"Let us give thanks to the Lord our God" "It is right and just!" 
Giving thanks is one of the most important aspects of the spiritual life, and not just on Thanksgiving either. 
Taylor and Father Mark share some thoughts and ideas on the importance of gratitude and its relation to how we love God. 

St. Paul is one of the most significant figures in the life of the Church and serves as a model for all of us in many ways. Taylor and Father Mark discuss this towering figure and some of the ways in which Paul is a model for all of us and his deep impact on the entire Church. 

Priests are a gift, and we need to let them know.
This week, Taylor and Father Mark talk about the priests who have impacted them the most in their lives. 
Make sure you thank the priest(s) in your life who have helped you on the path to holiness, especially since this Sunday is priesthood Sunday!

Bishop Ricken is back! Taylor and Father Mark discuss with Bishop a completely silent football stadium, a trip to the Philippines, a middle school Santa, and, of course, the Holy Eucharist.  

New books, new markers, new teachers...it must be a new school year! 
Taylor & Father Mark offer some suggestions for how to make this school year one centered on your family's faith. 

It's not rocket science...even if our guest WAS at NASA, it's about time spent with Our Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist. 
Taylor & Father Mark are joined by Father Joseph Aytona, C.P.M., the rector of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion. Father Joseph shares his story, as well as words of encouragement for those discerning and all of us looking to grow in holiness. 

Our final installment of the GB Diocese pivotal players series is here...Adele Brise!
Taylor and Father discuss her inspiring story, as well as make a sweeping declaration on how to pronounce her last name. 

Love for the most Holy Eucharist led Father Michael Thiel to a deep faith, to the priesthood, and eventually to helping lead the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage in the Diocese of Green Bay both on land...and boat!

"Try again." These were the unspoken (but very present) words in Father Juan Carlos' (ordained May 2024) journey toward the priesthood. From being a catechist, to pursuing business success, falling away from the Church, and then being called back home and to be a priest, there is much to take away from this beautiful story. 

"Take a step." That is the advice given to our newly ordained (May 2024) priest, Father Mark Rydell, as he discerned his calling to the holy priesthood. Today, he shares that story of discernment with us!

Father Scott has spoken, the cause is finished.
He's back! The, self-appointed, "king of the loopholes"  has returned to our diocese after studying canon law and, on this episode, he helps us to see the hidden beauty of the law. 

Discipline, self-control, taking direction, and keeping your eyes on the prize...
These virtues are found both in the life of sports and faith, and that is the topic of conversation this week: how do faith and sports intersect? 

What if we could truly see what was taking place at the altar during the Eucharistic sacrifice? What beauty might we behold? 
Well our guest today experienced just that, and he wrote a book about it! Deacon Dave Scheuer shares his miraculous story which is also captured in his book, "A Glimpse of Heaven on Earth".

Kairos year, discipleship, configuration, oh my! What are the stages of priestly formation in our diocese, what is the goal, and why do we call them what we do?

Taylor and Father Mark are joined by one of our Diocese's newest priests (Ordained in July 2023), Father Ben Pribbenow who shares his vocation story and the beauty of God's call. 

Spiritual warfare can be a loaded topic, but it is so important. This week, we have Father Girotti back on the podcast to discuss this important reality with us and help us navigate the often invisible world of spiritual warfare. 

Don't call it a come back! 
We are so pumped to be back, and we're even more pumped for Lent...and so should you! 

We've got some changes to announce but here's a long story short; stick around!

Father Kevin Ripley, the incoming Director of the Kairos Year and priest celebrant at UWGB joins Taylor and Father Mark to share his vocation story.
