Finding Intimacy, Forgiveness, & Mercy in a Corn Field with Fr. Ben Cameron
Today, John & Isaac interview Fr. Ben Cameron of the Fathers of Mercy in Bowling Green, KY. Fr. Cameron's experience in this incredible religious order is profound and sheds lights on God's greatest attribute: Divine Mercy. What is compassion? How do we show true patience, love, and empathy to others without comprising the truth or reality? It begins by first receiving love and mercy from God for our own sins, struggles, sufferings--so that we can experience transformation, healing, and deliverance, and this will naturally effect the lives of everyone around us. Fr. Cameron's perspective is profound and worth a listen. Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam---All for the greater Glory of God.

The Prisoner Pope & Napoleon Bonaparte: Part 2 of the History of the Archdiocese of Louisville
Today, Erik Huff and John Sohl discuss the second part of the rousing history of the Archdiocese of Louisville, this time focusing on the cultural context and historical turmoil facing the universal Church during the years Pope Pius VII established the Diocese of Bardstown with Bishop Flaget. Just by knowing this history and understanding the past, we too can find freedom from the shackles that have imprisoned us in a desert of emptiness, confusion, or isolation. Pope Pius VII, who was imprisoned by none other than Napoleon Bonaparte himself, played a key role in giving us hope in the midst of a deep imprisonment and a great many strongholds that have held us captive for so many decades. Pope Pius VII, pray for us!

His insights, wisdom, and simple advice penetrate through the complexities of our human experiences in profound ways.

How did Lent develop? What was the Liturgy like years ago? & other Miscellaneous Musings
Today, Isaac & Erik discuss the origin of Lent and the ancient liturgies of yesterday. If all we think about concerning Lent is what we're giving up, we might miss out on the richer meaning behind the history of Lent. Why do we make sacrifices? Why is it 40 days? Has it always been like this? Understanding the basics of Lent is an important conversation beyond what we can begin to discuss in this short episode. Regardless, if we can enter into a more intentional time of growing in love and commitment to God--as it relates to self-denial, sacrifice, and service--we will also experience the resurrection. Easter will be here soon enough! Until then, buckle down and enter the desert. Erik Huff hosts this episode with his co-host Isaac Fox. John Sohl was not able to join today.

Identity, Purpose, & Lifestyle: Theology of the Body & the Book of Genesis
Today, Isaac & John continue their conversation about "What is Man?" through the lens of Theology of the Body. Starting with Genesis and the Garden of Eden is the perfect place to begin this journey and story, but it's not just about religious or theological concepts. This is about who we are, where we come from, and where we are heading. How do men and women relate to each other? How can we under sexuality, gender, marriage, and family life? How can we truly be happy and live out the perfect plan for total fulfillment? Theology of the Body truly is a theological Niagara Falls because it requires us to study the deepest meaning of our identity, our purpose, and our lifestyle when it comes to being fully alive and fully human.

On today's special episode of Spirit & Spire, John Sohl & Isaac Fox begin a series of conversations surrounding the critical questions concerning the human person and our quest for fulfillment.
