Restless 198 - What's Your Personal Brand?
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.

Joseph and the Restless crew di
Restless 195 - Creativity!
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 outlet
Restless 194 - Reading Can Make You A Saint!

Remember, St. Josemaria Escriva says, "reading has made many saints"!
Restless 193 - Chastity
"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 pur
Restless 192 - Vanity of Vanities!
Living in society - especially as young adults - we should be concerned about our appearances. But when does it become the sin of vanity?

Restless 185 - The Problem of Evil
Why do bad things happen to good people? This perennial question has been pondered by philosophers and saints, ordinary folks and artists, for centuries. It still makes people pause - why does God allow evil? Is He powerless? Or is it possible for him to bring great good out of the suffering of this world? Our Catholic Faith shines light on this great question of evil in the world - and its redemp
Restless 184 - Authority

Restless 178 - What Is The Church? Part 1
Many people speak about "the Church" - but what, exactly, is the Church? Is it the priests, the people, the Bride of Christ, an administrative entity?

Restless 177 - The Love of God

And what does it mean to love Him in return? Tune in to hear the Restless crew discuss the love of God - the very heart of our faith!
Restless 176 - Martyrdom
From the beginning, the Church has always held up martyrs as the epitome of the Christian life. After all, Jesus said that "greater love has no man" than to lay down his life. Even an early Church writer said that "the blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians". To this day, martyrdom still occurs in many places in the world. Who are some of the martyrs who have made an impact on us? Is martyrdom
Restless 175 - The Lessons of St. Therese

Tune in to Restless to hear Fr. Joseph and Diane speak about this beloved saint and the lessons she teaches us for our everyday lives!
Restless 174 - Where's Your Kolkata?
Mother Teresa once said, "You can find Kolkata everywhere, if only you have the eyes to look." In other words, we don't need to travel to far-off lands to find the poor, or to find where we are meant to serve...as Christians, service is as close as our kitchen or our front door. Where's YOUR Kolkata, where you are called to serve the poor - either those who lack material goods, or those with the d
Restless 173 - Overcoming Mediocrity
As we are halfway through Lent, the temptation is to grow slack. Pray less; indulge a bit more; cut corners. We may make heroic resolutions for holiness, but find ourselves trapped in mediocrity! How do we know if we are being lukewarm in our spiritual lives, and if so, how do we get out of that rut? Tune in to hear Fr. Joseph, Diane, and Lauren discuss tips to overcome mediocrity in our quest for
Restless 172 - Adversity Makes the Man
During Lent, we often choose to do difficult things - give up a beloved food, deny ourselves a pleasure, pray when it is challenging. Adversity - both the difficult things we choose, and that which God sends us - makes us who we are, if we are willing to learn the lessons that challenges want to teach us. There is no holiness without adversity; no growth without challenges; no Resurrection without

Joseph, Paul, and Lauren discuss tips and ways to overcome our natural dislike of certain people, so that we might love with true Christian charity, as God loves us all!
Restless 170 -I've Got Good News and Bad News
The news can seem kinda depressing. War, terror, the collapse of Western civilization...all in a day's headlines. How tuned-in should Christians be to current events? Where should they get their news sources? How can we keep joy and hope when the news around us seems depressing? And why is the "Good News" of the Gospel not as fascinating as today's headlines? Tune in for all the Restless (discussi
Restless 169 - Life in the Northeast
In the midst of a bleak and cold winter, one might question why we'd choose to live in the Northeast!

Tune in to hear the
Restless 168 - Meeting Them Where They're At - But Where Are They?

Restless 161 - True Freedom
Jesus Christ came to set us free - but from what? Isn't it more freeing to do whatever we want, rather than submit to rules?
