    Episode 28: The Urgency and Seriousness of the Spiritual Life
    Jul 14 2025
    In this episode, Fr. Barry Cuba and J.D. McQueen emphasize the interconnectedness of the community and the urgency of prioritizing the spiritual life. We often face challenges and overestimate our capacity to meet those challenges or underestimate what we face. How do we invite God into these challenges? Are we actually prioritizing our faith or taking it for granted? Living with spiritual urgency is not about fear but about embracing the gift of today to live fully in God's grace.

    Episode 26: Forgiveness 3: Towards God and Ourselves
    May 30 2025
    "The Journey of Forgiveness – Towards God and Ourselves" J.D. and Fr. Barry continue their discussion regarding forgiveness and direct it toward a part of the process that can sometimes be overlooked: forgiving God for what we feel he owes us, and forgiving ourselves when we were not at our best. How do we renounce self-judgment and embrace the truth of our identity as a beloved child of God?
