How do I know what God wants for my life? Which decision is the right one? Is it okay to choose what I desire? Is all peace good peace? Today I chat with Dan Burke, President of the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, to discuss how to hear God’s voice in your life. Dan shares his story of getting through an abusive upbringing to being introduced to God by a co-worker, ultimately leading to his discovery of God and God transforming his life. We also discuss how to discern among multiple good options, how to talk to loved ones living in perpetual sin, and the role of desire in discernment. Dan also analyzes some of my own personal discernment experiences.

Today I sit down with Melissa Kearney, professor of Economics and author of Two Parent Privilege, to discuss the privileges attached to coming from households with two married parents. As the world blames a myriad of issues as the cause of the mess of our culture, Melissa Kearney believes that the most foundational problem lies in the way our society values the stability of family life. We discuss the eye-opening statistics of the differences in outcomes between those who come from intact families and those who don’t, what our government should do to encourage stable marriages, how our communities should support those in tough economic circumstances, and more.

While many of the statistics about Gen Z imply that this generation is falling away from traditional values, Isabel Brown begs to differ. On today’s podcast, Isabel Brown, author and cultural commentator, and I discuss the truth about Gen Z. We discuss the religious and political trends of Gen Z, how Gen Z women’s sexuality is effected by social contagion, how Gen Z men are leaning more conservative than ever, how Gen Z influencers’ conversions are impacting millions, and how Social Media is a tool that can be used for good.

We discuss what we can learn from the story of Jerome Lejeune, each temperament’s virtues and vices, why the temperaments are important to learn, the temperaments of different saints, how to use knowledge of your temperament to develop virtue, how your character represents who you are moreso than your temperament, and much more.
