Restless Catholic Young Adults

Restless 106 - Joe’s Journey to Seminary

Vocation stories are often powerful testimonies. It is amazing how hearing the way the Lord worked in someone else's life might help you understand His work in yours. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Lauren, and Joe discuss Joe's journey to seminary! 

Restless 105 - Spiritual Progress

We pray, we confess, we strive for virtue...but are we making any progress in becoming a saint? What does spiritual progress look like? How can we persevere despite difficulties? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Matt, and Diane talk about how we can keep taking small steps, every day, towards the Lord!

Restless 104 - Art

"Beauty will save the world" said Dostoevsky. In so many ways, art is necessary to reveal the beauty of God to us. What are some ways that art has been a conduit of God's glory? And how do we properly appreciate the beauty so that our souls may be uplifted to God? Join Fr. Joseph, Paul, Matt, and Angelica as they discuss how art has impacted their lives!

Restless 103 - Handing on the Faith, Part 2

Continuing our conversation from last week, we dive into the best ways to evangelize and catechize the next generation. Young people are hungry for happiness and hungry for God - how can we present the Faith in an appealing, relatable, solid way? Join Fr. Joseph, Carmelena, Joe, and Paul B. as we continue to discuss the importance of passing on the Faith!

Restless 102 - Handing on the Faith, Part 1

All Catholics have a responsibility to pass on the faith to the next generation. Whether as parents or grandparents, catechists or religion teachers, or just a faithful churchgoer, it is all of our duty to pray for and encourage young people to encounter the Lord and become fervent in their Catholicism. But all too often, it seems like a losing battle in today's world - yet we know that this world desires the happiness that can only come from Christ! Hear Fr. Joseph, Joe, Carmelena, and Paul B. as they discuss the joys and challenges, the successes and struggles, of trying to hand on the Faith to the next generation!

Restless 101 - How to Pray and Love the Rosary

Today is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, in the month dedicated to the Rosary! For many people, the Rosary is a drudgery that we pray out of obligation - but it doesn't have to be that way! We can learn to love and benefit from this ancient devotion. Its peace can quiet our modern frenetic minds; the meditations can provide a real encounter with "Christ through the eyes of Mary". Tune in to hear how Fr. Joseph, Paul, Lauren, and Diane have fallen in love with the Rosary!

Restless 100 - What’s In A Name?

Woo-hoo! It's time to celebrate our 100th episode! We're bringing it back to the beginning by talking about how we picked the name "Restless" - and what our own names mean. God calls us by name - and so names are very significant. They are our identity, our connection to our family. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Paul, Lauren, and Joe discuss the joys and travails of our show - and the names behind it!

Restless 99 - Loving Yourself

Jesus tells us to love others as we love ourselves...but how do we love ourselves? Many people struggle with it - is it prideful to enjoy our accomplishments? How do we not live in shame because of our weaknesses? How do we not regret the past, or fear the future? Tune in to Fr. Joseph, Matt, Angelica, and Paul as they discuss how as Christians we are supposed to love ourselves - by seeing ourselves through God's eyes!

Restless 98 - Traditional Latin Mass, Part 2

Continuing our conversation from last week, tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss the beauty of the traditional liturgy, how it can help to improve and inform the Novus Ordo Mass, and how it can help us grow in holiness!

Restless 97 - The Traditional Latin Mass, Part 1

The Traditional Latin Mass is a perennial source of conversation in the Catholic world. Some love it, others find it difficult to appreciate. It is a valuable part of our tradition, but in some circles it is not without controversy. Hear Fr. Joseph, Diane, Joe, and Lauren discuss their experience with and perspectives on the Traditional Latin Mass!
