What Is Truth?

Remaining Human

In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, automation, and artificial intelligence, what does it mean to remain profoundly human? In this episode, Dennis and Christine break open Pope Leo XIV’s prophetic encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, exploring its urgent call to safeguard the dignity, creativity, and relational heart of the human person in the light of the rapid acceleration of AI.

What Is Truth?

In a world of shifting opinions and endless noise, what does it mean to seek truth? In this episode, we explore the Catholic understanding of truth — not as a concept to debate, but as a Person to encounter, reflecting on how truth reveals reality as God sees it, and how living in that truth frees us from illusion and fear.

Holiness in the Digital Age

In an age of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and carefully curated online identities, what does it mean to pursue holiness? How can we hear the voice of God when our attention is constantly divided by the demands of a digital world? In this episode of Mountains Made Low, we explore the challenges and opportunities of seeking sanctity in a culture shaped by technology. From the relentless pace of modern life to the addictive pull of stimulation and the pressure to present a perfected version of ourselves online, we examine how today's digital habits can quietly undermine our relationship with God, others, and even our own souls.
