What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh, the podcast where I hear you out.

I listen to your hearts, pray with your stories, and try to respond in such a way that it's

helpful for you and your family and friends and you walk toward Eternity.

Here's how the show goes.

We address the messiness of life.

We recognize that life isn't always really clean, that sometimes our families are messy,

and there's not always going to be that easy front of blank.

Go to Catholic, answer to our particular situations.

So the purpose of the show is for me to try to accompany you in the mission of the mess

and find Jesus so that Jesus can help us discern how we can best become saints and respond

to life's difficulties.

Your questions can range from anything and everything from Catholic morality, church teachings,

apologetics, spirituality, the prayer, lives that we seek to strive to fulfill, to be

intentional with Jesus, and everything else.

I will attempt to answer about three or five questions per episode and here's a disclaimer

though I'm not perfect.

I make mistakes every now and then.

I try to speak from the heart of church and from my relationship with Christ, but every

now and then I'm not going to be able to exhaust the answer to the question.

So I might say something more or less than I should.

So if that ever happens, I sincerely apologize.

I'll be able to clear that up in future episodes.
