Restless Catholic Young Adults

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Life can be tough - we get hurt by our family, our relationships, our circumstances. It's a world full of broken people. Jesus Christ comes to heal us - but can He heal the deep wounds that we have suffered from rejection, trauma, or the struggles and stresses of life? Yes, He can! Tune in to hear how we can encounter the healing love of Jesus to heal the wounds that life inflicts upon us.

For believers in Christ, we await a world far beyond our imagining. But many things in our lives are foretastes of Heaven, giving us a glimpse into the joy that God promises. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph and Joe discuss Heaven and how the things of this world direct us to our true home!

Catholics were delighted when the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade, ending the federal protections of abortion. All those many years of prayer, fasting, witnessing, and marching - and life wins. But this was only one victory in the fight to defend life, a fight that continues in so many ways. A moment to pause, rejoice, thank God, and then continue to pray, fast, witness, and march - until hearts are changed, until all persons see the dignity of all life from the first moment of existence until natural death, until all states have outlawed abortion. Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Paul, Joe, and Lauren discuss their reactions to the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, and how Catholics are called to continue to witness to the dignity of all life in a post-Roe nation.
