S04 Ep17 - Rejoice - Advent Part 3

Part 3 of our Advent series has us talking about joy and rejoicing taken from Philippians 4:4. Padre and Stina discuss the necessity of rooting and cultivating one’s joy in the depth of Christ Jesus during Advent, and not being persuaded or hoping to find one’s true Christmas joy in the materialism of the season, nor even the ‘perfect’ Christmas dinner.

S04 Ep14 - ’Jesus Wept’ - Grief

In this episode Fr Sean Byrnes and Stina Constantine talk about grief and our response to it, from three different angles: pastorally, therapeutically and of course theologically.  Jesus wept with those He loved - grief is not a wrong state to be in, but how do we best assist others in this state? This episode provides aspects and angles to better grasp how we may help others in our family and community with the loss of someone they may love.

S04 Ep12 - When a Shepherd Leaves His Flock - w/ Co-Host Grace Morey

We are airing a very sensitive and delicate topic with co-host Grace Morey this week. We want to talk about the gap and silence that has been felt in the Church and community when priests and pastors relinquish their pastoral vocations, NOT to point the finger or blame them, but to address the lack of conversation about it. How it causes father wounds to the rest of the community, the lack of addressing our emotions and feelings, how there seems to be no space to have the conversation and to help in healing. A REALLY big topic, we hope this episode is the beginning of this conversation, not the end.
