He reflects on encounters with evil and shares practical wisdom and hope, fostering a community where listeners find raw encouragement to renew trust and draw close to their faith.

 
Dylan - My friend doesn't want his kid to go in Confession with a priest because he distrusts priests. (00:30)
Maria - My daughter is in witchcraft, and I have to fight this. This has been hard on me. What can I do to overcome this? (13:54)
Teri - I have always told my Protestant friends that priests don't go into the priesthood to become pedophiles. Pedophiles go into many professions, including the priesthood, but they were already that way. (20:32)
Ana - When did the rules change for lay people to take the Eucharist out of the tabernacle? (24:50)
Pete - My grandmother claimed she saw a lady in white appear to her at the age of five, she stepped on a thorn and was healed. Should I treat this as a miracle? (41:21)
Andreanna (email) - Was it wrong of me to assign my high-functioning autistic daughter a Hail Mary, Glory Be, and Our Father after she couldn’t understand the priest’s accent during her second confession, and how can I better prepare her for the next one?
Keith (email) - Is it a good strategy to respond to my friend’s constant jokes about priests by pointing out that teachers and coaches have faced similar scandals without their professions being attacked the same way?
