About this episode

Fr. Bruce Riebe and Fr. Fabian discuss the vocation of married priests in the Byzantine Catholic Church and the connection between fatherhood and fearless faith.

On this Father's Day weekend, Fr. Bruce Riebe and Fr. Fabian explore the unique vocation of married priests in the Byzantine Catholic Church, examining how they balance family life with priestly duties. The hosts reflect on the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel from Matthew 10, where Jesus calls his disciples to fearless faith. Drawing on the spirit of "Be Not Afraid," they connect godly courage to the role of fathers — both spiritual and biological — and lift up St. Joseph as the model for all fathers.
