Salt and Light

After following his work for many years and meeting him in person at the GK Chesterton Conference (click here for that episode), we had the great honor of interviewing Mr. Joseph Pearce on the Salt and Light podcast! In this episode we focus on Mr Pearce's book "Small is Still Beautiful- Economics as if families mattered" and discuss current economics, both macro and micro, how individuals should treat and use money in both commerce and investing, and the impotance of the fmaily unit itself and what it has to do with society and the economy. A native of England, Joseph Pearce is Senior Editor at the Augustine Institute, Senior Fellow and Journal Editor at the Cardinal Newman Society, and Tolkien & Lewis Chair in Literary Studies at Holy Apostles College & Seminary.

This week we celebrated the Liturgy of Light with the children who have spent the year experiencing the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program at our parish and growing in love for Our Lord. The Liturgy of Light is like a mini-Easter Vigil, and our son read the Gospel for the ceremony. In this episode, we chat about the ceremony, the Gospel (Mk16:1-7), and what we can learn from the angels.

How much do you know about icons? Annie is currently preparing and creating an icon-making kit with: materials, a written explanation of the history of icons and each theological element in the selected icon in the kit, instructions for painting the icon included in the kit. This kit is a gift for Chuck and Annie's goddaughter, who will be receiving the Eucharist for the first time next weekend. In this episode, Chuck and Annie invite you to join them on their icon adventure! We hope you'll learn something new and perhaps be inspired to welcome an icon into your home to enrich your own prayer life and grow even closer to Our Lord.

The Fulkersons head east to Ponchatoula, Louisiana, which boasts the only life-sized statue of GK Chesterton AND is the strawberry capital of the US AND has a town alligator who lives in the town square. Why did they travel 7 hours in horrible traffic you ask? Well, for the GK Chesterton conference of course! In this episode they discuss "What's Wrong with the World". This is both a title of one of Chesterton's books and also the theme of this year's conference.

Do you ever find yourself jaded by Bible stories you've heard repeatedly? We tackle one story in this episode that most of us probably know by heart- Peter's denial of Jesus. We break down each account in each of the four Gospels, assess four similarites- fire, women, servants/guards, and "followed at a distance," and offer explanations of what they mean for the spiritual life and state of the soul. We leave you with some practical advice about what to do with this information and how to grow closer to Christ. We even dabble in some analytical psychology...

Are you annoyed by kids in church? Are you the parent of those children in church and feel the glares of those who your kids are annoying? When we come together to worship in Church, we are surrounded by dozens of people who are different than we- in age, gender, race, financial status, etc., and yet we are all facing the same altar and worshipping the same God. 52% of Catholics leave the Catholic Church, and only 11% return according to a Pew Research study. There are many more statistics confirming this conclusion and many more which illuminate additional alarming statistics regarding the rising number of people who classify themselves as "no religious affiliation" aka the "nones". There are waves of evangelism efforts to help the "nones" return to the love of God, which is essential of course, but in this podcast, Chuck and Annie will argue that not losing people in the first place is the key. How do we do that? We listen to Jesus' words in the Gosp...
