65 | Evangelization & St. Francis: ReBuilding God's Church
Saturday Oct 04, 2025
Saturday Oct 04, 2025
The brothers are celebrating their 6th year anniversary of being online. On the feast of St. Francis, the brothers sat down with Austin Habash, former Carthusan monk, current evangelist, speaker, podcast host of "Summa in a Year" and founder of Think Catholic.
In this episode the brothers connect evanglization with St. Francis' initial call to rebuild the church of God. Evangelization in the current digital world is a modern day response to Francis' call. The brothers talk about what that means and how the charism of the order can shape how it's done.

In light of the recent events, and violence that sent shockwaves around the globe, the brothers turn to the Cross as a banner that can give us a tremendous amount of hope. What does the Holy Cross teach us about suffering in our world and in our personal lives? Suffering is often misunderstood, in the franciscan tradition suffering is redemptive which means that it can be a source of goodness, triumph and transformation.
The brothers talk about their own experiences of suffering, how they handle it and some ways we can unite it to Christ on the cross.

60 | Missing Moments
Thursday Nov 21, 2024
Thursday Nov 21, 2024
Every moment is an opportunity to experience the presence of God. Every event, every encounter, every interaction can be a way for us to experience God's divine life. But what happens if I miss those moments? Will God still pour out his grace?
We have the temptation even just simple distractions that can have us 'miss the moment' and neglect being aware and present to the "sacrament of the moment," which is in fact, an opportunity to be united to the Divine Will of God.
