Summary

Our special guest this week is Ambrose Bean, none other than Danielle Bean’s own son! Ambrose, a theologian, author, and teacher, shares about a new project he has been working on called The Bethlehem Society, a group of Catholics united under the common conviction that the Church is longing for a return to Christ in modern times. They publish a digital magazine featuring articles, reflections, poetry, and other written works produced by Society members. As writers, speakers, teachers, students, public servants, tradesmen, parents, religious, and professionals of all kinds, they seek to reintroduce Christ to the world, at a time when there is “no place” for him in the inn. At the end of the show, Danielle answers an email from Diane, a woman who is having difficulty forgiving her sister-in-law after a painful experience. For more information and encouragement on this topic, check out How to Forgive When It’s Hard from our archives. Snippet From the Show “In the Church, we need to return to very simple telling of the story, and that’s what the Bethlehem Society is trying to do. We’re forging a new path, which is really the old path, to get back to the basics, get back to the fundamentals, and simply tell the story as beautifully as possible.” – Ambrose Bean For episode shownotes visit www.goodcatholic.com.

0:47.4	I'm so glad that we're able to connect right here through the podcast. Well, now that we're in mid-August,
0:53.8	we are more than halfway through the year. And so
0:56.7	it occurred to me that it's time to check in with our 23 things for 2023. Way back at the start of
1:04.5	this new year, that's what I shared. And it wasn't my idea. I was sharing an idea from Gretchen
1:09.5	Rubin, who's an author and a podcaster. I really enjoy her happier podcast. And on that show, she shared this kind of practice over the past several years of making a list at the start of your new year. Not a list necessarily of New Year's resolutions, but a list of things that you would like to do in the
1:29.5	coming year, even little kind of silly things or, you know, just kind of random things. And to
1:34.7	kind of structure it, she uses the year or so 23 things for 2023. And I shared my list at the
1:41.4	start of this year. And many of you shared yours with me. And I really thought that was a lot of fun. I am planning to do it again at the start of 24. So I have to come up with 24 things. And some of them might just carry over. I'm realizing because like I said, time for a check in. We're more than halfway through the year. It's time for a check in on your list and see how you're doing. Maybe there's some goals you set that you completely forgot about. Maybe there's something that's kind of an easy,
2:05.3	low-hanging fruit, something you can knock off your list in the next couple of months here. But if you
2:09.6	made up a list for this year, this is your little nudge to go and check it out. And that's what I did this past week. And one thing stood out to me. And it was I had set as a goal,
