Introduction and the Nature of Mystery
from Mind and Mystery · host Matt Hughes
Welcome to the first episode of Mind and Mystery. I’m Matt Hughes — a lifelong Catholic, the Director of Parish School of Religion at my home parish, a high school teacher and football coach, and a student of theology driven by a deep love for the truths of the faith.This opening episode begins with a brief introduction — who I am, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect from the weeks ahead. Then we dive into our first topic: the nature of mystery.What do we mean when we call something a “mystery” in Catholic theology? Does it mean it’s irrational, or unknowable? Or is mystery something richer, more inviting — a truth we can enter into and never exhaust?Join me as we explore what it means to encounter the divine through mind and mystery.
