Steve shares some overlooked insights from Pope Benedict XVI that he discovered when researching for a series on our companion show, Luke21 Radio. The shows he references in today’s episode are Luke21 Radio shows 264 and 265. The full series on Tychonius is 264-267.

Thank you for listening to Faith & Family. It’s because of you listening and sharing this show, along with donations from generous people all over the world, that we’re able to continue broadcasting St. John Paul II’s message from 1991 – “The future of the world passes through the family.” 

Today, we introduce a new series that will only air occasionally. Steve talks about several current events in our Church and culture, offering sound and biblical perspective for how we can help the situation(s).
