I'm back, for better or for worse. This episode, Josh discusses the overinflated sense of self-importance many young people have and why it destroys them, his spiritual dryness and frustration with his current state in life, as well as getting outside and resetting your brain and taking joy in work to achieve sanctification through ordinary means.

In this incredibly important episode of the Twelve:Eleven podcast, inspired by Dr. Scott Hahn's The Fourth Cup, Josh lays out a threefold approach to the Catholic Doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The point of this program is not conversion, but merely to accurately articulate the church's teaching and how it finds its roots in history, scripture, and Judaism.

Josh opens the episode by launching an alarm clock across the room because he doesn't have time for Pride. He then rambles on and on about how much pride sucks and why we need to humble ourselves.

Self explanatory. Just listen.  Justin Martyr on the Eucharist https://www.wordonfire.org/resources/blog/st-justin-martyr-on-the-eucharist-and-the-ancient-mass/18543/ The Mass in the Book of Revelation https://www.agapebiblestudy.com/charts/Liturgy%20of%20the%20Mass%20in%20the%20Book%20of%20Revelation.htm Also, I totally messed up the Fatima Prayer. It is "Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, LEAD ALL SOULS TO HEAVEN, especially those in most need of thy mercy."

Josh breaks down his faith journey, his reversion to Christianity from agnosticism/atheism, and details some of the struggles he experienced along the way.

Josh makes a less-than-eloquent explanation of his theodicy citing the great Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine of Hippo by way of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the inimitable Peter Kreeft. Back on the podcast grind because he's bored to tears, Josh takes a more Christian direction to the show, departing from the usual discipline.  Questions, comments, concerns, corrections, critiques can be emailed to [email protected]  Follow the show on Twitter! @1211podcast
