Here’s what happened without the Internet for 30 days!

I’m back in the studio after an ENTIRE MONTH away from the internet, and I have loads to tell you. Tune in as I share some insights I picked up while I was off the grid, as well as answer your questions about:

– How I did (and did not) spend my time while I was away.
– Which technology I’m giving up for good now.
– How to let go of your smartphone and social media.
– And more!

Aquinas, Philosophy, and Stuff w/ Fr. Gregory Pine

In this episode, I welcome back Fr. Gregory Pine. Rather than focus on a single topic, we just kick back and talk about all sorts of things, such as:

– St. Thomas Aquinas’ tips for memory retention.
– What priests should—and should not—talk about in their homilies.
– The politicization of words such as “mercy.”
– How to discuss heaven and hell.
– Right versus wrong ways to approach tradition.

Apologetics Ninja w/ Trent Horn

In this episode, Trent Horn joins me once again around the bar table to talk about… well… all kinds of things! As a man on the front lines of Catholic apologetics, Trent has to lot to share with us about:

– How to ask the right questions about someone else’s beliefs.
– Ways that Catholics and Protestants trip each other up with slogans.
– The real purpose of dialogue and common ground.
– How NOT to argue for God’s existence.
– Economics, Communion for pro-abortion politicians, and more.

How to Quit the Internet w/ Dave Rubin

In this episode, Dave Rubin and I have a chat before we go off the grid for the month of August. As two people whose careers are intertwined with the internet and social media, we’ve found that a month disconnected from the noise of the worldwide web creates a fresh perspective and a clear focus on what’s truly important in life.

We also discuss:
– How cell phones and the internet have become almost godlike over the last 20 years
– Why a month offline creates more authentic, in-person interactions
– Why you don’t need a grand plan when you go off the grid; it could be catching up with friends or reading the books piled on your nightstand
– And many more reasons why a month off the grid benefits the mind and soul!

Women Struggle With Pornography Too w/ Rachael Killackey

As much as we hear about pornography in today’s world, there’s something we don’t hear about all that much: how women struggle with it.

This week on “Pints with Aquinas,” I welcome Rachael Killackey, who shares her own story about struggling with pornography and the practical insights she’s learned in her healing journey, including:

– Why women experience pornography differently than men
– Who you should (and should not) ask to be an accountability partner
– How to confess an addiction to porn to someone without it being awkward
– Why you shouldn’t be on social media if you struggle with pornography
