Mardi Gras: a time for celebration, king cake, and... deep spiritual reflection? In this week's episode, Deacon Tom Cuskey takes the host's seat while our usual host, Joelle Zarnowski, switches roles as the guest! Joelle shares her firsthand experience of kicking off the Mardi Gras season in New Orleans last year - yes, there were parades, and yes, there was a lot of food. But there's more to Mardi Gras than just the party.

Join Deacon Tom and Joelle as they unpack the real meaning behind this festive season, its Christian roots, and how it leads us into the solemn but transformative season of Lent. Whether you're giving up chocolate, taking on daily prayer, or still figuring out what to do this Lent, this episode will get you ready to dive in with purpose.
