-Confession “buzz” at Denver Catholic High School that developed a novel way of getting students into the convessional—or a new way to get out of Math class.

-Chris Christie flip-flops on Gay Marriage: We're already seeing misintrupretations of  Fiducia Supplicans work its way into the secular mind. How might it manifest in potential lawsuits against the Catholic Church?

-Lessons from the “fall” of Church Militant: Lies and falsehoods are being trapped and exposed as Church Militant and Michael Voris appear to be losing the final battle for survival in a defamation lawsuit. What should we learn from this epic?

Concluding with a call to guard our Catholic identity, I reflect on the sway of Catholic media personalities like Michael Voris and the importance of critical thinking in our faith journey. We cast a critical eye on who we allow to shape our beliefs, reminding listeners to seek figures who truly embody Christ's teachings. As we bid farewell to the year and look ahead, join me on a quest for understanding truth and goodness, ensuring our faith remains anchored in the heart of Jesus.

Bishop Robert Barron expresses strong disagreement with the Synod's report on development of moral teaching (and hits it out of the park!). And the Vatican issues scathing letter, and strong warnings to the German Cardinals in response to the the [mis]direction of their "Synodal Way".

I also explain why faith in the Church and faith in Jesus go hand-in-hand, and I root all of this in a lesson on the virtues of Patience and Hope. In the final segment I explain why "this is the way"

Deacon Ryan first proclaims the Gospel for the 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, from Matthew 5:1-12a.

Deacon Ryan then provides a framework for tackling some of the most challenging of the Beatitudes.  Blessed are they who mourn?  Blessed are the poor in spirit?   To grapple with these, we need to look not just to Jesus Christ, but to Christ crucified!

Nate is a fellow roadie who I toured with on Justin Timberlake, Florida Georgia Line and many other high profile one time shows. We were able to travel around the world and experience all the food, drinking and culture that so many cities offer. In this episode we explore not only a few things from our times on the road but also Nate's new life being a farmer, ok, maybe not a full on farmer but he is learning how to grow his own veggies and live off the land. If you are interested in food-scaping Nate goes into some awesome details about how to grow veggies and grow veggies that go together in a great symbiosi. Nate and I dive into when the pandemic hit what took Nate into the new world of food growing and sparked his interest in living off the land. Tennessee is prime weather to grow most all style crops!

Nate brings one of PK’s favorite beers and is so happy to have it on the show as his first beer! The two of us reminisce about PK’s love of the West Alabama Ice House bar in Houston Texas. Most of the conversation finds ways to bring that feeling home to where you are, especially for people who travel always finding your favorite home away from home. Nate describes finding the one spot in a city that you go to and let loose after a long day or long bus ride as the “mowing the lawn of being on the road”.

Nate gives a great big shout out to all the DADs! Go Dads! We talk about me leaving the road and what love to me means now. Willing the good of the other would be one way to put it and that is straight from the man Bishop Barron.

So this was the first recorded episode and being a host/interviewer was a little new to PK but all in all this is a great conversation between two long time friends who appreciate having bevvies and talking. Come enjoy this conversation that spans touring the world, mowing the grass, spiders in the house, then all the way to relationships and where they are going in life! 

To any insect fans or experts this is also a good episode for y’all. Please give us tips on how to handle Brown Recluses. Leave a comment and give us tips!! Also, natural remedies are very welcome!!

PK and BK had a couple weeks of PK-only interviews but that did not mean life was not moving full steam ahead at home, which left PK in a weird state of happiness mixed right alongside some depression and anxiety. Two things most anyone breathing can relate to. Even if you rarely deal with these things there are for sure a few topics sprinkled inside that you might be able to relate to and who knows maybe even find a new way to help battle your anxiety or depression. PK and BK have been through a lot and they touch on a few topics in their relationship from the past that for sure doesn't help with anxiety but how they deal with it now and where they go is something very special to them both. PK specifically names two individuals who saved his life when he needed them the most, Dr. Jordan Peterson and Bishop Robert Barron. We also want to stress that this is our way of dealing with our battles with depression and anxiety but if you feel like you need to talk to a professional please reach out to your local or even national hotline that deals with depression and anxiety.

