Saved at Denny's + The Part-time Friar
Faith Full Catholic Podcast
Episode 1 of the Faith Full podcast brings the story of a late-night Denny's encounter bringing together blackjack and a random theology exchange. We share what we believe about God and about Christianity, glancing over ideas like Sola fide and Once Saved, Always Saved. By the end of the exchange, I realize that a large part of the restaurant has been listening to our exchange, and appreciated the honesty and respect shown. PLUS the story of Switzerland's short-term friar who agree to give up modern life to find something more enriching. "When I am outside I see a lot of people who is a little bit unhappy," Brother Fridolin says seriously, but with compassion. "And I am thinking, people must thinking about why we are unhappy, and what can we do against it. Not everybody can go to the monastery, that is also clear, but this could be a possibility to give to your life a new change." Visit the episode page for pictures from outside the monastery

'The best antidotes to falsehoods are not strategies, but people: people who are not greedy but ready to listen, people who make the effort to engage in sincere dialogue so that the truth can emerge; people who are attracted by goodness and take responsibility for how they use language..'
