Episode 13: TALKING!

Episode 13: TALKING!

Two Jesuits talk about talking, and somehow it turns into landline nostalgia, mnemonic phone numbers, sixth-grade Valentine's gifts, and that one Boyz II Men song everyone slow-danced to. Fathers Eric and Damian wander through answering machine bits, DJ-Damian's homemade radio station, and the strange genius of dial-tone melodies before landing on something deeper: what it actually means to listen, to be present, and to let conversation be its own kind of prayer. Proof that the best conversations don't need a topic — just two people willing to stay on the line.

Episode 12: JESUIT FORMATION!

Spoiler: joining the Jesuits is not like applying for a job. In this listener-requested episode, Fr. Damian and Fr. Eric walk through the whole formation journey, from muggy move-in days at the novitiate to lying prostrate at ordination, with plenty of honesty about the hard parts, the funny parts, and the parts where God just kept showing up anyway. Originally released on May 11, 2026.

Episode 11: REST!

Fr. Damian is running on empty, Fr. Eric can't stop saying yes, and somehow both of them ended up hosting a podcast — classic. In this episode, the Fathers get real about rest: what it looks like, why it's so hard to actually do, and the guilt that sneaks in when you finally try. Turns out Jesus was pretty serious about taking breaks, too! Originally released on May 4, 2026.

Episode 10: PRESIDING!

What does it feel like to sing the Exsultet while quietly panicking? To pray the words of institution and try not to cry? Fathers Eric and Damian talk presiding: the fumbles, the favorites, and the deep joy of standing at the altar as yourself. This one's for anyone who's ever wondered what's really going on up there. Originally released on April 27, 2026.

Episode 9: PRAYER!

Nobody told Fr. Damian and Fr. Eric they had to agree on how to pray — and it shows. In this episode, the two get honest about their very different rhythms of prayer, the grief and hope they've been carrying into their own quiet moments with God, and why the best definition of prayer might just be "wasting time with God." Spoiler: it's worth every second.
