Prayer, Work, Play and Rest: A Practical Guide to Temperance with Chris Magruder - 09/17/2026
Julie Nelson turns the microphone on her co-host as Chris Magruder steps into the guest chair to unpack temperance, the cardinal virtue most Catholics misunderstand. Chris explains why temperance is not about giving everything up but about balance and self-mastery — over the tongue, the calendar, the phone, food, spending, exercise and emotions — and shares honest stories of the moments God used to teach her. Listeners get a practical temperance inventory, a priorities framework, an emotional-regulation exercise for children, and simple prayers to stay centered in God's will.
