Episode 6 – A Wrap Up and An Empire State Building
October 5th, 2008
In this episode, I finish off the thought from the last episode in a much shorter fashion. We then discuss why it is foolish to compare yourself to the saints for the sake of magnifying your own sinfulness. We find that the saints were people just like us, in more ways than we may think.
Episode 5 – A God Like Gravity
September 16th, 2008
In this episode, I describe how most of us tend to think about God as a vague, abstract concept and how we would all be better served by thinking of Him concretely. God is not like a dream, I contend, but, rather, much more like gravity.
Episode 4 – The Superheroes’ Dilemna
July 27th, 2008
In this episode, I describe the “superheroes’ dilemna”, a problem which all comic book and movie superheroes must inevitably face and why it is very relevant to some of the most important questions in our own lives as Catholics.
Episode 3 – Praying for Prayer
July 16th, 2008
In this episode, I talk about prayer and why we need to think about our own intentions. Faith is necessary for true prayer, but how can we pray at all if we first need ask for faith? We find that the answer lies in who is actually the initiator of prayer.

Episode 2 – It Ain’t Happiness
July 8th, 2008
In this episode, I talk about why so many people expect to be happy and are disappointed when they experience pain. Instead, I’ll tell you what you will receive from God if you seek holiness and why it is vastly superior to happiness.

Episode 1 – One Revolutionary Truth
July 6th, 2008
In this episode, I introduce myself and start off this podcast with the reasons for starting it and what I hope to gain from it and how I hope to help you. I also explain that there is one simple but revolutionary truth that is so desparately calling for recognition in our modern culture.
Please feel free to leave comments on this post and give me some feedback. I’m sorry that it is a little rough, but it is my first podcast recording ever.
