Mountains Made Low

What's Your Resolution?

We always enter the new year with a lot of ambition and can-do attitude, setting personal goals for health and wellness, financial success, improved relationships, and personal achievements.  What about setting some goals for your spiritual well-being? In this episode, Dennis and Christine provide 7 resolutions or goals that will help you improve your relationship with God and live well in the modern world.  

Coffee (& Tea) Talk 4 - Candid Conversations on Faith

Christine changes things up for our Coffee (& Tea) Talk episode, and instantly regrets it!  Find out why, as we discuss our thoughts on the death penalty, the Church's use of social media, our favorite seasons of the Church, and Christine's Catholic pet peeves.

Don't Say That!

As Christians we often say things that are well-meaning, sincere, and well-intended, but there are somethings we just shouldn't say even though our intentions are good.  In this episode, Dennis and Christine will look at three statements we should all avoid making and explain the reasons why.  They'll offer a better alternative too!

God Give Me a Sign!

As human beings we use signs to communicate to each other, and as a Church, we use signs to convey the sacred in simple and sometimes profound ways, but how do signs work with God?  Have you ever asked God for a sign?  How do you know if something is a sign from God? Join Dennis and Christine as they delve into the role and use of signs in our faith and as a means of communication from God in this week's podcast.

Confession Hangups

Catholics have a lot of hangups when it comes to going to Confession.  Negative experiences, fear, shame, indifference, all play a factor to one degree or another in how often we receive this sacrament.  How can we overcome these obstacles?  Then there are questions like, why do we even need Confession? Why do I have to confess to a priest?  Isn't he a sinner too?  This week Dennis and Christine dive headlong into the thick of it to answer these questions, but more importantly to help listeners understand what God is doing to us and for us in the incredible sacrament and how mercy and forgiveness can really transform us.

Who Am I to Judge?

We've all heard or been told that we don't have any right to judge others, but is that entirely true? What is being implied when someone says, “Who are you to judge?” and where does this idea come from. Is judging others really contrary to what the bible teaches, as some claim?  Are we being un-Christian if we judge someone?  What are we judging?  Join Christine and Dennis for an exploration into "who am I to judge" as we tackle these questions and more from a Christian perspective. 

Make the Most of Advent

In this episode, Christine and Dennis help listeners to really enter into the beauty and mystery of the Advent Season so that their hearts are truly prepared to welcome Christ not just at Christmas, but every day of their lives.  We discuss various Advent traditions that you can incorporate into our own preparation for Christmas and share some of our own personal traditions so that you can get the most out of the Advent Season!
