All of us want the world to see us in a certain light. Maybe it's as the jock, the intellectual, the fiery personality, the calm peacemaker. We call this "your personal brand" - it's the first impression that we try to make, and the way we want others to relate to us. How can our personal brand be shaped and influenced by our Catholic Faith, so that people see Christ in us? Tune in to hear how first impressions and our outward-face can be shaped by the Gospel!

Everyone's personality is different. Even the ancients knew this - they identified four main personality types, often called "the temperaments". How is your temperament a gift? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each temperament? And how does God use your specific temperament to draw you closer to Him and to advance His Kingdom through you? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph and the Restless crew discuss our unique personalities and how God uses each one of them to build up the Church!

For many of us young adults, we have no time to create. Whether writing or art, music or starting new ministries, our lives are often too busy to do anything but go to work, pray, eat, and sleep (and often not even that!). But we are created in the image of a God Who is a creator, Who delights in making good and beautiful things. It is important, then, for all Christians to continue to find outlets for creativity, to use the inspirations and talents that God has given us to bring beauty and goodness into the world. But how can we do that, and why should we prioritize it? Tune in to hear how your creativity can change the world - and why it is so desperately needed, both for you and for the souls around you!

St. John Bosco famously said, "Only God knows the good that can come about by reading one good Catholic book".
Today the Restless Crew discusses reading good books, the impact that it can have on your spiritual life, how to properly filter good fiction from bad fiction, and how to find the truth in various forms of art.
Remember, St. Josemaria Escriva says, "reading has made many saints"!

"Who believes in chastity anymore?" say many young adults. Indeed, this virtue of chastity is counter-cultural - and often misunderstood. Does it merely mean abstinence from sexual activity? There is a far more positive core of chastity, however, because it is the virtue that protects authentic love, which our hearts desperately desire. Hear the Restless crew discuss the nature of chastity and purity, and the tips on how to grow in this beautiful virtue of self-mastery, which makes oneself a gift to give away in love!
-
Living in society - especially as young adults - we should be concerned about our appearances. But when does it become the sin of vanity?

Tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss how good looking we are...uh, I mean, how to avoid the sin of vanity!
