168 The Archbishop, an Awkward Comment, and What It Revealed

Sometimes one awkward sentence can reveal what's really going on in our hearts.In this episode, Kory shares an embarrassing encounter with Archbishop Hebda after being accepted into diaconate formation—a moment where nerves got the best of him and he completely put his foot in his mouth. What begins as a funny story turns into a deeper conversation about humility, imposter syndrome, and why we often use humor to deflect when life gets serious.Along the way, Kory and Chris explore the biblical wisdom of being "quick to hear, slow to speak" (James 1:19), the surprising origins of familiar sayings, and how God invites us to recognize the sacredness hidden in ordinary moments—from Sunday Mass to family life to everyday conversations.If you've ever replayed an awkward conversation in your head or wondered whether you're really worthy of what God is calling you to, this episode is for you.
