Podcast appearances and mentions of gregory pine

Send a textGossip. Lying. Flattery. Crass words. Most of us recognize that sins of speech quietly undermine our pursuit of holiness. In this episode, I sit down with Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., to discuss his book Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech and the path toward verbal virtue.Drawing from Thomistic wisdom and pastoral experience, Fr. Gregory explains why speech is ordered toward communion with God and others, why seemingly “small” faults like exaggeration and gossip are spiritually dangerous, and how cultivating habits of truth-telling, correction, humor, prayer, and restraint can transform our relationships. If you've ever struggled with frustration, careless words, or discouragement in trying to change, this conversation offers both clarity and hope.About Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.Fr.

Fr. Mitch and Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. talk about how to truly discover who we are, and whom we belong to, through the Eucharist while living amidst a world obsessed with identity.

Fr. Gregory Pine reflects—half playfully, half seriously—on the question: “Is it a sin to dominate conversation?” Starting with St. Augustine's definition of sin and moving through natural law and the human call to communion, he argues that conversation isn't just “talk,” but a real way we share life with one another.If you've ever wondered whether you talk too much (or how to draw others out without forcing it), this is a thoughtful, funny, and surprisingly practical meditation on what it means to relate well—humanly and Christianly.

Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. joins Matt Fradd for an in-depth conversation about Eucharistic miracles, the real presence of Christ, and the spiritual life. Fr. Pine shares his research on miraculous hosts that have turned to human heart tissue, how to detect pride and narcissism in ourselves, and offers practical wisdom on prayer, the dangers of social media, and why showing up in God's presence, even with our mess, is what Jesus desires most. Ep. 566

In this teaser episode of Ave Explores: Lent with Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, host Katie McGrady sits down with Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, to name a familiar tension: many of us resist Lent, even while longing for the work God wants to do in us. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving aren't ends in themselves—they're pathways into deeper participation in the divine life and a renewed ability to recognize God in the ordinary. Fr. Gregory invites us to begin simply, with an honest prayer: Lord, I need you. This conversation sets the tone for our Lenten series inspired by Fr. Patrick Mary Briscoe's book Witness. Throughout Lent, we'll walk alongside those who encountered the Passion firsthand, with weekly videos featuring Fr. Patrick and companion podcast episodes with guests including Bishop Andrew Cozzens, Meg Hunter-Kilmer, Ali Hoffman, Fr. Jerónimo Espinosa, Laura Fanucci, and more. This Lent, don't get stuck in what you dislike about the season. Let God meet you where you are—and lead you where he is calling you to go.

Send us a textIn this episode of Daily Nothings, we explore discretion as a Catholic virtue and why it matters so much for Catholic women navigating modern life. In a culture shaped by social media, oversharing, and constant visibility, discretion can feel countercultural, yet it is essential for protecting the heart and cultivating a strong interior life.This conversation looks at what discretion means in the Catholic life, how it relates to boundaries, dating, friendships, and modesty, and why choosing not to share everything can be an act of wisdom, self-respect, and trust in God. We also reflect on how Catholic women can practice discretion online, in relationships, and in their spiritual lives without becoming closed off or distant.If you are a young Catholic woman seeking clarity, peace, and deeper intentionality in how you live and share your life, this episode offers a gentle invitation to rediscover discretion as a path toward freedom, holiness, and authentic connection.Abundantly Yours: Shop at abundantlyyours.org and follow @abundantly.yours on Instagram.

What advice does Thomas Aquinas have for the modern person, especially the modern parent? Have you ever felt that something might be missing in modern parenting trends, like gentle parenting? In today's episode, Father Gregory Pine introduces us to an ancient practice that has shaped children for centuries: virtue ethics. First explored by classical philosophers like Aristotle and later popularized in the Middle Ages by St. Thomas Aquinas, virtue ethics remains central to the Church's teachings on character formation. Father Pine, drawing from his deep knowledge of St. Thomas Aquinas, offers practical guidance for parents seeking to cultivate virtues like justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude in their children. Raising children to be happy and holy adults can feel daunting, but this episode is essential for empowering parents to nurture future saints. Additionally, Father Pine shares his personal journey—how he discovered his vocation and developed a passion for St. Thomas Aquinas' teachings. I hope this conversation inspires and equips you to approach parenting with a renewed perspective and practical tools.Check Out Fr Gregory's work:Aquinas 101: https://aquinas101.com/Godsplaining Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Godsplaining Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!
