It's the last episode of the year as Christmas and the new year is approaching! On this very special episode, we get into the essence of Christmas and why what Catholics believe about God can be seen as scandalous. We look at the symbolism behind the nativity scene and the profound theology of God becoming man. This episode is packed with reflections on vulnerability, spiritual friendships, and the transformative power of Christ’s love. So sit back, pour some chai, bring out the kuleche (Christmas cookies) and baklava, and enjoy the conversation! Featuring: Fr. Augustine Joseph, Abbot Ankido Sipo, Fr. Fadi Auro, Br.
