2023-03-1039 minabout four o'clockHyper Focused DiscernmentIs this a sign I should join seminary? Is this a sign I should stay where I am? What about this sign? Is everything a sign!? There is a danger in what we might call 'hyper-focused discernment.' Discernment is not meant to be a detective's game. This week the priests discuss discerning from a calm and trusting heart.
2023-03-0627 minabout four o'clockGuest: Fr. Brian NelsonAnother priest of the chancery stops by today. Fr. Brian Nelson is pastor of St. Mark Parish, Judicial Vicar and Chancellor. It took a lot of arm twisting to get him to share his vocaiton story. But in the end we were victorious.

2023-01-0230 minabout four o'clockSeason 1 FinaleThis could also be called the Christmas episode. No Christmas music played, but better: lectio divina with the Christmas Proclamation.
2022-12-2631 minabout four o'clockMary and DiscernmentIn Advent season it is natural to turn some of our attention to the Blessed Mother. So too with discernment. The three priests explore the role Mary has played in their discernment and priestly lives.
2022-12-1930 minabout four o'clockThe Intimacy of PriesthoodMany people do not think of the priesthood as a life of intimacy. The three priests would say otherwise. And they do. In this episode, they discuss their experiences of intimacy with God, the challenges, the satisfaction, the personal and how it has changed over the years.
2022-12-1231 minabout four o'clockPeace and DiscernmentIs there a difference between the World's peace and God's peace? Unfortunately, the two can often be confused in discernment. It is not always easy to untangle where this peace is coming from. In this episode, the three priest try to give some clarity to what type of peace we are looking for.
2022-12-0528 minabout four o'clockBuilding a Relationship with GodWe are going to the mailbag. A listener writes: 'Please go over ways to come to know and love God, to actually form a deep and meaningful relationship with Him. I feel I only know about God.' Plus a heated debate over Christmas music.
2022-11-2832 minabout four o'clockObedienceHoly Obedience is a revered subject among the saints, though decidedly unpopular in our current culture. The three priests discuss where they have felt the discomfort of obedience while also recognizing the gift it has been in their life. They also discuss what obedience really looks like for a man in discernment.
2022-11-2130 minabout four o'clockThe Response of ParentsA man does not enter seminary in a vacuum. His decision is sure to elicit a response from family, especially parents. Is there a right way to respond? Many parents have questions, concerns and may even feel guilty about how they feel when their sons tell them they are entering seminary. This week the priests discuss what they have seen and their own parents' response to when they told them they were entering seminary.
2022-11-1431 minabout four o'clockCalled and UnwillingA listener asks: what if I am certain God is calling me, but I don't want to go?
2022-11-0731 minabout four o'clockOdilo's Bar and GrillWe have never before named an episode after a topic in the banter portion of the show. However, in this case, Fr. Chad nearly fell out of his chair with the absurdity of the suggestion. If he disappears from the podcast momentarily, it is only because he was trying to catch his breath. The real subject of this episode is the mutual discernment between and man and the Church on whether he enters seminary or not. That means sometimes, a man is not accepted into seminary. Give it a listen.
2022-10-3132 minabout four o'clockHoly AmbitionSpiritually wanting the ball. This week the three priests chat about their childhood pastors: woodworking, basketball and mud pits. They also look at the desire within to want to be in difficult spots: to spiritually want the ball when it counts.
2022-10-2431 minabout four o'clockMass Burn OutWe go back to the mailbag this week to answer a listener's question about how, while saying Mass everyday, we avoid falling into 'burn out' with the Mass. The priests discuss how we catch ourselves from just going through the motions. Related, we discuss the goods of the annual Clergy Conference.
2022-10-1731 minabout four o'clockJohn 1: 35-42The three priests are back in the regular studio. This week they reflect on the passage that gave the podcast its name and all its vocational implications.
2022-10-1034 minabout four o'clockA Day in the Life of Bishop KemmeWe have looked at what a day in the life of seminary looks like. Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of Bishop Kemme looks like? One of the seminarians did and he requested that be our topic for this episode. Thankfully, Bishop Kemme was willing to answer that question for all of us.
