this topic, and we cover not only the standard friendships of use/pleasure/virtue, but also what the levels of intimacy are, and how to communicate truth, goodness, and beauty to a friend on the reg…

Why People Aren't Getting Married, with Pete Burak // Episode 178 52:20

9M ago52:20

52:20

Marriage, that bedrock of society, is a little bit crumbling these days. So we invited Pete Burak, from Renewal Ministries, to talk with us about it. Pete has spent many years investing deeply in that vaguely defined group known as Catholic Young Adults, so if anyone has a clue about what's going on with this demographic, it's probably him. Find mo…

Romans, Sacrifice, and Us with Fr. Jacob Gruber // Episode 175 53:07

11M ago53:07

53:07

Romans 12:1-2 sounds an awful like we're all priests in the new covenant, with no room for a set-apart priesthood a la Leviticus...or does it? Always a joy to have Fr. Jacob with us, and we hope you enjoy as well! If you've been missing us (and we've been missing you too), we'll be offering a live video workshop with the founders of WalletWin! Plan…

Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, we don't recommend listening with children present (you probably figured that out by the title, though...)

We have a great guest on, Daniel Boyd, who has spent years working to support the Catholic Church, with everything from campus ministry through RCIA through consulting to having a lovely marriage.

Creative Word of God in Genesis 1 // Episode 172 21:53

Speech is creative. It creates attitudes, relationships, tension, release, stories, purpose, etc. And when God speaks, He literally creates everything else.

The Three Stages of Moral Education! // Episode 171 27:11

1y ago27:11

27:11

For whatever reason, our nature as humans seems to handle groups of three pretty well. Three stages to the spiritual life, three stages to acquiring knowledge according to classical education, three stages to a moral education...the list probably goes on, but those are the three groups of three we'll be talking about! We reference the book Morality…

A Key to Deeper Relationships // Episode 170 26:18

1y ago26:18

26:18

There's a crisis of loneliness in the world, and a lot of it has to do with being closed off to other people. If we want to be open to other people, it means we need to live in a world that's big enough for people to disagree. Being open to potential conflict and disagreement is a necessary step to having a deeper relationship. The book we mention …

Why We're Running a Marriage Ministry // Episode 169 17:56

1y ago17:56

17:56

We don't think it's alarmist talk to say that the whole idea of marriage today is, well, fraying. And without strong marriages, there can be no strong society. And that's pretty well why we left our job as parish missionaries to start a marriage ministry. There's an enormous need out there, and when it gets as bad as it is now, even our help may be…

Joseph sits down to talk with friend, former teammate, and civil-engineer-by-training, Alison De Lima Fernandez, to talk about community, zoning, suburbia, and the like. Alison referenced Jane Jacobs, who advocated for such things as mixed-use development, bottom-up planning, and treating a city as an entire ecosystem. Joseph had never heard of Jan…

Why It's Good We Can Be Wrong // Episode 167 48:42

48:42

We may not like being wrong, but if there were no way to tell right from wrong, that seems a worse scenario. Joseph has been re-reading a book by Hilaire Belloc, called The Great Heresies, and he wanted to talk both about the book and the fact that Catholics belong to a substantial tradition and ascribe to a real body of teaching, to which we can b…

Some people are embarrassed by doubts and difficulties, whether their own or others'. Some people people are inclined to find resolution to their doubts and difficulties in the faith on their own.

Is Eucharistic Adoration a Step Backwards? with Fr. Peter Gruber // Episode 164 1:01:30

1:01:30

Eucharistic adoration: where did it come from and is it still of use? We get into the history and the relevance of Eucharistic adoration, using as our stepping-off point an article from September 2009 about Eucharistic adoration returning to perpetual status in Boston's Back Bay. This article was especially poignant for Joseph, as he spent many an …

Hebrews, the Priesthood, and Mediation vs. Alienation with Fr. Jacob Gruber // Episode 163 1:00:46

1+ y ago1:00:46

1:00:46

Have you ever read the Letter to the Hebrews? It's beautiful, it clarifies so much of the connections between the Old Testament and the New, and is supremely preoccupied with Jesus as the new high priest. And did you ever wonder, while reading it, whether it had anything to say about the ministerial priesthood? About the men who offer the holy sacr…

Does it ever feel like the world is against building up true community? Depending on where you live, the world around you might truly be physically constructed to be antithetical to building true community. So you're not crazy that it's hard!

Job and the Character of God and the Pattern of Being Chosen, Part 1 with Deacon Jacob Gruber // Episode 159 41:06

1+ y ago41:06

41:06

Joseph's seminarian brother, Deacon Jacob, hopped on a call to talk about the book of Job-- in part because it's featured in the Liturgy of Hours' Office of Readings right now, in part because it's an intriguing book, and in part because Deacon Jacob wrote a paper on the book of Job this past semester. The main thrust of his argument flows from the…

Opting In vs. Opting Out in Evangelization // Episode 156 25:18

1+ y ago25:18

25:18

When we talk about evangelization, what images come to mind? Going door to door, or hosting an event? Talking to a stranger at a coffee shop, or standing behind a table and handing out coffee to passers-by? There's a fundamental difference between the kind of evangelization that says, "We're here, if anybody's interested!" and the kind that says, "…

The Difficulty in Beginning // Episode 155 28:38

1+ y ago28:38

28:38

It's likely a truism that the statements "This is difficult" and "This is easy" are the two sides of most endeavors-- the beginning and the state of mastery. But instead of seeing difficult things as invitations to the journey toward mastery, we (and perhaps others) often recoil from the difficulty. We talk about beginnings, and beginning well, and…

Matrimony as Evangelical // Episode 154 16:31

Holy matrimony is a pretty great thing. We think so, and it seems like God does too, what with blessing it with a three-fold blessing and all. In this episode, we talk about how there's an evangelical dimension of each of the blessings of marriage-- procreation/education of children, fidelity, and the sacrament itself, or as St. Augustine put it, p…
