From St. James to the Middle East: What the Church Really Says About War
In this episode, Fr. Daniel Scheidt walks through the Church's tradition on war and peace, from St. James's explanation of the passions that drive conflict, St. Augustine's just war principles, vengeance and it's consequences in the Book of Revelation, and more. He challenges us to remember that geopolitics is not something that happens on a screen and that knowing our neighbor might be the most radical thing a Christian can do right now.

Reclaiming Time: How a Liturgical Calendar Transforms Daily Life
In this episode, Dr. Chris Stroud sits down with Fr. Daniel Scheidt, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to discuss a unique project 24 years in the making: a liturgical calendar that organizes life around the Church year rather than forcing sacred time into secular monthly boxes.
The conversation explores why modern life makes slowing down so difficult and practical ways to align our daily lives with the liturgical seasons, transforming time from something that enslaves us into a pathway for encountering Christ.
Whether you're a daily Mass-goer or someone who hasn't been to church in a while, the conversation offers a fresh perspective on how the Church's ancient wisdom about time can bring peace, purpose, and joy to your life.
