What's up and welcome to Ask Father Josh the Podcast by getting to listen to your questions, pray with them and hopefully respond in such a way that it's helpful for you.

And you walk toward eternity and you walk toward becoming the particular saint that God our Father desires for you and for all of us to be.

Here's to the show goes, you hit me up with 3 to 5 questions per episode, dealing with anything and everything from morality to Catholic spirituality,

to relationship advice, evangelization, dogma, catechesis, the list goes on and on and on. I will then sit with your questions, I will pray with them and I will hopefully respond in such a way that it's helpful for you to grow in your relationship with the Lord.

However, I gotta give it this claimer, I'm not perfect. Therefore every now and then my advice might not actually be good for you if there's the case then I want to give you the freedom to reject.

Whatever it is that I say that does not help you to grow and hold on this. However, if my advice is helpful then I want to give you the encouragement to lean into Jesus Christ so that if it's helpful but difficult,

God could give you the grace that you need to fulfill the demands of discipleship.

On today's show we're going to discuss a topic that has been sent to me a question that has been sent to me since the very beginning of this podcast.

Like literally since the day the podcast came out I've gotten this question and I've not answered it but today is finally the day we're going to talk about yoga.

We're also going to talk about the devil and should we pray for him? Right, like we all mess up, we all make mistakes.

We pray for each other to have conversions, can the devil have a conversion and we're going to discuss free will and whether or not Mary who was full of grace, she was full of that grace, that grace, no devil that she have free will like the rest of us.

And so those are our topics and so if you want to comment on those topics for today or critique those topics for today or hit me up with new questions for future episodes then shoot me an email at askfatherjash at ascensionpress.com.
