Saving the Titanic

Do you wonder if we're on the deck of the Titanic, listening to the beautiful music as the ship goes down?  Uplifting topic, eh?  Though this podcast forces us to "face the music," I hope it gives us a new vision for changing the direction of the country.  Please send this one around - we must turn the tide!

Musings on Monks, Money, and Meaning

Anyone feeling a bit unsettled about the future of America?  Deacon Tim thought it might be a good time to focus on eternity.  To gain some insights into the topic, Deacon Tim looked for answers from the Benedictine monks, men who have mastered the art of the long-term perspective.  If you know anyone who feels anxious about the future, this would be a good podcast to pass along!

Modern Pilgrims and Pilgrimages

Do you think of pilgrimages as a throwback from the Middle Ages?  In this podcast, Deacon Tim points us to the Bible for the origins of this spiritual practice, and we talk about the life-changing effects of a pilgrimage.   It's better than a trip to Disney World, we promise!

A Life of Blessing

This podcast is one of my favorites to date.  I always send my kids out into the world by saying, "Be a blessing - do God's work," and this podcast tells how to live this kind of life of blessing.  But, unlike the current religious culture, it's not a life devoted to receiving blessings.  I hope I'm more interested in being an instrument of blessing.  This podcast inspires me to do just that!

Sacramentals- God's Instruments

Catholics often get criticized for being uptight and formal, yet I think we're a very "earthy" church.  We use things in the physical world such as rosary beads, blessed oils, holy water, etc. as a way to connect us with God.  If this seems like hocus pocus, this podcast's for you!
