Episode 12: How Did We Get Here?

Listen as a podcast.

Synopsis: 

How did we get here? This is a common question you hear as a priest. People look at the struggles in our society and our Church and wonder—How did we get here? We do not need to complicate the answer. Jesus tells us very plainly—“You cannot serve God and mammon” (Matthew 6:24). Plainly speaking, we have been choosing “mammon” (money/stuff) over God pretty consistently. And we are reaping the consequences. How can we here on our Native Soil turn the tide? How can we choose to make God the center of our lives not just in name but in practice?
