Science and the Seventh Sunday of Easter: How Faith and Science Co-exist in Ordinary Time

Easter Sunday may be over but the Easter Season is only just now coming to an end. While the Church calls this Ordinary time, there's nothing 'ordinary' about living as Resurrection people in a world driven by science, technology, questions and uncertainty. Today we're diving into this beautiful tension - and harmony - with Monsignor Frank Karwacki, pastor at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church and former science teacher. SCRIPTURE: John 10:10 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Albert the Great

If Mary Had a Podcast...

Today we're exploring the idea of Mary not just as our mother, but as our friend who's walked this path with us, sharing her wisdom, her faith, and pointing us to our ultimate goal, her Son. Amanda Snyder - convert, mom and co-facilitator of the An Investment in Motherhood group at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish - joins us today to explore how our blessed mother might advise us as we navigate our modern motherhood. SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:38-45 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Louis de Montfort

Reconciliation as a Radical Act

Today we're exploring what many nowadays would consider a radical act: the sacrament of Confession. Donna Giberti joins us to unpack how reconciliation can be a radical act for us Catholics, and indeed, very punk rock. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:23-24 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Josephine Bahkita

From Wounds to Witness: Living the Risen Life

To anyone who’s unfamiliar, the Catholic observance of relics might seem a bit creepy. And if Jesus conquered death at Easter, why do we do it at all? Today we’re joined by Father Matt Cannon, pastor at St Paul the Apostle church in Annville, to share with us how the saints provide an example for us of a faith that shows up in real life, and why venerating their relics can be an integral part of our faith. SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:36-48 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Maria Goretti

Faith and War: Understanding the Church’s Just War Teaching

How do we reconcile our Catholic Faith and Current events? Today we're joined by Father John Bateman, Pastor at St. Joe's Parish in Mechanicsburg and chaplain in the PA Air National Guard with a degree in Canon Law who's uniquely qualified to help us comprehend current events from all sides: as a civilian, as a soldier, and as a Catholic. SCRIPTURE: John 15:13 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: Venerable Emil Kapaun

Hearts Burning on the Road

The disciples couldn't recognize Jesus walking with them on the road to Emmaus - what hope is there for us to recognize Him when we are so distracted by modern day living? Donna Giberti, spiritual director for the Diocese of Harrisburg, joins us to share some ways we can practice recognizing Christ in our every day. SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:28:35 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: St. Ignatius of Loyola

Hosanna and Heartache: How Music and Silence Shape Our Faith

Music is the universal language - it can reflect all the aspects of how we’re feeling throughout life, in particular when it comes to our faith and the powerful moments of Holy Week. Today we're excited to welcome Father Maximilian Mary Dean, a hermit priest of our Diocese and award-winning Catholic musician who uses his gift to give Glory to God in unique and powerful ways. SCRIPTURE: Luke 19:38 SAINT SPOTLIGHT: Saint Cecelia SONG: "I Will Lead You into Solitude" by Fr. Maximilian Mary Dean www.fathermaxmusic.com

Discipleship is a Way of the Cross

Sometimes the most meaningful parts of the Christian life don’t happen in grand gestures or dramatic moments. They show up in the quiet decisions we make each day — how we respond to challenges, how we treat the people around us, and how we choose to walk with Christ in the middle of ordinary life. What does that look like for those of us in the 21st century. What does it mean to be a modern-day disciple of Christ? Father Matt Canon, pastor at Saint Paul the Apostle Church in Annville, joins us to chat about some tactile ways we can grow in our discipleship, really take up our cross, and follow Christ. Scripture: Luke 9:23 Saint Spotlight: St. Matthew
