  <itunes:subtitle>Chris shares about how his big trip to Rome didn't quite go as planned. He and his daughter went for the canonization of Bl. Carlo Acutis but with the Pope's passing, that was cancelled. Instead, they were able to attend the Papal Funeral and so much more in their time at the base camp of our Church. </itunes:subtitle>

Richaél Lucero, host of the Clumsy Theosis Podcast, joins the show to explain why she is clumsy and what or who a theosis is.

  <description>Cohost Shaun McAfee was our live correspondent from Rome at the canonization of five new saints this week! He shares about the new saints and the experience of being there. Taylor just shares how the Pope is now a football fan and won him money.
Richaél Lucero, host of the Clumsy Theosis Podcast, joins the show to explain why she is clumsy and what or who a theosis is. But mostly her and Taylor just team up to make fun of Shaun. (ClumsyTheosis.net)
In the final segment, Jake Stanley of Man Fully Alive Ministries joins the show to defend his nefarious cohost and share the impact reading Scripture daily has had on his life. 
These are two of the most relaxed interviews we've ever done and felt like we were all just sitting around a fire drinking. And now that I'm done posting this, I'm going to have a drink now. Enjoy!