2022-10-0334 minabout four o'clockBishop Returns! How Seminary Has Changed Over the YearsBishop returns to the podcast to discuss jobs we had as seminarians and how seminary has changed over the years. Spoiler: Bishop started seminary before any of the three priests were born.
2022-09-2636 minabout four o'clockA Willingness to SacrificeIsn't stepping into seminary enought of a sacrifice? The three priests look at how a willingness to sacrifice is necessary to keep discerning once in seminary. Often times the sacrifices will come as surprises, or may be harder than we expect. However, they are good and necessary if we are to say yes to the Lord.
2022-09-1930 minabout four o'clockA Day in the Life of SeminaryWe are back to our normally recorded episodes. This week the priests walk through some common details of a typical day in seminary.

2022-08-2928 minabout four o'clock"Live" Part 1This episode was recorded "live" at the Midwest Catholic Family Conference. It actually was a lot of fun and drew a nice crowd, though it may not be our best recording. Many guests with lots of good things to say.
2022-08-2230 minabout four o'clockThe Rich Young ManThis week the three priests try some Lectio Divina with Matthew 19:16-22, the story of the Rich Young Man. Enjoy.
2022-08-1533 minabout four o'clockReasons to Stay in SeminaryThe three priests have spoken often of their difficulties in seminary, which led one listener to ask, 'Why did you stay in?' As the new school year begins to start, the priests look back at their reasons for staying the course. Plus, they teach you some hip new slang to take back to school with you. Say less. (Am I using that right?)
2022-08-0837 minabout four o'clockThe Abuse Scandal and DiscernmentA more somber episode. The reality of the abuse scandal cannot, nor should it be ignored, when discussing the possibility of discerning the priesthood. In this week's edition, the three priests talk about how it affected their discernment, their time in seminary and how they choose to live their priesthood.
2022-08-0135 minabout four o'clockFinding EnthusiasmWhat are you enthusiastic about? Not just what do you want to do, but what gives you life, animates your interrior, causes your heart to surge? Being able to answer that, can be a way to help you discern your vocation. Also, did you know Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati was a fan of the 4th of July? Who knew? Clearly, Fr. Chad did not.
2022-07-2530 minabout four o'clockPriests with Different GiftsA listener writes: "Diocesan priests all live so differently from one another! They seem to all have very different spiritualities, different gifts and different talents which seem to shape the focus of their pastoral ministry. In what ways can these different gifts/talents be lived out in diocesan priesthood and in what ways have these differences affected the focus of your individual lives in the priesthood?" In this episode the priests attempt to answer this question while discussing the many different gifts and unique personalities of their brother priests.
2022-07-1833 minabout four o'clockService as Way of DiscernmentA call to the priesthood or religious life is a call to serve others. One of the ways we can tune ourselves to that discernment is getting out of our own head and taking concrete actions to volunteer and serve--even if it is just pulling weeds at your local college catholic campus center.
2022-07-1131 minabout four o'clockSanctifying the MundaneSummer is here. Time for ice-cream, saints and sanctifying the ordinary parts of life. The time for growing in holiness is not in the past or in the future, but right here in the moment. In this episode the three priests discuss discernment as it relates to the holiness of everyday life and what that really looks like.
2022-07-0432 minabout four o'clockFr. Chad's Vocation StoryThe final installment in our hosts sharing their vocation stories. This one includes bad hair, bad poetry, bad life decisions and a rickshaw. God's grace overcomes it all. This is how a priest gets made.
2022-06-2732 minabout four o'clockBootleg Edition: Hearing ConfessionsWhat is it like to operate as an alter Christus, another Christ, in the confessional? This was another espisode recorded early on as a practice episode, simply the priests talking about their experiences in the confessional. However, we felt it was a good enough conversation, that it merited being shared. We hope you enjoy.
