Reasons You Don't Know How To Feast
In today's episode, Sam and John discuss how our lives are marked by affluence, abundance, excess, and convenience and how this presents a very unique challenge to fasting, but even more so, a challenge to feasting. In one sense, feasting has a higher place in the Church than fasting, yet we very often never discuss this. How do we feast correctly? What are the practices we need to truly experience feasting so as to live more abundantly? We unpack all of this today.🔴 Catholic Gentleman+ is Now Live - https://catholicgentlemanplus.comJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible sessions to help you strategically become a better man - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com Learn more about your ad choices.
