    I’m trying to turn my otherwise wasted downtime (like driving home from work) into helping me on my spiritual journey. I discovered this podcast and it’s great. My drive is about an hour which gives me time to listen to an entire episode.I’m a cradle catholic who was poorly catechized. But this podcast is giving me so many gems.
