What Jayber Crow Can Teach Us About the Priesthood and Celibacy

The World is on Fire. Here’s What You Can Do to Help.

Even a cursory glance at news headlines is enough to plunge one into anxiety. Mass-killings. Inflamed, hate-filled rhetoric. Mutual mockery. Revelings in perversion. Moral debauchery.

There is so...

With the rise of Headspace, Calm, and all of the other mindfulness meditation apps, those of us coming from a Christian background can have a lot of very good questions: are these methods okay to use?
