30 minutes inside the mind of a Catholic Christian, dad, husband and nerd. Not the best. Not the worst. Probably a lot like you. Each week, I look at something happening now or currently in my head. We may take a deeper dive into a single topic: philosophy, the Bible, theology, parenting, career, society, questions or guest interviews. Whatever I pick, it usually ends up being something to which we can all relate, and that matters. No holds barred. Sometimes raw. Sometimes an obscure pop culture reference. Wanna get deep? Sure. Wanna get weird? Okay. Enjoy the ride. Let's talk.

Sep 08 2021 29 mins  
Happy Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, y'all!  Today's episode is the last one in this format.  I'm making some changes.
