This week Father John Bartunek joins me to discuss how to incorporate scripture into a daily prayer routine. We look at how to be effective pray-ers and why the scriptures are so important to us particularly in today's climate. We also take a look at Father's new four-volume edition of my personal favorite  The Better Part: A Christ-Centered Resource for Personal Prayer.  Get your own copy  here .

Tune in as we discuss ways to overcome depression and anxiety and realize a brighter tomorrow. Get your  copy of her book  here .  

Evangelizing the faith can be a tricky thing. Many Catholics are simply not comfortable with spreading the faith. Thankfully we have some folks who ARE comfortable and are willing to us how. This week Brandon Vogt joins me to discuss ways we can answer the tough questions we may encounter about atheism, the gospel, same-sex marriage, transgenderism and more. Check out Brandon's latest book What to Say and How to Say it: Discuss Your Catholic Faith with Clarity and Confidence here .
