About A Word from Our Outpost: Faithful Formation for Catholic Missionary Disciples
A Catholic show on marriage, relationships, and formation for the lay apostolate. Each week, Joseph Gruber, joined at times by his wife Crystal or a guest, takes a passage of Scripture, a saint, or a good book and turns it into something practical for living as a missionary disciple: at home, in your marriage, in your friendships and dating life, and in your parish and workplace. Joseph and Crystal spent over a decade as Catholic missionaries with FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students, serving at MIT, UW Madison, Carnegie Mellon, Western Washington University, and a parish in Jackson, Michigan. Today they're the co-founders of Our Outpost, a Catholic marriage ministry that equips men and women for marriage and mission through formation and accompaniment. Married?

Published 4 Nov 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] But there's a dialogue called the Gorgias where Socrates is talking about the question, is it better to... commit an injustice or to have an injustice committed against you. And he was maintaining it's better to have an injustice committed against you because if you commit an injustice, you're doing something to your very core of your being. And so he had this sense that, like the angels, we can suffer in ways that are not just physical. So we live in this weird in-between between the animal and the angelic. We are not merely animals. We're not pure spirit. And the danger is going one way or the other. […]
