Ep. 15 - The Power of Philosophy and Tradition with Fr. Adams

Fr. Adams shares with our host Dan Veitkus how a passion for philosophy as well as the well appointed words of one speaker led a young teenage boy who had given up his faith into the heart and soul of traditional worship and the need for it amongst young adults. Beginning life in Sacramento, CA and moving to Idaho, Fr. Adams story of growing up in the church and loosing touch is one many people can relate to, but his desire help others and the desire to share with others the life-giving energy he found in daily mass are what make Fr. Adam's story so precious and remarkable. There are powerful lessons to be learned and shared within the marriage of philosophy and faith, and Fr. Adam is a living testament to their power together. Dan and Fr. Adams speak about moments of spiritual consolation and spiritual desolation, moments of grace and peace, and a host of other things that are practically applicable to our daily lives.

Ep. 12 - Magnetic Moments of Grace in Joy and Trials with Thalia Meza

Moments of encounter with people are the beginning of every blessing and story, and Thalia Meza is no stranger to how God’s grace is present and alive during these experiences. Though we experience highs and lows, challenges and moments of unexplainable grace, one thing is certain and that is how everything we walk through as individuals is leading us, preparing us for what’s next. Thalia shares her beautiful story of conversion and how one moment in church convicted her spirit, and how one family in particular caused her to reevaluate her relationship with Christ after being exposed to their liveliness, kindness, and gentleness. There was a sense of trust that she felt around them and out of that, a willingness to ask questions and explore a life of faith was born. Each day brings an opportunity for Thalia to grow closer and closer to God and she is brought more and more to live through that joy and hope.
