Great podcast Jimmy and Father Craig. I get what you are saying and there is a great message that you are sending.
Great discussion on real topics
ideas articulated and the discussion is perfect! opening up the tent is exactly what’s needed for young men today
A practical summary of why and what we Catholic Christians try to do
Fr. Craig and Jimmy Vreeland take the time to explain some tough and complex concepts. I appreciate the practical explanations. I especially liked the explanation of striving for moral excellence even though we are all imperfect and sinners. And the way the Church Community and Sacraments help us on that journey.
