What's going on and welcome to ask Father Josh the podcast where I get to hear you out

I want to encourage you to spend that time with Jesus and prayer.

And I assure you that we have so many really, really cool, awesome podcasts that are coming out

in the next couple of weeks where we're going to address questions.

We've got hundreds of questions that have been coming in that are really, really good.

Addressing everything from again distractions and prayer to um,

um, institution of racism to the war on drugs to um, what else?
