Salt, Light, and The City
by Enzo Marcella
SLC is a Catholic Christian Based podcast that speaks to the youth of the Christian faith in hopes of refocusing our attention to what matters most: God and our souls. Our generation was born into uncharted territory, and we're going to dive deep into what is known in order to hopefully journey together in the way Christ meant it to be. We aren't claiming to be theologians or the new Augustine and Aquinas (though one of us is studying to be a theologian!), we are simply sharing our experience with the truth of God's love in hopes show you all the proof of a loving, eternal, all-knowing God.
