A Catholic Plan to Overcome Materialism

About this episode

Jonathan shares his personal plan for overcoming materialism in a consumeristic culture, emphasizing the importance of detachment in faith.

We're taking a little time away welcoming our newest Teixeira to the world! While we're soaking up all the newborn snuggles, enjoy this episode from the vault — it's one of our favorites, and honestly, perfect for right where we are in the liturgical year. 🎧 Jonathan loves stuff. Here's his plan to shift his attention from things of this world to those of the next. We are swimming in a consumeristic culture — and it is shaping us whether we realize it or not. In this episode, Jonathan shares his personal plan for overcoming materialism, and yes, I get to hold him accountable. Detachment is a necessary part of our faith. You don't get to skip it. And this conversation is a great place to start — especially during Lent. 🎸 Music in this episode is by Dylan Gardner – ⁠check out his album Almost Real⁠ on ⁠iTunes⁠, ⁠Spotify⁠, or wherever you listen to great music.
