Mountains Made Low

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. 

Sabbath Serenity - Keeping Holy the Lord's Day

In a world that never slows down, this episode invites listeners to rediscover the sacred rhythm of rest. Listen as we explore the meaning and beauty of the Sabbath — not as a restriction, but as a divine gift that restores peace amid the chaos of modern life. Through Scripture, reflection, and practical insight, we’ll uncover how keeping the Lord’s Day holy can transform our hearts, homes, and habits, reminding us that serenity isn’t found in escape, but in presence!

I Call You Friends

In a culture marked by isolation and loneliness, the Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. In this episode, we explore the beauty and necessity of virtuous friendship—friendships rooted in Christ that help lead us to heaven.

Inspired by the words of Jesus, "I call you friends," and the reflections of Aristotle, we reflect on how authentic friendships strengthen virtue, challenge us to grow, and remind us that we are not alone on the journey to become saints.
