According to legend, when GK Chesterton was asked "What's wrong with the world today?" he responded with a pithy "I am." In that Chestertonian spirit, Fr. John Parks, Vicar for Evangelization, and Mr. Stephen L. Greene, Director of Kino Catechetical Institute, bring you "What's Wrong With the World," a new video podcast from the Diocese of Phoenix.

Imagine you are a teen mom trying to make it work with the father of your baby. As your family grows you are devastated to wake up to find your second baby died in his sleep. The grief from that loss threatens to tear your family apart -- your husband struggles with substance abuse, and your kids get into trouble with the law. You feel like you've hit rock bottom, so you turn to the Lord, and God says, "Don't worry about them. I want you to come to me."
Danielle's friend Priscilla Navarro has a hard story, but remember this: God is there in the middle of the chaos. He has a plan for you, for your life, for the lives of your loved ones. Even if He asks you to walk through incredibly difficult times; trust Him. He is walking with you. He is giving you the grace you need to keep going, and He wants to be a part of the mess!

As young, single women, Danielle Burr and Miranda Maciel are often wondering what it is the men they meet are thinking. Today, their eyes are opened by Mike Phelan - a husband and father whose ministry is centered around the Sacrament of Marriage.

Mike gives the girls, and us, tangible recommendations to fight for holy marriages. We're not saying tears were shed, but we're also not saying they weren't.
