While most of us know we’re supposed to watch what we say, a lot of us haven’t yet realized that there are times when it’s actually a dreadful sin to tell the truth.
Yep, no joke. There’s lying through your teeth and then there’s “lying” through your truth.
What am I talking about?
Listen to today's episode to find out.

I’d bet my bottom dollar that you have a loved one or know people who have left the faith. Maybe it’s a spouse, children, friends, or whomever.
It’s heartbreaking.
They walk away from the very source of eternal life and we’re beside ourselves as to what to do.

And the typical reaction is often to nag, cajole, and strategically place evangelistic books on the coffee table in a desperate effort to light a spark in the heart of the wayward.
It rarely works.
So what do we do? How do we get them back? How do we get them to desire divine life and return wholeheartedly to the sacraments?

We all need healing...every last one of us.
And the latest Art of Catholic Podcast episode explores a bit of a different, but powerful angle on the topic that can make all the difference when it comes to healing deep emotional wounds and finding true freedom.
Most Catholics are at least somewhat familiar with the idea of redemptive suffering.
It's what your mom was referring to every time you stubbed your toe as a kid and she'd tell you to "offer it up." 
Redemptive suffering takes place when we unite our own trials to Christ's through a simple act of the will and obtain graces for ourselves and others.
But have you ever heard of redemptive healing?
In my conversation with Catholic psychologist and Franciscan University of Steubenville professor Dr. Matthew Breuninger, we discuss what redemptive healing is and why approaching inner healing through a trusting relationship with God is the only way to make real progress.
We also hit topics like:
-The powerful role of forgiveness in healing
-How suffering mistakenly becomes normalized
-Why living for security robs us of freedom
-The difference between pain and suffering
-How we can experience freedom in Christ and still carry wounds. 
So if you or anyone you know has struggled to heal from interior wounds, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Is anyone else starting to get some Terminator vibes from the whole ChatGPT thing? Am I the only one who hears in their head an Austrian accent when reading back what it spits out?
I’m kidding, of course....kind of :).
I admit to sometimes asking, "What can this thing really do?"
Because while I don’t think Artificial Intelligence is quite to the point where we need to start worrying about robot overlords, there are definitely some legitimate concerns when it comes to the ethics behind this new technology.
So how should Catholics respond to AI?

When I asked my parish priest who the new guy with the blond ponytail in our parish was, I had no idea his conversion story would be so compelling that I'd end up asking him to be a guest on the Art of Catholic Podcast!
In fact, Stephen Johnson's entire life story is a fascinating journey, one that took him from the Mormon faith of his childhood through atheism, New Age beliefs, and Evangelical Protestantism, and finally home to the Catholic Church.
And all this while serving in the military as an Air Force Pararescueman, one of the most intense special mission units in the Armed Forces!
You've GOT to give this episode a listen.
