Episode 73 - St. Joseph (Part 1)

This week kicks off a series on St. Joseph. Brett shares his experience of doing the consecration to St. Joseph and Jake shares how St. Joseph was probably not an old man like we’ve often been told. They have a discussion on the implications of St. Joseph being a young man and also take lessons from him being the patron saint of workers. How does our work help to orient us towards the Lord? Tune in to learn about masculinity by focusing on one of the greatest men of all time: St. Joseph.

Key Points
