Summary
This is the year of St. Joseph so let's talk about what we can learn from this man who knew Jesus and Mary more intimately than any other person who has ever lived. There is so much we can learn from him! Because there is really no definitive teaching on St. Joseph, we can extrapolate from what we know about Jewish culture at the time and what we read in scripture to imagine what he must have been like. We do know that he can teach us about being a spouse, a parent, a follower of Christ. He can show us how to love Jesus and Mary better and, as patron of the family, he is a powerful intercessor for us! Listen in to this insightful conversation about the man who can serve as a model to us all - St. Joseph.

| 0:10.8 | Hosted by our parents, Mike Hernan and Alicia Hornin. |
| 0:15.8 | They're pretty awesome, but they're not experts. |
| 0:18.6 | Because family life is really messy. |
| 0:23.9 | Hello, messy families. |
| 0:25.9 | Thanks for joining us here today. |

| 0:35.5 | Yes, I agree. |
| 0:36.6 | We had special, special guests, Pat and |
| 0:40.4 | Laura Lanchone. Pat is a business expert and guru, author of... Mike has been a fan for quite some time. |
| 0:50.2 | Yes, he's amazing. He's written five disfunctions of a team and the advantage and tons of |
| 0:55.9 | tons of books. But he also wrote the book, The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family. |
| 1:01.5 | That we included when we did our board meeting. They gave us copies to give out to our families. |
| 1:07.0 | And we did that and it was a really, really helpful tool. So to have them on him and his |
| 1:12.2 | wife, which was really, really fun and just to be able to kind of relate with them and just hear |
| 1:18.0 | their own stories of their own family life and just how they, you know, develop the ideas for |
| 1:22.6 | the book and just how really, I think just them communicating their love for family life, you know, |
| 1:29.0 | and their desire to help people was just so wonderful. It's just kindred spirits, you know, |
| 1:33.8 | like. And he is hysterical. And Laura was so delightful. Like I just, I, so this is a teaser |
