Sinopsis

On this show, well listen to one another, problem solve together, and ultimately entrust everything to our Lord. If this is your first time tuning in, heres how the show goes: Each episode, I'll address three to four of your questions. Ill cover everything from Catholic teaching to moral dilemmas to relationship advice. I'm not perfect, and I cant guarantee that my advice is going to make things easy, but I'll do my best to share what I've learned during my time as a priest, pastor, and friend.
