What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh, the podcast where I get to listen to your questions,

pray with whatever is that you send me and hopefully respond in a way that is helpful for you

and you're a walk toward becoming a saint rooted in the heart of our Savior Jesus Christ.

Here's how the show goes. You send me three to five questions per episode and after I spend

an adequate amount of time praying with them, I try to respond in a way that is helpful for you.

If we're honest with ourselves, our lives are just really messy sometimes and there's not always

going to be that easy feeling the blame, go to Catholic answer. Sometimes it's just really great.

We don't know what to do. So the point of this podcast is for me to try to walk with you and

accompany you in the midst of the mess of your life and mine and speak to you from the heart of

the church and from a relationship that flows from our Savior Jesus Christ. I would do my best to

help you. I cannot always promise you that my advice will be helpful. Sometimes I might be wrong

because guess what? I am not perfect. I'm broken. I'm not infallible. And so there's going to be

times where I don't give you the best advice. If that's the case, I want to give you the freedom right

now to just straight up reject whatever it is that I'm saying that is not helpful for you to become

but if it is helpful, then I'm going to invite you to share that wisdom with other people so it

could potentially be helpful for them and they're walk toward eternity as well. We're going to

address everything on this podcast from topics of morality to apologetics, church teaching,

relationship advice, spirituality, prayer advice and pretty much everything under the sun. If you

are a first time listener, shoot me an email, hit me up with your feedback from today's episode
