Spiritual Direction, Church Scandals, and Religion at Work

Dave “The Kangaroo” VanVickle and I are bouncing around (see what I did there?) answering your questions about spiritual direction, Church scandals, and bringing Jesus into secular work environments, like the medical field and academia.

Snippet from the Show

“Every Catholic needs spiritual direction, but you don’t necessarily need a regular spiritual director.”
