Moralistic Therapeutic Deism

Too Old for Tequila?

We recently attended a dinner for couples from our local parish and were surprised when someone at the table bought a round of tequila shots, which brought forth the question of whether we're too old to do shots, and also reminded Greg of a time when he drank a few too many.

Head Over Heels

A recent exploratory trip to go "tubing" down a river ended up with Greg being dunked in the water when nobody was watching.

New Show Schedule!

We announce the new schedule of shows we'll be producing and releasing in the next couple of weeks, with new content coming your way virtually every single day.  Listen to find out more!

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism

And in the "what the heck does that mean?" portion of the show, we dig up a sociological term from 2005 that seems more necessary today than ever before.  We demystify what Moralistic Therapeutic Deism is and illustrate how prevalent it is in today's society.

Ultimate Consumable Good

Discerning Focus

Does creating content just for the online "Catholic Bubble" prevent us from actually evangelizing those who need to be evangelized?

As we continue to evaluate what content to create and how to create it (i.e., with what focus and emphasis should we use), we find ourselves questioning whether our content is too Catholic or not Catholic enough.

Of Thomas and Catherine

Our discernment process also includes Jennifer studying quite a bit about St. Catherine of Sienna while Greg is being drawn more and more to St. Thomas Aquinas.  According to Jennifer, however, Greg's approach is much like our kitten, Molly, acts.

New Podcast Series - What We're Dealing With

This week we've launched a brand new podcast series, co-hosted with our friends Mac and Katherine Barron called "What We're Dealing With." In this series we'll take deeper dives into discussing Catholic topics of today with a bit more serious of a viewpoint.

Responding to Cardinal Sarah

The Frail Trail

Web Design Headaches

Greg ponders why it was once so easy to make websites twenty years ago and why it seems to take him forever to make one today.  Is it age, boredom, or the technology?

Exercise Feedback

We heard from listeners who encouraged our exercise goals based on their own experiences as both someone trying to avoid "the frail trail" as well as a physical therapist.
