Soil and Soul
Humans are body and soul. Our lives are fed by what we plant and tend in the soil, as well as what we plant and tend in our souls. We depend upon the crops we plant and the livestock we raise on the land. Just as importantly, if not more, we depend upon the force of our souls to drive and direct us during the time we have on earth. Catholic Passage is launching a new free podcast show for those who want to invest in yields that count most. Five days a week during planting and harvest seasons, Soil and Soul looks to help you sow seeds and reap a golden harvest.
