Our culture has lied to us about dating. That’s no secret. During today’s episode, Marisol and Jimmy seek to reverse the lies we are told about love and focus on the important questions when discerning marriage. 

Fr. Ryan and Jimmy start by reading some hot takes from the saints about beards. They then launch into a beautiful and rich conversation about stability and the importance of it in all of our lives.

Join Jimmy and Dr. Hanning for this conversion about the power of music! Dr. Hanning gives his top music recommendations for the year and they share about the role music plays in both reflecting and transcending reality.
