#750 Meet Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati: From Apathy To Action In An Upside-Down World!
Claymore: Become Who You AreShow Notes
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Something feels off right now, and it’s not just policy or elections. When the culture starts calling evil good and good evil, it’s easy to spiral into doom-scrolling, cynicism, and the quiet lie that nothing we do matters. I read a viral post that captures that dread, then I push back on the trap underneath it: outrage that never turns into action becomes apathy, and apathy is how families, churches, and entire communities slowly collapse. ...

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” October 22, the feast day of Saint John Paul II! Jack reflects of the life of Saint John Paul II who never reduced Christianity to “be nicer” or “try harder.” He preached the practical reality that an encounter with Jesus Christ restores the heart, clarifies the mind, and gives us the courage to live in a world where darkness has spread. His story addresses the questions most people carry quietly: Who am I? What is the meaning...
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” A quiet morning at home turned into a pre-dawn raid with guns drawn and a house full of kids.

Jack goes the other direction and puts a simple Christian framework on the table: picture a triangle; if the human heart, marriage and the family, form one corner of the base and with Christ and the Church as the cornerstone at the other end...then extending out from this base, political ...
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Something feels different about the stakes right now, and it’s not just gas prices or party politics. The fight underneath the headlines is spiritual, and it runs straight through the family. When faith goes lukewarm, culture doesn’t stay neutral. It gets filled by whatever is loudest, most coercive, and most willing to redefine reality. We walk through what national decline looks like when it accelerates: collapsing borders, rising disor...
Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Recorded on the feast day of Saint Therese of Lisieux. Her “Little Way” of humility, confidence, and love, a path to find life, when the world feels loud, divided, and spiritually confused. Jack reads Luke 10 and takes Jesus seriously when he sends disciples out like “lambs among wolves.” To bring love and truth, and peace, into the places we live, refusing to get sidetracked, and even learning when to step back and let your peace return to you...
