S2E8: Chastity Is Not Repression. Modesty Is Not Chains | with Fr. Kevin Menard

Fr. Kevin Menard joins us for an honest and refreshing conversation about chastity and modesty and why both are so often misunderstood. Chastity is about far more than simply abstaining from sex, and modesty is not just about women or what they wear. Together, we explore how chastity is really about integrating our sexuality into the whole person in a healthy and life giving way. This episode tackles two major misconceptions. Chastity is not repression, and modesty is not shame. Rather than suppressing our sexuality, chastity helps order it rightly so it can become part of a fuller, freer way of loving. Modesty is not about embarrassment over our bodies, but about dignity, self respect, and recognizing the dignity of ourselves and others. Fr. Kevin offers a hopeful and beautiful vision for living these virtues authentically in today’s culture and seeing sexuality not as something shameful, but as a gift from God meant to be lived with freedom, and love.

S2E4: The Virtue Between Tradition & Charismatic (Pt. 2) ft. Fr. Sean Grismer

In Part 2, we continue our conversation with Father Sean Grismer on traditional and charismatic Catholicism by diving into more concrete practices and tensions. We discuss Holy Communion and the different ways it is received, the role of groups like the SSPX, and practices such as veiling and outward reverence. Rather than debating sides, we focus on the meaning behind these expressions and what they reveal about our approach to worship. Ultimately, this episode challenges us to move beyond labels and rediscover a faith that is both deeply reverent and open to the Holy Spirit. More from Fr.
