The Pew Report, Our Video Process, and Scripture Study Roadblocks
We talk about the creative process of trying to figure out what kind of YouTube video will get the most views, the grand opening of our t-shirt swag shop, and we reflect on the recent Pew Report stating that 69% of Catholics don’t believe in the Real Presence of the Eucharist and how that’s reflected in the recent death of Jeffrey Epstein and multiple mass shootings across the United States.

Beth Schrader and Caring For Your Spouse
Throughout their years of marriage, Beth Schrader’s husband has struggled with depression, anxiety and ADHD. After hearing us discuss Greg’s mental health issues on our “The Hidden Battle” podcast, Beth started to put the pieces together that her husband’s battles were not just occasional, but every day battles that become smaller but never quite go away.
Not knowing how best to help her husband, Beth began battling shame and worry that, fortunately, lead to more positive conversations and approaches and mental health within their home.
Beth courageously volunteered to share her story as the spouse of someone suffering from mental health issues and joins Greg to discuss the difficulties of loving someone who is in such pain.

Why Read Church Documents?
The gang pontificates on how important it is to read original church documents, especially in the light of the changes the church has seen since the Second Vatican Council.
We discuss this in light of the recognition that the language is often dense and difficult to understand. These documents call us to a greater and deeper holiness.
