*The Scripture Sessions is now a subset of The Catholic Experience Podcast*
This special live edition of The Scripture Sessions looks at St. Paul’s letter to Timothy with fresh eyes — and a bit of grit. I break down what it means to compete well, why finishing isn’t enough, and why aiming only for purgatory is a spiritual trap we fall for too easily.
Midway through, this episode turns into a conversation with you — my Substack readers and listeners — as we riff on questions, side notes (yes, even Batman vs. Superman through a Catholic lens), and what it all means for the fight for holiness.
Don’t coast. Don’t settle. Don’t just get by. You’re made for greatness — so run to win.
