Raised CatholicGrown-Up Catholicism: Voting & Political EngagementThe Grown-Up Catholicism series continues with an episode on voting and political engagement. As in each episode in the series, this one is descriptive not prescriptive in that I'll model my own discernment on these issues with scripture, contemplation and prayer but I'll never direct your grown-up Catholic choice as that's between you and the Lord! I hope this episode is a blessing to you, thanks for giving it a listen.

The Do Gooders Podcast65: How to restore dignity through kindness with Ashlee EilandThis year, when we're processing so much with our own interests in mind—what's good, are we safe and secure, and more—if our chief interest is self-preservation, how then can we engage in holding others' interests?
