In this episode, Jayce and James sit down to talk about people coming into the Church, suffering, disc golf, sports, community, friendship, Pokémon prayer, a desire for beauty and more. Casual.

They don’t ignore the hard parts. Alongside conversion stories, they wrestle with how pain can become the place where mercy breaks through and community becomes essential. If you’re praying for someone to return to faith, we offer grounded counsel: be bold, invite again, offer to go with them, stay patient, and let God do what only God can do.

Who is one person you could invite and walk with this week?

What would change if we built a rule of life that actually fit our days and led us to Jesus? Join Jayce and James as they discuss what this could look like.

We unpack “rule” as a trellis, not a cage—simple anchors that help prayer, work, family, and rest breathe. New Year energy is helpful, but the real move is choosing one priority and letting everything else take its proper place. That’s where fasting and asceticism come in. From Exodus 90’s cold showers and media fasts to the Daniel Fast’s clarity, we share the honest early struggle—headaches, hunger, fidgety evenings—and the surprising fruits: easier yeses to our kids, a renewed desire for the nightly examen, and a heart that listens without forcing.

Along the way, Jeff Cavins’ challenge hits home: if you have “priorities,” you don’t have a priority. Spouses and children matter immensely, yet the center cannot hold unless we order our lives to the will of the Lord. We explore how daily Mass becomes a fixed star, why saying no creates real freedom, and how fasting sharpens spiritual hearing.

In this episode, Jayce and James sat down with Father Will Banowsky, judicial vicar and pastor, for a candid look at annulments, prenuptial investigations, and the habits that help couples keep vows. We explore cultural myths about marriage, unpack a Scripture mistranslation, and share concrete ways parishes can form and protect marriages.

• what a judicial vicar does and why it matters
• how annulments and appeals actually work
• why prenuptial investigations safeguard consent
• the role of parish marriage files and documentation
• a paperwork mix‑up that teaches big lessons
• praying for young couples facing cultural pressure
• indissolubility of marriage versus easy exit mindsets
• the impact of mistranslating biblical texts on divorce
• mentor couples as the backbone of marriage prep
• learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable
• “nothing worth having comes easy” applied to vocation
