Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E41 - Keepin' the Faith
play

09/12/18 • 62 min

Pop and Jess get together over the webs of inter to break down what it means to be a Catholic and how to keep the faith in times of chaos (ya know, like if there were seemingly endless scandals extending all the way to the highest ranking members of the clergy or some other purely hypothetical situation like that.) With emotions so high and spirits so low, it may feel right to cut away from the church in search of a more unblemished sanctuary. But, does one leave Peter (or Jesus) because of Judas? What do we mean when we say every week "I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church"? Join us for a journey through jargon, a hike through history, a trek through church teaching and a (hopefully) relaxing romp with reason.

From the nature of our own being to how physical existence manifests between us and our Creator, this podcast is chock-full of mind-bending musings destined to throw a wrench in your plans of having a carefree summer. Join us for some good-old-fashioned physical pondering, won't you? You can get in touch with our physical beings at [email protected]

So, you're telling me that there are people who actually believe that some supernatural being(s) can HEAR what they are thinking and saying? Are these people insane? They must be outliers! Freaks! Psychos! Oh, wait...this far-out mystery is actually an almost universal belief of all humans for all of time? Weird... The nature of prayer is a deeeeeeep mystery, full of intellectual theological speculation and heartfelt spiritual mysticism. Join us, foolish mortals, as we speculate on specters hearing our thoughts in this episode of Pop n Jay.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E33: We Talk of Beauty
play

09/20/17 • 58 min

We are baaaaaack! A little mini-break as Jay began her teaching "career" and Pop continued to be busy, busy, busy. This episode we discuss the objective versus subjective nature of BEAUTY. Is it in the eye of the beholder? Is it an objective fact? Join us as we rear this podcast's ugly head to get back into the beautiful swing of things.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E31: It's About TIME
play

07/09/17 • 61 min

It's been a long TIME coming--Pop and Jess finally delve into a subject that has piqued their interest since they began conversing...and that's a long TIME. We use the term and its related expressions colloquially constantly (there I go). "I had a good TIME" "TIME to go" "The TIME is now" "TIME it just right" and I could go on and on and on...like TIME. Enjoy our discussion of a subject that could literally continue forever (ahem) and one which we will surely tackle again. Buckle up and step into our proverbial DeLorean as we go back to the future...or wherever this topic of TIME takes us.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E30: Boo who?
play

06/02/17 • 66 min

Pop n Jess discuss more about the afterlife in this episode...though perhaps in a bit creepier, crawlier way than usual. Why do we humans think things go bump in the night, anyhow? How irrational and un-sciency of us to believe that our dearly departed may somehow stick around to visit us...or torment us. From Casper to zombies, we tackle this specter-tacular topic.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E28: Hope Springs Maternal
play

04/24/17 • 61 min

You've seen it as a catchphrase, you've heard it used tirelessly in country music and Disney movies. BUT, isn't Hope MORE than what our get-rich-quick self-help culture has turned it into? After all, we're pretty sure that Hope is one of them danged-ol virtues that smart guy Aquinas talked a lot about. In fact, Hope is key to living an authentic Christian life, and we would all do well to reflect on its awesomeness more often. Join us (and Sidney :-/) ruminating on this transcendent trust.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E27: Family Matters
play

03/14/17 • 55 min

After a bit of a hiatus for Jess to deal with the little matter of adding to her own family by giving birth to her firstborn daughter, the podcasting duo are back to talk about what makes a family and why we should care about keeping these ancient unions intact. Doesn't it take "a village" to raise children? Who cares about old-fashioned terms like, "mother," and "father," anyhow? Aren't they just prejudiced terms used by knuckle-dragging Trump supporters to perpetuate hetero-stereotypes? We discuss the roots and fruits of la familia, as well as what being in a loving family means for us in el siguiente mundo.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E26: Casting Out Fear
play

01/02/17 • 62 min

Let's get this new year off to a good start by tackling one of the most debilitating factors of human existence! (How celebratory and lighthearted of us!) The Bible is FULL of God telling us not to be afraid, not to mention other religions and even secular society. From Popes and Saintst to talk-show hosts and fortune cookies, we all have been told not to fear in varying ways, and with good reason. Fear not faithful listeners--Pop and Jess will help you with some practical techniques and advice to help get through anxiety and fear.

Pop 'n' Jay - Pop n Jay E48 - Uncivil Unrest
play

06/13/20 • 64 min

There could never be a meme meme-y enough to convey the insanity of 2020...and we are barely at the halfway point. This week's episode involves throwing Molotov cocktails at rando police officers in the name of justice or racism or freeing Tibet. Pick your virtue to signal and get your riot on! America (as always) is suffering a whole lotta fools who just can't help but hate everything (and everyone) that has anything to do with the principles that undergird our nation. Join Pop the Cop and Jess the Mess as we try to make sense of the nonsense, find meaning in the destruction and remind ourselves what a good God we have in times even (or especially) such as these.
