I am launching a podcast that serves primarily as a stream-of-consciousness reflection, undertaken as an act of penance. I intend to upload episodes several times per week, documenting my personal journey of return to the Catholic Church.
It is my hope that someone may listen to these recordings and find inspiration to embark upon their own spiritual journey.