There is so much to say about this story! Two episodes clearly will not exhaust the topic. In the first part, we offered what the story wasn't about. In this second part, we offer the positive side, about several readings of the story that show what it is about. 

We use the lenses of the four senses of Scripture, which we've podcasted on before (https://ouroutpost.simplecast.com/episodes/25), to approach the story. We packed a lot into this one. Sorry about that. It might be worth listening to more than once. That sounds presumptuous of me, I know, but I think I'll listen to it more than once, and I recorded it.

And as a reminder, this podcast is for Catholic disciples wrestling to be missionary-minded in their ordinary, everyday lives. We're recording this two-parter because, 1. as missionary disciples, we will likely come across people with very different readings on this story, and should be able to talk to them intelligibly, and 2. there's a lot in this for us to take to prayer, which is great, because all apostolic work is an overflow of our interior lives.

We also plug our marriage workshop (twice, if I recall rightly), which is going on on a Facebook group near you (https://www.facebook.com/groups/gruberworkshop/ ). Feel free to ask to join (it's pitched for married couples, but the underlying principles are still good for single people and any team-related activities).

We left some things unsaid. One that I feel especially bad about I'll just tell you here in the description: we talk about Cain and Abel in the episode, and I throw out the parallel language from Genesis 3:16 and Genesis 4:7, which I think is fascinating but was losing Crystal on. I meant to go on and talk about how one way to read Cain and Abel is that after Cain's initial sacrifice was not acceptable, his solution was to sacrifice Abel-- this isn't to defend Cain, but really to make it worse, since it only served to distance him from God even more. It's like when my two-year-old is doing something he oughtn't, and we tell him no, so he goes over and does something even worse (noteably, that's how we went from milk-spilling to maple-syrup-spilling a few days ago...). The offering of the acceptable one, though, is a precursor to the story of Abraham and Isaac, as well as a precursor to Christ. 

The other thing I left out was an allusion to Gene Wolfe's duology, The Wizard/Knight. In it, a knight loves a fae queen so much, that he would literally do anything to be with her. However, in order for her to be willing to be with him, he has to refrain from anything that would dishonor himself. So there's both a reckless abandonment to be with the one he loves, tempered by the need to still be fit to be in her presence. It's a fascinating story told over two volumes (soon to be released in one volume), and I think gets at the heart of our desire to be with what we hold as the ultimate good, and the limits of that desire such that we act in such a way that is consistent with being with that ultimate good. I think it's an interesting light to read Abraham in, and am sad that we didn't get to it in the podcast.

As we're figuring out technology, I'd be open to doing more on our Facebook group. We could even occasionally do Facebook lives to address questions or elaborate on topics. Check out the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/awordfromouroutpost/

The story of the sacrifice of Isaac, found in Genesis 22, has been appropriated by theologians, philosophers, atheists, agnostics, and now even by Joseph and Crystal. Hear a bit of our take on the story, starting with a bare bones sketch and why it's such a surprising story (not for the reasons people usually act surprised by it). We then go on to add more flesh to the story, as well as more context, to see that it's actually an incredibly dense story packed with details that should encourage us to keep wrestling with it. We hope to return to this story again, which is why it's a part 1. 

We reference the author Gene Wolfe, and Neil Gaimain's guide to reading Gene Wolfe (it'll make more sense in the context of the podcast, for those of you who like to read the description before listening): https://www.sfsite.com/fsf/2007/gwng0704.htm

We also reference a few other of our prior podcasts, namely "There's Something About Eve // Episode  30" and "I Know There is More to This Story // Episode 16". These episodes can be found on our podcast, as episodes 30 and 16, respectively. And at the end, we reference one of our yet-to-be-recorded-podcasts, which may either be episode 57 or episode [later], where we go even deeper into this story.
