We must understand that we are going through different journeys, and God is doing something completely different in each of our lives, and we must be attentive to that. Let us not be so quick to judge—everything is not as simple as it may seem. As we continue our journeys through life, we will constantly encounter our own and other people’s struggles, flaws, weaknesses, and even sins. In our Catholic life, many questions will come our way, and in this episode, we’ll try to answer a few of them.
Here is another one of our Hot Takes episodes that discuss some essential topics that most of us can relate to. In this episode, we’ll be going through the following topics:
- Should I write down my sins for confession?
- How to make a better confession.
- Thoughts on the fraternal correction?
- Therapy, Yes or No?
- Chapel Etiquette

Jubilee and Prophets
What does our identity as prophets mean? We are baptized in Jesus and called to be prophets, meaning we are called to reveal the Father in everything we do. In our words, our actions, our personalities, our vocations, our mission, in everything we are and God has given us, we are called to reveal God. In this podcast episode, we’re talking about living the Jubilee and restoring our identities…

Human Stuff
Why are the most ordinary parts of life often the hardest to navigate?
In this episode, the friars lean into the everyday realities we all deal with: conflict, communication, expectations, and the awkward moments we’d rather avoid. From navigating tough conversations to managing unspoken expectations and misunderstandings, they talk honestly about how “human stuff” can quietly shape our relationships for better or worse.
Rather than offering quick fixes, the conversation invites us to grow in maturity, courage, and clarity to stop avoiding discomfort and start choosing honesty, vulnerability, and charity in the messiness of real life.
Join us as we laugh, reflect, and learn how God meets us right in the middle of our very human stuff.

Up there, we are invited to embrace the experience and the beauty of childlike wonder and awe. It’s a place of intimacy with and revelation of God.
