30 minutes inside the mind of a Catholic Christian, dad, husband and nerd. Not the best. Not the worst. Probably a lot like you. Each week, I look at something happening now or currently in my head. We may take a deeper dive into a single topic: philosophy, the Bible, theology, parenting, career, society, questions or guest interviews. Whatever I pick, it usually ends up being something to which we can all relate, and that matters. No holds barred. Sometimes raw. Sometimes an obscure pop cul ...

I'm so excited to record this episode. It took a major effort to take my full-scale conversion story as a Baptist minister becoming Catholic and condense it into one small segment. However, I think I got the major points across. It's not so much that I left anything of my former denomination behind as much as it is what I've gained through the Sacr…

Why are airports so hot? I mean, you're organized kinda like an 80s era shopping mall with shops and stalls and vendors. So why can't you control the climate like a mall did? I'm asking for a friend.
