Listening With the Ear of the Heart with John Gaffney - 05/13/2026

John Gaffney, Director of Evangelization and Catechesis for the Diocese of Des Moines, joins Bo Bonner for his monthly segment on spiritual growth and discipleship. Together they explore how God speaks through Scripture, prayer, silence, relationships, and the sacraments, while discussing practical ways Catholics can cultivate a deeper attentiveness to the Lord. The conversation touches on Lectio Divina, the importance of silence in a distracted culture, and how holy desires can draw people closer to Christ. John also shares insight into how the sacraments become living encounters with God that transform the Christian life.
