Mountains Made Low

What Is Truth?

In a world of shifting opinions and endless noise, what does it mean to seek truth? In this episode, we explore the Catholic understanding of truth — not as a concept to debate, but as a Person to encounter, reflecting on how truth reveals reality as God sees it, and how living in that truth frees us from illusion and fear.

Holiness in the Digital Age

In an age of constant notifications, endless scrolling, and carefully curated online identities, what does it mean to pursue holiness? How can we hear the voice of God when our attention is constantly divided by the demands of a digital world?

In this episode of Mountains Made Low, we explore the challenges and opportunities of seeking sanctity in a culture shaped by technology. From the relentless pace of modern life to the addictive pull of stimulation and the pressure to present a perfected version of ourselves online, we examine how today's digital habits can quietly undermine our relationship with God, others, and even our own souls.

Lessons From Leo

This week, Dennis and Christine talk about four lessons of Pope Leo XIV from the first year of his papacy: Role of the Laity, Peace, Unity, and Care for the Poor.

Another Coffee Talk

This week, Christine and a rather agitated Dennis return to the coffee talk format you love! Up for discussion: Should Catholic Churches have coffee shops? Who should be on a Mt. Rushmore of saints? What is a positive way to invite fallen away Catholics back to Mass? 

All that and more!

Divine Mercy

In this episode of Mountains Made Low, we explore the heart of Divine Mercy — the boundless love of Christ revealed through His compassion for sinners and His invitation to trust completely in His grace. We also share how our participation in this powerful devotion through God's grace allows us to actively participate in the salvation of souls.

Space: The Final Frontier

In this episode, we reflect on the historic Artemis II mission, humanity’s return to the Moon, and what it reveals about the grandeur of creation. The vastness of space, the beauty of the Earth from afar, and the precision of the cosmos all echo the glory of God, the Creator of all things. Join us as we connect faith and discovery, and rediscover awe in the heavens that “declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19).  

Spiritual Fatherhood

Every man is called to reflect the Fatherhood of God. And in a world confused about masculinity, leadership, and holiness, this truth must be reclaimed. Your children don’t need a perfect father. Your parish doesn’t need a flawless leader. Your friends don’t need a superhero. They need a man who is present; a man of prayer and humility who keeps getting up for love of them.
