Helluva Catholic Podcast

Fr. Josh is joined once again by Anthony and Jared, this time to discuss media consumption. Though the intent was supposed to be what type of media is appropriate, it quickly shifts to the question of how much (hint: the answer is none, none media). Who expected this podcast to stay on topic anyway? St. John Vianney, pray for us!

Can you smell what the Rock is cookin'‽ We'e got a shorter one this week. Laura joins Fr. Josh and Anthony for a casual discussion about St. Peter. The three of them go through a few events in St. Peter's life and discuss their own perspective on them and what we can gain from them. St. John Vianney, pray for us.

Well, are you? Fr. Josh and Anthony welcome Jared Kleinwaechter to the podcast for the first time to discuss the notion of "once saved, always saved." What does that mean to a Catholic and why is St. Paul so confusing in his language? Also, if anyone knows the Rite of Blessing of a white board for use in Mass, please let us know. St. John Vianney, pray for us.

Not a podcast this week (I know you're all dying to get back to them), but Fr. Josh's talk on the the Triduum. He discusses the signs and symbols of the holiest time of the year, and talks an inordinate amount about the Harrowing of Hell. Enjoy!

"This is kinda one of our more informative...stuff about the Catholic Church and our faith kinda podcasts." That was the intention at least. Today Fr. Josh and Anthony are joined by Alex and Shannon to discuss the Four Marks of the Church- one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. However, they struggle to define what the "Church" actually is and meander their way through talking about scandal and a "nutritious Eucharist."

It's Ash Wednesday, time to start fasting! Fr. Josh and Anthony welcome back Alex Tatum, and first time podcaster Shannon Murray.

Yes, you read that correctly, dragons! Fr. Josh and Anthony welcome Alex Tatum to the podcast for the first time, as we discuss St. George and other Catholic legends. We've got dragons, Thunderoaks, swords, the Holy Grail and papal bones! What more could you want in a podcast?

Money money money money. The podcast is back and we're talking about every Catholic's favorite topic: tithing! Fr. Josh and Anthony welcome Ana Gomez to the podcast and discuss the reasons for tithing, as well as some practical advice. Also, there's skiing and camels.

Fr. Josh is joined once again by TJ and Ben to discuss St. Anselm's Theory of Atonement, presented in a way "that will blow the minds of people who have never heard it."

The inglorious return of TJ Capaldi! Father Josh, TJ, and Steven tackle the subject of meditation. Prepare for "intense disappointment."
