Gidea, Gide and welcome to Pints with Aquinas. My name is Matt Brad, and I have a special

episode today for you. I think you're going to really enjoy it. I have written a short story,

and it involves a Christian who talks his atheist friend into coming on this big Christian conference with him.

While at the conference, the Christian ends up becoming an atheist and the atheist ends up becoming a Christian.

And then over the course of nine letters, they go back and

forth about why they have made the decisions they've made. I love Dostoevsky, and one of his

short stories is called A Novel in Nine Letters. And I just loved that title. So I stole it. There you are.

So the story is called a

shuttered universe which is a shout out to Sheldon van Ockins poem which we talk

about in the story a novel in nine letters I think you'll really enjoy it

but before we get to that I want to say thank you to our spoiler

do you want to pray more or just

pray at all? Do you find it difficult to concentrate while praying? Are you not sure you're kind of

doing it right? Hello will help you. It's a Catholic meditation app that helps you pray.

It has free content that's updated every day. The app is

really well produced. You're going to love it. But if you use that link below, it's in the show

notes, and then use Matt Frad as the promo code when you sign up, you'll get the full experience of the app for a limited time.

So please check it out.

It's a fantastic app.

As I've said in the past, it's very sophisticated and very well produced.

You can tell they put a lot of money and effort into this thing.

But at the same time, it doesn't fall into new age ways of thinking as many, if not almost all meditation apps out there do.
