First off, HUGE thanks to everyone who tuned into last week's solo episode and sent in those heartwarming messages. Your support means the world to me, especially since going solo isn't easy without my friend or guests around. This week, we're diving into "Handling the Hard Stuff." Life throws some real curveballs, right? From tough medical diagnoses to personal losses, how do we cope? I'll share insights inspired by a recent episode of The Chosen and some things the Lord put on my heart. Plus, exciting news! If you're heading to the Eucharistic Congress, come find us at booth 1332 from July 16-21. We'll have merch, info on our ministry, and a chance to meet you all in person. Don't miss our live podcast on Thursday with Father Malachy, chatting about the Holy Spirit and the Eucharist. Thanks for being part of this journey. Let's get into it! 🙏 📚: Bible verses for reflection Isaiah 55:8-9 Romans 8:28 1 Peter 5:7-10 #justaguyinthepew #faithjourney #eucharisticrevival #eucharisticcongress #christianliving #difficulty #suffering #thechosen #thechosenseason4 #loss #catholiccommunity #brotherhood #communitybuilding _______________________________________________________________________ ✈️ Join us for one of our 2025 pilgrimages: March 10-15: Visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico with Father Zachary, a fantastic priest and friend.
