The Break: The Acolyte Season 1 Review; books and prophesies
During my coffee break, I review the first season of The Acolyte now that the series has wrapped; I talk about some of the books I read this week and I talk about the risk of seeing modern day events as fulfillments of Biblical prophesies or as signs of Divine intervention.

The Break: Celine Dion, The Boys, Bear Grylls and Traveling with Tech
The new documentary 'I am' in which singer Celine Dion shares the heartbreaking consequences of being diagnosed with the rare 'Stiff People Syndrome' may be one of the most important things she has ever recorded. In this episode, I explain why.
I also talk about the controversial superhero series 'The Boys' and how its story reflects the current climate in large parts of the western world.
I review Bear Grylls book 'A Survival Guide for Life: How to Achieve Your Goals, Thrive in Adversity, and Grow in Character', and I explain why we need more Catholic testimonials like this.
And I share with you what technology I'm taking with me on my first 'Digital Nomad' experiment this upcoming month. -

I’ve learned so much from his break Such a brilliant priest
We are blessed to call him father
Turned Hard Left
Father Roderick used to be awesome. But lately he has become a far far leftist shill. He openly parrots far left talking points and even attacks leftists for not being extreme enough. Either he is a despicable person or just sucking up to the woke mob to stay out of their cross hairs.
awesome podcast 👍
i’ve been listening to Father Roderick’s podcasts since 2014. i would always listen to his podcast before going to sleep, always having interesting and fun topics to talk about. i also appreciate a priest who watches anime like i do :)
