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

listen to your questions, pray with them, and then respond in a way that hopefully would

help you become a saint in your walk toward eternity. The reality is this is your life and my life,

our lives are very messy and whenever we are confronted with the messiness of our lives,

sometimes we don't know what to do, we don't know what God's will for me in this particular

situation. So the purpose of this show is for me to help you to accompany you and make

the best decisions that you can make as you continue your walk toward becoming a saint. Every

episode you can hit me up with three to five questions and those questions can range from

morality to spirituality, prayer life relationships, justice, discernment, apologetics,

catacetics, evangelization, everything and anything under the sun we can talk about.

I can't promise you that my responses that my answers to your questions are going to always be

best. I desire that they will be really good and helpful, but at the same time I acknowledge that

I am broken and I am imperfect and I am I can be wrong. And so if my advice is not in union with

the Lord and His church, then I want to give you the freedom to straight up reject it,

project it, be free to say nope that's not going to help you become a saint. But if it is indeed

in union with Jesus and His church, then I want to invite you to lean into it and allow it to

stretch your heart so that you could be able to be open enough to receive the graces that God

has in store for you and your walk with him. If you are a first time listener, I want to invite you

to hit me up with your questions, with your comments, with your critiques, at ask Father Josh

at ascensionpress.com. And you can also rate us and review us on iTunes. That way more people can

find out about the show. So if it's helpful for you, then potentially it could be helpful for them

as well. Today's show we're going to talk about a number of different things, but all very important.
