Restless Catholic Young Adults

God's grace works in beautiful, unexpected ways - just ask Candace Lee, one of our local young adults with an amazing conversion story! Having grown up in the Anglican Church in Hong Kong, her journey takes her to America for studies...which lead her into the fullness of the Catholic Church. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph and Lauren speak with Candace about her journey and what led her across the globe to a new culture and a new faith!

As kids, we all had to obey our parents - but as adults, the virtue of obedience is sometimes tougher. Whether it be as a citizen, employee, or a faithful Catholic, all of us have authority figures to respect and follow. But it can be tough, in our independence-minded society, to live out the virtue of obedience, even when our leaders aren't perfect! Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Lauren, and Paul discuss how we deal with authority as a Catholic!

Coming up this week is a huge, international gathering of Catholic young adults: World Youth Day! The Pope will be showing up in Lisbon, Portugal along with millions of pilgrims from across the globe...including Joe and Lauren! They will be chatting about their excitement about the upcoming World Youth Day, along with special guest Fr. John Connaughton who shares his experience of being a veteran of these awesome events!

Joe just came back from 30 days of silence - what did he learn? How did God speak to him? It's not easy to make such a retreat, but we can learn from his experience of how God speaks to us in silence. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Joe, and Diane discuss the power of silence and how God uses retreats to bring our hearts to Him!

Whether in marriage, dating, friendship, or any other type of relationship, we will run into conflict with others. It's inevitable - even Jesus came into conflict with the Pharisees and, at times, His disciples. How do we "fight fair"? Christians are called to disagree with charity - but what does that look like, practically? Hear Fr. Joseph and the gang discuss the proper Christian techniques for healthy conflict, that we may seek peace together!

The first gift of the Holy Spirit is the gift of wisdom. In a world that values expertise and knowledge, wisdom is not often considered important. But what is wisdom? How does one obtain it? How can we, even as young adults, live wisely? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Diane discuss how to grow in wisdom even now!

As we celebrate Independence Day weekend, we reflect on the values that made America great: our Christian heritage, work ethic, focus on family and integrity. Are these still the values that characterize this country? How do we return to - and live out - those great values that made our nation great? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Joe discuss how we are called to make our country the best that it can be!

As human beings, we are an integrated whole - our bodies affect our minds, which in turn affect our souls. How do we remain healthy in all three? What do we need to do in order to find spiritual, physical, and mental health as Catholics? Tune in to hear how Fr. Joseph, Diane, and Paul seek wholeness - and holiness - as a Catholic!

All of us young adults keep getting older! As we continue on towards the middle of our lives, we consider what it means to have a midlife crisis? Some of us have experienced mini-existential crises - how has our Catholic faith gotten us through? When we look back at the first half of our lives, what are we proud of, and what do we regret? What do we look forward to in the second half of our lives? Tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss how to navigate through the choppy waters of midlife!

As summer heats up, we tend to spend more time in God's great outdoors. What is it about nature that draws us close to God and reveals His beauty, power, and providence? From St. Francis of Assisi to our modern Catholics, God's Creation has been a source of inspiration and encounter with the Lord. Tune in to hear how Fr. Joseph, Lauren, and special guest Henry speak about how they spend time in nature, and how it nurtures their friendship with God!
