Today’s guest is Catholic theologian and author of Witness to Hope: The Biography of John Paul II, George Weigel. Brett & George discuss George’s thoughts and critiques on the Synod of Synodality & his writing process of his over 30 books. They also dive into the importance of leaders to be precise in the words they use, Catholic institutions being missionaries of the Church, the presence of “Catholic lite” (a term he coined in his book “Evangelical Catholic”) in the Church today, and a young Karol Wojtyla’s role in Vatican II. It's an intriguing and well-rounded conversation with one of the most highly respected Catholics of our time.

In our first interview, Brett sits down with Carey Nieuwhof who has been a pastor, teacher, & leadership guru for many years. They discuss God’s calling to change careers & fighting against simply going through the motions.
They also discuss what the Church can learn from her own response to the pandemic in retrospect. We may have adapted to meet the new challenges, but did we really innovate? This includes a discussion on the politicization of the Church.
To close the conversation, they discuss burnout; when the functions of life continue but the joy of life is gone. Carey shares his personal story of dealing with extreme burnout, how he recovered from it & how you can avoid it.
