Hope

Dr. Eleanore Stump showed how to find the way to hope in these discouraging times. Grateful to share this podcast.

Synod

Julia is obviously a lovely woman but she is not North American. I don’t understand why you can’t find someone to represent our young folks who is from the United States or Canada. Julia should be representing Eastern Europe. I’m not going to go on any further about this because it’s obvious what I’m saying.

Interesting guests

Michael Jordan Laskey asks great questions that are often unexpected. The caliber of his guests is also high - CEOs, college presidents, bestselling authors. This makes for excellent conversations on important topics. I recommend wholeheartedly!

The Swimming Jesuit

My first AMDG podcast was about a Jesuit brother who swam 6 miles to raise awareness and money to help immigrants at the southern border. The story was truly inspirational. Over the centuries, the Jesuits have found creative ways to help the most needy. God Bless the Jesuits 😁🙏🏻
