Mountains Made Low

Would You Rather? Edition

It's the one year anniversary of the podcast! To celebrate, Dennis and Christine offer a unique Coffee and Tea Talk edition of Mountains Made Low and play a rather cantankerous game of Would You Rather? 

Would you rather eat manna for 40 years in the desert or be struck dumb for 9 months?

Would you rather scrub floors with Therese of Lisieux or feed the homeless in Calcutta with Mother Teresa? 

Enjoy these answers and more! 

You Are a Masterpiece!

If we could only see ourselves as God sees us, it would be a huge game-changer! In this episode, Dennis and Christine dive into Ephesians 2:10 to help listeners see themselves as masterpieces of God's creation and understand it's implications.

What Were You Made For?

This week, Dennis and Christine dive into why God made YOU! Were we made for pleasure? Power? Recognition? Something more?? Find out how God made us for happiness and what that means for our relationship with him this side of heaven. And yes, Christine is acutely aware that the title of this episode ends in a preposition. Her mother would NOT be happy.

Why Be Catholic?

This week's episode is an enthusiastic conversation on why Catholicism is unlike any other religious tradition in the world. Dennis and Christine talk about how we are imprinted with the Divine Image everytime we receive the Eucharist and how any conversation on the Catholic Church has to begin and end with the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist--Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. 

I Need a Miracle!

Have you ever received a miracle?  Chances are you have, but all too often we fail to recognize those moments when God is breaking into our day to remind us of his presence and his love.  In this episode we help listeners understand that the miraculous is far more than wondrous events that defy scientific explanation.  God works miracles in our lives all the time!

Understanding Annulments

Join Christine and Dennis for this episode as they help listeners understand what annulments are an are not, why they are necessary, and how they can bring healing and consolation to those who are divorced.

Relics

This week, Dennis and Christine discuss the Catholic veneration of relics. What constitutes a relic in the first place? Are there different "classes" of relics? Among many other topics of conversation, like Stanley Cup trophies and curio cabinets, the important distinction is made as to why remnants of saints are able to be spread throughout the world, but doesn't justify humanity keeping their loved ones from the sacred burial rites of the Catholic tradition (hence, the curio cabinet conversation).

Does God Exist? Prove It!

Have you ever had someone tell you unequivocally that God doesn't exist and then go on to use Science and Reason to prove their point?  Perhaps you have questioned God's existence at one point or another?  In this episode, Christine and Dennis set faith and revelation aside and demonstrate how can we know, through reason alone, that God really exists?  Well break down the philosophical proofs for the existence of God as presented by Thomas Aquinas in a way that will enable listeners to have a rational conversation with someone who disbelieves in or questions God's existence.
