| 10/6/26 |  How to Make a Moral Decision | Dr. Cary Dabney | What do you say when someone asks, "Who are you to judge me?" Dr. Cary Dabney, a professor of theology at Walsh University, returns to the show to unpack the simple framework he uses to teach moral theology to students who are devout, on the fence, or completely unchurched. It's the same framework that can help you talk with your kids, your grandkids, or a friend about hard moral choices without sounding judgmental or getting shut down. In this episode: - The four kinds of students in his classroom - The one question he asks before mentioning a single theologian - The three fonts of choice - What Robin Hood can teach us about good intentions - What relativism does to our ability to talk to each other - Why Dr. Cary calls Jesus "the pattern of righteousness" Dr. Cary also shares three things to check before any decision, and why humility and the option of reconciliation are always on the table when we get it wrong. Highlights 04:44 – The question that opens every moral theology class 06:16 – The three fonts of choice 07:32 – Robin Hood and the problem with good intentions 12:10 – Circumstances: same act, different gravity 13:47 – The object of the act 17:55 – Starting with what everyone shares: reason 19:26 – Taking the emotion out of hard conversations 32:12 – Silos, echo chambers, and Benedict XVI on relativism 34:38 – Three things to check before any choice 36:44 – Humility and the door to reconciliation 37:37 – Jesus, "the pattern of righteousness" .......

| 9/22/26 |  Grace Guaranteed: The Sacraments Explained | Fr. Chris Alar | One of the coolest things about being Catholic? You don't have to feel it to know you're getting it. In this episode, Chris sits down with Fr. Chris Alar — author of Understanding the Sacraments: God's Grace Guaranteed — to unpack why the sacraments are so much more than symbols, and why so many Catholics never learned what they actually do. Fr. Chris explains why infant baptism isn't about "letting a kid choose later," why Confirmation is the underrated "activation code" for the Holy Spirit's gifts, what it really takes for a confession to be valid, and why the Eucharist is literally the body and blood of Christ — not a metaphor. Along the way, Chris and Fr. Chris talk about the difference between true contrition and mere remorse, why evangelization has to come before catechesis, and Fr. Chris's answer to "which sacrament is your favorite to administer?" Highlights [00:01:09] – Why Fr. Chris Alar wrote a book on the sacraments [00:02:27] – The "wait till 18 to get baptized" argument — debunked [00:10:00] – Confirmation: the "activation code" for the Holy Spirit [00:16:39] – Heaven as a wedding feast — and why you need an invitation [00:18:41] – The three conditions for a valid confession [00:23:36] – Contrition vs. remorse: the difference between Peter and Judas [00:47:26] – Fr. Chris Alar's favorite sacrament to administer .......
