Real, Raw, and Rich

I discovered Jason and this podcast through social media and as a young black convert to Catholicism this has been something very rare that I’ve been able to relate. I desire holiness and seek God and both Fathers give practical guidance based off their life experiences that put me on the right path. I’m trying to learn how to pray and get “Closer to God” and I love what Fr. said “Know Yourself, Conquer Yourself, and Give Yourself to God.” I’ll definitely look for a great Spiritual Father and begin to unpack this. Let’s be saints!!
