Today, Dr. Pakaluk talks with Andrew Petiprin about his new book “Shock of Holiness.” This approachable and practical book is a series of articles written to show us that true heroism and holiness is found in our everyday life. From the mom taking her kids to Mass, to holy water, and everything in between, Dr. Pakaluk reminds Catholics that God’s grace and presence is imminently in our lives and can bring about an extraordinary change if we allow Him. Dr. Pakaluk calls us to find the true romanticism in our daily activities.

Fr. Gregory Pine: How the Eucharist Changes Your Identity
Monday Aug 11, 2025
Monday Aug 11, 2025
Oftentimes, we think our identity is something we create, but in today’s episode Fr. Gregory Pine shows us that our identity is found in Christ, present in the Eucharist.

Fr. Gregory Pine is a well-known priest, Dominican, philosopher, and YouTuber, and today we are so grateful to introduce his new book, “Your Eucharistic Identity.” Andrew Petiprin joins Fr. Pine to discuss what it means to find our identity in the Eucharist. They reflect on the mystery of the Eucharist and even its “weirdness” to the extent that a real substantial change is brought about without any visible change. Fr. Pine articulates a proper understanding of transubstantiation and clarifies how we find our uniqueness and belonging in the Body of Christ.
If you want to deepen your understanding and love for the Eucharist, then this is the episode for you!

It is no secret that there is a crisis of masculinity in the modern world, and this topic is talked about repeatedly by many specialists and commentators. But in today’s episode, Joseph Pearce takes a different tact because he argues that part of the crisis of masculinity can be resolved by reading good books.
Andrew Peteprin joins Joseph as they characterize the crisis of masculinity, discuss why most poets are men, and reflect on the works of two greatest male Catholic authors—J.R.R. Tolkien and G.K. Chesterton.

Tess Livingstone is the author of the definitive biography of George Cardinal Pell and recently we were blessed to sit down with her in person to discuss the life, work, and imprisonment of this influential cardinal. She details his upbringing and imprisonment as well as his work with Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope St. John Paul II. Finally, she gives some insight into the personhood of Cardinal Pell and some lesser-known stories about vocation journey and interactions with the poor. We continue to pray for the repose of the soul of Cardinal Pell and are grateful for his many years of service to the Church.