2022-06-2029 minabout four o'clockDating and DiscernmentLooking for juicy stories of the priests dating lives before seminary? If so...you're going to be disappointed. This week Fr. Garett, Fr. Drew and Fr. Chad discuss the connections between dating and discernment, the positive and the negative and their own personal experiences.
2022-06-1336 minabout four o'clockFr. StuThe three priests watch Mark Wahlberg's latest movie Fr. Stu and offer what they liked and disliked about the movie and specifically how it approached discernment. Spolier alert, there are spoilers. All over. You've been warned.
2022-06-0631 minabout four o'clockSpiritual DesolationLast week the three priests discussed the joys of spiritual consolation. This week, they take a look at the other side of the coin, the difficulties and the importance of spiritual desolation. This is an area that trips up many discerners in their spiritual journey. In this episode learn how to understand it and how to pass through it.
2022-05-3031 minabout four o'clockSpiritual ConsolationNot all prayer leads to a surging of the heart. But what do we do when it does? Where do we go from there? This week the three priests discuss the importance and purpose of consolation in prayer.
2022-05-2329 minabout four o'clockThe Most Important ThingOkay, the title is a little misleading. A more accurate title would be 'one of the most important things after establishing a regular sacramental life.' But obviously that would make for a poor title. Today the priests discuss consistency in prayer. Also two corrections: St. John Vianney died in 1859 and the last Calvin and Hobbes appeared in newspapers in 1995, not 1994 (although the month is correct).
2022-05-1629 minabout four o'clockSilenceMost things in the natural world grow in silence. A vocation is no different. If we are to hear God speaking to us, we must make sure we are quieting our hearts to listen. This week the priests talk about the importance of silence in discernment.
2022-05-0927 minabout four o'clockLonelinessMany people think of the priesthood as a lonely life. It is one of the more commonly expressed fears of young men discerning--that I will be lonely. The three priests discuss their experience of loneliness and the priesthood.
2022-05-0231 minabout four o'clockFr. Drew's Vocation StoryThe title is self-explanatory. This episode is about Fr. Drew's vocation story. It includes meat washing, KU, Totus Tuus and sleeping in adoration while one of your best friends has a life changing experience with God. This is how a priest gets made.
2022-04-2531 minabout four o'clockWhat If I Choose the Wrong Vocation?For some people, the act of discerning can be an experience of deep anxiety. Underneath this stress is a fear that they might choose the wrong vocation. Then what? In today's podcast, the priests tackle this question question head on. What if I choose the wrong vocation?
2022-04-1830 minabout four o'clockThe Untainted Desire of YouthHow old is a person when the idea of priesthood first enters their thought? For many priests, this happens at a very young age. This week the priests talk about when the notion of priesthood first entered their thinking. In addition, they discuss how parents and grandparents can help foster vocations.
2022-04-1132 minabout four o'clockLooking for SignsThe Lord is certainly capable of making His will known through signs. But does He typically do that when it comes to a vocation? Whereas it is not unheard of, neither is it likely. The three priests discuss the role of signs in a vocation as well as the dangers of looking for them before making a decision.
2022-04-0424 minabout four o'clockBootleg Edition: Fr. KapaunThis was originally recorded as a practice episode, never meant to see the light of day. However, as the three priests delved into how impactful the funeral rites of Fr. Emil Kapaun were, they decided the value of this conversation outweighed their shortcomes of their fledgling recording abilities. They hope you agree.
2022-03-2827 minabout four o'clockAm I Holy Enough?Spoiler alert: No, you are not holy enough. But is that even a helpful question? The three priests talk about the dangers of that question and how it can positively and negatively affect discernment. Editor's Note: Fr. Chad makes reference to St. Francis Xavier when he meant St. Francis de Sales. He would like it known that commonly in day to day life he calls people he has known for many years by the wrong name. So this is par for the course.
2022-01-3128 minabout four o'clockGod Desires Your GoodFathers Chad, Garett and Drew talk about this fundamental truth. Without it, discernment will be a trial filled with fear.
