Summary
In today's Art of Catholic podcast, Matthew Leonard is joined by Catholic evangelist John Edwards, who shares stories and insights he's gained from guiding countless men to a deeper relationship with Christ.
But don't think for a second this is an episode only for men.
We hit topics that affect everyone like:
- Shattering the lies we tell ourselves
- Why isolation is the Devil's playground
- The most pressing problem haunting men (Listen up, ladies! You need to hear this.)
- The beautiful power of weakness
- Why community is absolutely essential for men & women
This is a must-listen episode for anyone longing for the deep joy that comes from an intimate relationship with God and the mystical body of Christ.
