• Episode 20: The Heart of Worship is Sacrifice
    Jun 6 2025
    In today’s episode I revisit the topic of the Eucharist. Members of my own family have shown a disinterest in going to mass at times, saying they feel God’s presence more when hunting or fishing or when they attend other churches worship services.

    I want to explain how worship is not based on feelings, it’s based on relations. How is God calling us to worship and what does that look like from a biblical and Catholic viewpoint?
