Restless Catholic Young Adults

Restless 36 - Doubts and Difficulties

Have you ever struggled to believe in God or in your Catholic Faith? You're not alone - almost everyone goes through a period of doubts and difficulties in their faith. What should we do when we are wrestling with God or with one of His teachings? Hear how Fr. Joseph, Lauren, Diane, and Javier grapple with the challenges of keeping the faith in our modern world which is so full of doubts and struggles!

Restless 35 - Ghosted and Dumped

"Breaking up is hard to do...", or so the song goes. Sometimes in our relationships, either dating or friendships, we need to step away and end the relationship. How do we do that as a Catholic - truly loving the other person while letting them down easy? Tune in to Fr. Joseph, Carmelena, and Lauren as we discuss the Christian way of breaking up - and how many people do it badly!

Restless 34 - Dealing With Stress

All of us face stress on a daily basis: stress at work, in our family and our relationships, in traffic and in the grocery store. How can we deal with stress in a healthy way, with the light of our faith guiding us? Hear about how Fr. Joseph, Lauren, and Diane deal with stress, trusting in Christ every step of the way!

Restless 33 - Sin & Reconciliation, Part 2

All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God, says St. Paul. In our own lives - and in our world at-large - sin is a big part of our life. But Christ came to take away our sin, and to reconcile us to God. Tune in to our Restless crew to see how they continue to wrestle with sin in their own lives, and how Jesus and His grace is winning the victory in them!

Restless 32 - Sin, Part 1

Our world denies the reality of sin - although we see its effects everywhere. Sin harms our relationships with God and others, makes us less like Christ, and obstructs our true goal, Heaven. Why is sin so prevalent, and why do we not recognize it in our own lives? The good news is that Jesus came to take away our sins - if only we acknowledge and repent of them! Join Fr. Joseph, Lauren, Diane, and Javier as we discuss the reality of sin - and the good news that we can be forgiven.

Restless 31 - Dive Into Your Parish!

Your local parish church is where our Catholic Faith is usually lived out! But young adults are notoriously missing from most of our parishes - even though we can give a lot of our love, our witness, and our faith to our local church! Join Fr. Joseph, Paul, Javier, and Lauren as we talk about our local parishes and how we young adults can get more involved!

Restless 30 - Five Love Languages

We give and receive love in so many ways - sending someone a card, holding their hand, making food for them, praising and encouraging them. But not all acts of love are equal, and people respond to them differently! Tune in to learn about the Five Love Languages: how people receive and give love in different ways - and how God gives His love to us in a variety of ways! Fr. Joseph, Javier, Lauren, and Paul explore how the Five Love Languages help us to understand how better to love others and how we ourselves receive the love that others want to give!

Restless 29 - Saints

As Catholics, we belong to a family that spans the ages and the globe - all the way to Heaven! We can learn so much from the saints who have gone before us, as we rely on their intercession and inspiration. Listen to Fr. Joseph, Lauren, Carmelena, and Paul as we discuss our favorite saints and how we too can become saints!

Restless 28 -Overcoming Laziness

All of us (especially Millennials!) wrestle with laziness and procrastination. It's just so easy to put things off! But laziness can have seriously negative consequences in our lives. Thankfully the virtue of diligence can help us overcome that vice! Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Lauren, Carmelina, and Paul and how their experiences can help you overcome the vice of laziness!

Restless 27 - Can Catholics Use Birth Control?

This week we tackle a thorny, perennially-controversial issue: Catholics and birth control. The Church teaches against it, but many Catholics are for it. What does the Church really teach? Is it possible to live married love without it? And why is this critical to our happiness? Join Fr. Joseph, Lauren, Diane, and special guest Mary Kulhanek as we dive fearlessly into the topic of Catholics and birth control!
