Episode 66: The Gift is in the Invitation

Since 40 hours of our week are dedicated to our professional lives, it can be very easy to become discouraged or disillusioned with the work that we're expected to do. Deadlines, processes, and bad attitudes can fill our environment and our workday, leading us to lose sight of the goals and hopes we once had for our jobs. How do we make sure we work in order to live and not the other way around? Fr. Jesse shares insight about work from the Catholic tradition in this episode of The Being Church Podcast Special Guest: Fr. Jesse Martinez.

Episode 65: The Value of Work with Fr. Jesse

Full disclosure: We had to re-record this episode because the fact that 70% of Catholics don't believe in the Real Presence really made Tom and Alissa bitter. When this survey came out a few weeks ago, prominent Catholic voices made their displeasure known. Bishop Robert Barron published a firey YouTube video calling for more consistent catechesis, and Tom Carani ranted in the hallways of St. Louis parish. But with a few weeks between the published survey and our reaction, we're trying to focus on positive next steps. How do we evangelize the good news of the Eucharist to others while re-affirming its truth for our own lives? Share this episode of the Being Church podcast!

Episode 64: Reaction to the Pew Research Eucharist Survey

A podcast about Catholic culture and the life of our parish.
