Restless Catholic Young Adults

Restless 133 - Twins

Did you know that THREE of our cast members (Diane, Carmelena, and Matt) are twins? How crazy - and how cool! Tune in to hear Matt and Diane speak about the joys and challenges (and graces!) of being twins - along with Matt's sister Lauren, and Diane's brother Mark!

Restless 132 - Leisure

As we enter Memorial Day Weekend - the unofficial beginning of summer - we consider the joys of leisure. What makes leisure different than wasting time, or mere frivolity? Why is leisure necessary for a happy - and holy! - life? Tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss how they enjoy leisure, and how every good Catholic also must balance their work with times of recreation!

Restless 131 - Long Live the King!

The recent coronation of King Charles of England has got us in a royal mood. His coronation gave us a unique insight into the role of royalty and the need for rituals in our life. How does this parlay into our relationship with Christ the King? Do we as Americans have trouble seeing Jesus as a King, since we have no monarchy? What does it mean to live under the Kingship of Christ? How do we live out our role as priest, prophet, and king? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Diane, and Lauren discuss all things royal!

Restless 130 - Artificial Intelligence and Our Catholic Faith

The news these days are filled with advances in technology. Artificial Intelligence has dominated the headlines, but how does that play upon our Catholic Faith? Is it possible for AI to be truly "human"? What are the advantages and dangers of AI? Tune in to hear the convergence of technology and our Catholic faith!

Restless 129 - Atheism and the Existence of God

Many vocal atheists have made headway in our modern culture, claiming that there is no evidence for God's existence. Is our belief in God just a fairy-tale, or is there any evidence that God actually exists? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Diane discuss how we can be confident that God really exists and is intimately involved in the universe!

Restless 128 - Personal Relationship with Jesus

Many times, our Protestant friends speak of their "personal relationship with Jesus"...but that's the heart of Catholicism, too! We can invite Christ into our hearts, share our lives with Him, and make Him our Lord and Savior. But how do we go about doing this? It's not as mysterious as it might seem! Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Lauren, and Paul speak about discipleship and their personal relationships with the Lord of all creation!

Restless 127 - The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

The Catholic Church in the United States is in the midst of a "Eucharistic Revival" - a three-year campaign to strengthen our faith in Christ's Eucharistic Presence. But despite the many Eucharistic miracles in history and the rich theological teaching on the Eucharist, it can be difficult to believe that He is truly there. As young adults living in a rationalistic age, what can strengthen our faith in Christ's Real Presence - and why was it necessary for Him to give Himself to us as food? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Diane discuss Christ's Real Presence, the greatest Gift that Jesus Christ could have left us!

Restless 126 - Sins of the Tongue

The gift of speaking is given to us to praise God and to build up our brothers and sisters. But so often we use it to tear them down, tell lies, and say uncouth and uncharitable things. How can we overcome these sins of the tongue? Tune in to hear how Fr. Joseph, Paul, and Lauren seek to make sure their tongue is under control of the Holy Spirit!

Restless 125 - Why Do Catholics Do That, Part 3 - Mass Mayhem!

Even to many lifelong Catholics, the Mass remains a mystery. Why do we respond "And with your spirit?" Why do we bow during the Creed? How do we engage the Mass and not be bored? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph and the Restless Crew to unveil the mystery of the Mass!

Restless 124 - Theology of the Body (Interview with Christopher West)

Now more than ever, our world needs the life-giving, love-affirming insights of Pope John Paul II's "Theology of the Body". And who better to talk about the ToB than one of our Church's foremost expert on the thought of JPII, Christopher West! Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph's interview of Christopher West as they discuss the urgent need for the good news about how our bodies reflect a divine plan: the connection between our bodies and the Bible, our bodies and the Sacraments, and why the world desperately longs for the authentic human love made possible through chastity and self-gift!
