ASCENSION
About this episode

Living as a faithful Catholic in a secular, post-Christian culture can be difficult. Dr. Sri highlights St. Paul's timeless advice about renewing our minds to remain steadfast in the Faith. By immersing our minds in the teachings of Christ, Scripture, and the lives of the saints, we can stay close to Jesus in a world filled with conflicting ideas and pressures.
