Have you ever wondered why our Saturday evening Masses count for Sundays? Or why we can go to the Easter Vigil and not have to go again on Easter Sunday morning? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they discuss their recent Easter Vigil experience, the ancient meaning of the vigil Mass and how we can learn a lot about how holy Mother Church calls us to live our everyday lives as lives of anticipation.
The Breaking Of The Bread
Most of us have heard the biblical story of the two disciples who meet Jesus along the road to Emmaus. Perhaps we’ve heard the story so many times that we fail to pay attention to all the details. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they move line through line through the story, and offer some insights about truly knowing Jesus through the breaking of the Bread.
Baptism By Mud
Looking for a great spiritual experience this Summer for your kids? What about a great outdoor experience? What if you could have BOTH?

Humility
We all remember the song, “O Lord, it’s hard to be humble…when you’re perfect in every way!” It’s funny to sing about, but humility is, unfortunately, a little too rare these days. Living a true life of humility is challenging. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the challenges to humility, and offer their top ten suggestions for helping you work on your own personal humility.
The Protoevangelium
Do you know where the Gospels are found in the Bible? If you said the New Testament you’d be right…mostly. Did you know that the very FIRST Gospel was delivered to us well before the New Testament was ever written? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they harken all the way back to the Garden of Eden and reflect upon the First Gospel, the Protoevangelium.
The Virtue Of Listening
Do you want to solve all the world’s problems? (Well, at least the BIG ones?) Perhaps we should start by “listening” to all the various points of view out there. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the virtuous gift of listening and how it could literally change the world as we know it.
So Many Deacons
Have you ever wondered about deacons in the Catholic Church? What is their role? Where did they come from? Why are there so many? Most folks haven’t stopped to think about the true function, purpose and theological significance of the Permanent Deacon. Could God have an incredibly important plan for the deacons of His Church? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they take on the topic of why there are so many deacons…and why there are many more coming!
Church Rules
Many non-Catholics (as well as many Catholics) ask the question, “Why does the Church have sooooo many rules?” Don’t do this! You can’t have that! Refrain from the other thing! There do seem to be a lot of rules. Didn’t Jesus come to liberate and free us from bondage and oppression? Why so many rules! Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner booth as they tackle the tough topic of rules, laws, prohibitions and mandates in the life of the Church.
Life Is A Miracle
Where am I going? How did I get here? We ask ourselves these questions so often. Usually, in hindsight, we can see that we’ve been on a journey and that God has been actively involved in guiding, protecting and caring for us as we amble our way toward him. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they welcome Renee Hendrix, a NICU nurse and a former Baptist, to discuss her amazing journey with God.
Into The Desert
Is Lent just a liturgical season of the Church that you just “endure?” Has it lost it’s meaning for you? Do you want to change that? Do you want to make Lent really matter? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss how we can discover how to get more out of Lent by looking closer at how Jesus prepared for his ow temptation in the desert by the devil.
