Monsignor Charles Pope helps us prepare our hearts for Good Shepherd Sunday — a time to reflect on whether we truly recognize the voice of Christ in our lives.

We also dive into urgent headlines shaping the Church today:
🔹 The seal of confession under political pressure
🔹 Early reactions to the election of Pope Leo XIV
🔹 Concerns from African-American parishes over archdiocesan restructuring

Join us for a thoughtful, timely, and hope-filled discussion on faith, leadership, and listening to the Shepherd's voice in a noisy world.

Fr. Sam Medley of SOLT is joined by his mother, Ann, for a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, and conversion. Together, they share their own "St. Monica and St. Augustine" story—how Fr. Sam, once a rebellious punk rocker, was brought back to the faith through his mother’s persistent prayers and quiet sacrifices. Even his father experienced a transformation, eventually becoming a deacon. This episode is a powerful message of hope—perfect for any parent struggling with a child who has drifted from the faith.
