About this listen
The latest episode of Navigating the Cross, "How to Be a Saint While Doing Homework," features host Spencer and his roommate, Brody. Brody, an education major, discusses his journey from being raised Catholic to becoming a more devout Catholic in college, navigating previous doubts inspired by Protestantism and scrupulosity.
The hosts focus on the intersection of faith and college life, specifically the duty to practice academic honesty. Brody emphasizes that education should cultivate a well-formed conscience, not just lead to a degree, and details how his faith encourages him to rethink rules regarding assignments, such as avoiding the improper use of AI.
The conversation also tackles struggles with laziness and procrastination, particularly regarding daily prayer and reading the Bible. They discuss overcoming the temptation of doom scrolling and other addictive behaviors tied to technology, stressing that radical action may be necessary to avoid near occasions of sin. The episode highlights the importance of fortitude—doing the hard work even when you don't feel like it—and concludes with advice to cultivate virtue through fasting during Advent.
