Welcome to another episode of the Recovering Catholic Podcast! In this month’s episode I sat down with two former high school literature teachers to talk about how stories can liberate us from black-and-white ways of thinking and put us in vital contact with the providence, love, and mercy of God and back in fruitful relationship with one another. This one’s a must-listen.
Please let me know what you thought of this conversation in the comments!
Note: We had a bit of technical difficulty with the video recording this time around so I’ve just uploaded the audio.
