GOD, WHY DO BAD PEOPLE SEEM TO PROSPER?
🎙️ THE QUESTIONS WE ARE AFRAID TO ASK GOD
Episode 6 | The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns
Have you ever wondered why people who lie, cheat, manipulate, and hurt others sometimes seem to have everything, while honest, hardworking, faithful people struggle just to get by?
Why does doing the right thing sometimes feel like it puts us at a disadvantage? And if God truly cares about justice, why does He allow dishonesty and wrongdoing to go unpunished?
These are questions that have troubled believers for thousands of years.
In this sixth episode of The Questions We Are Afraid to Ask God, we explore what Scripture teaches us about wealth, injustice, envy, and the difference between worldly success and a life that truly matters.
We'll discover why financial success isn't necessarily a sign of God's approval, why comparing our lives to others can steal our peace, and why choosing to do what is right is never wasted in God's eyes.
❤️ The world measures success by what we accumulate. God measures our lives by who we become.
Join me for this thought-provoking 7–8-minute reflection as we discover that a successful life isn't necessarily one filled with wealth, power, or recognition, but one filled with love, integrity, and faithfulness to God.

What If I Don't Believe What the Church Teaches
🙏 GOD, WHAT IF I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING THE CHURCH TEACHES?
🎙️ THE QUESTIONS WE ARE AFRAID TO ASK GOD
Episode 5 | The Catholic Journey with Deacon Pat Kearns
Have you ever found yourself questioning something the Catholic Church teaches? Maybe you've struggled with a particular doctrine, disagreed with a Church teaching, or wondered whether having doubts makes you a bad Catholic.
You're certainly not alone.
But here's an important question: Are we genuinely searching for God's truth, or are we sometimes looking for a faith that agrees with what we already believe?
In this fifth episode of The Questions We Are Afraid to Ask God, we explore the difference between questioning and rejecting Church teachings, why Jesus gave His Church the authority to teach, and how we can navigate doubts without abandoning our faith.
We'll also discuss what happens when the Church itself has disappointed or hurt us, and why the failures of individuals should never overshadow the truth of Jesus Christ.
❤️ Faith doesn't mean we understand everything. It means we're willing to keep following Christ as He leads us toward the truth.
Join me for this thought-provoking 7–8-minute reflection as we discover that sincere questions can lead us toward a deeper, more mature Catholic faith.

Somebody Pop This Thing
🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 👻😂
Okay, friends… this is DEFINITELY not one of my typical posts from The Catholic Journey!
I'm traveling right now and don't have access to my recording studio, so I thought I'd have a little fun in the spirit of Halloween!
I have to warn you… this one is a little ridiculous, probably a bit cringeworthy, and definitely not my usual inspirational message! 😂
But sometimes we just need to laugh at ourselves, enjoy a little silliness, and remember that life doesn't always have to be so serious.
So, in honor of Halloween, I present to you…
🎶 "SOMEBODY POP THIS THING!" 🎶
Yes, it's every bit as ridiculous as it sounds! 🤣
Don't worry, we'll get back to our regular programming soon. But for today, enjoy a good laugh at my expense!
🎃 Happy Halloween, everyone! God bless, and remember… even a Catholic deacon needs to have a little fun once in a while!
