Two priests serving as college chaplains in Kansas talk, laugh, and teach their way through trending topics, popular culture, and - of course - the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Catholic Faith. Welcome to Rome of the Range!
St. Isidore's Catholic Student Center
The Konza Catholic Podcast is a highly recommended podcast for anyone seeking media centered around the truth, goodness, and beauty of Catholicism. As an avid listener, I can attest to the depth of the discussions presented by these two great priests from one of the holiest states in the USA. In today's secular world, it is refreshing to hear such authentic and impactful conversations that dive into great Catholic content without ever becoming stuffy.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is how down-to-earth and funny Father Gale and Father Drew are. They have a unique ability to combine their deep knowledge of Jesus and Catholic teachings with relatable humor, reminding listeners that priests are normal people too. It is this balance between being knowledgeable yet approachable that sets The Konza Catholic Podcast apart from others in its genre.
Additionally, I appreciate that this podcast is more than just entertainment; it provides a meaningful way to spend time during long drives or any other moment when you want something more substantial than mindless chatter. The grace and confidence I have gained from listening to this podcast has helped me become the best version of myself, as it offers authentic and impactful conversations each week - something much needed in today's world.
Furthermore, as someone who grew up near Wichita and taught in its diocese for ten years, hearing words like "safeguard" mentioned on this podcast brings back nostalgic memories. I feel a connection to St. Isidore's where these priests serve, even though I attend another parish regularly. The podcast has truly helped my faith journey at an important time in my life.
In conclusion, The Konza Catholic Podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith while enjoying relatable conversations. The hosts' humor combined with their knowledge makes for an enjoyable experience that impacts lives every day - be it through shaping students' experiences at Kansas State University or reaching listeners worldwide.
