0:00.0 | What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh, the podcast why I get to hear you out. |
0:03.9 | Listen to your questions, pray with them and then hopefully respond in such a way that it's helpful to you |
0:09.2 | and you walk toward eternal. |
0:12.9 | The reality is this, your life, my life, our lives are very messy and there's not always going to be |
0:18.4 | that easy, feeling blank, Catholic answer to each and every single situation that we encounter in |
0:23.4 | our life. And so the purpose of this podcast is for me to to accompany you, to accompany you in the |
0:29.6 | messiness of our lives to Jesus so that Jesus can give us His truth that will set us free to |
0:37.2 | become saints and I walk toward Him. |
0:44.5 | The way the show works is this, you send me three to five questions per episode and those |
0:49.0 | questions can range from everything to apologetics, to evangelization, catacetism, prayer, |
0:54.8 | spirituality, relationships, justice, charity, whatever. And I will try to answer those questions |
1:02.7 | in a way that is good for you. I have to let you know though, I'm not perfect, I'm broken, |
1:08.0 | I'm imperfect and I'm definitely not infallible. So there may be times that I answer your questions |
1:14.5 | and it's not good, it's not that which is best for you. If that is the case, I apologize sincerely, |
1:19.4 | I repent and you are free to reject. You are free to reject it. However, if the advice that I do |
1:25.9 | share with you, which comes from prayer and study, if it is helpful for you and it helps you do |
1:31.2 | grow in holiness in your relationship with Jesus, then please, even if it's difficult, I want to |
1:36.5 | invite you to lean in and let it stretch you so that you can grow in your capacity to be the |
1:41.6 | best version of yourself, the holiest version of yourself that you were created to be. If your |
1:45.8 | first time listening, shoot me an email with your feedback on today's episode and with new |
1:49.7 | questions for future episodes, you can also comment and critique on anything and everything that I've |
1:54.1 | said in the show. My email is askfatherjash at ascensionpress.com. That's askfrjash at ascensionpress.com. |
