I can’t wait for you guys to meet my guest this week! Fr. Augustine Wetta is a great friend and his joy and love for the Lord are just contagious. He is a Benedictine monk, lover of obscure saints, and author of Pray. Think. Act. Make Better Decisions with the Desert Fathers. He’s also living with early onset parkenson’s…which makes his contageous joy that much more inspiring.

Today, we talk about some of Fr. Augustine’s favorite saints (did you know there’s a Patron saint of “unattractive people”?), his love of the Desert Fathers, who nicknamed themselves the Athletae Dei, “the Athletes of God,” how to make and stick with big life decisions, and how to stay the course in your vocation when life gets tough.

We had so much fun in our conversation, and we hope you have just as much fun watching!

I am SO excited to share this episode with your guys today! We’re bringing back Fr. Robert Spitzer, a Catholic priest, scientist and author to talk about the soul. How do we know it exists? Is it just some concept Christianity made up? How do we know the soul exists?

Fr. Robert and I dig into how Plato and Aristotle and even cultures BEFORE the ancient Greeks knew that a soul exists, why monkeys and other animals don’t have souls, and how the fascinating data on near-death experiences ties in perfectly with Catholic theology.

This is such an interesting episode and it’s always wonderful talking to Fr. Robert. Learn more about his work at the Magis Center: www.magiscenter.com/
