This week, Jake and Bob welcome Dr. Shane Owens to explore how desire, the heart, and theology work together for our good, through the lens of St. Augustine's Confessions. Dr. Owens breaks down St. Augustine's healing journey and how by understanding the desires motivating our actions, we are led into deeper communion with God. They also discuss how memories shape our view of reality, why we distrust a good God, and what the Scriptures teach us about our identity. Key Points: Our desires ultimately point us towards God Sin is a result of misdirecting our desires towards something that is not God. It is an attempt to counterfeit the beautiful Memory is dynamic, not static, and returning to our heart to examine our memories plays an important role in forming our identity and facilitating healing. St. Augustine's willingness to be vulnerable in his "Confessions" is a model for vulnerability and understanding our desires. Scripture helps us recognize true beauty and reveals our true identity There will always be a tension between our desires and satisfying those desires. Healing and maturation occurs when we listen to our desires but wait for true fulfillment in God rather than settling for counterfeits.

In this episode, Dr. Shane Owens, a scholar of St. Augustine, joins us to discuss the power of memory. Together, we explore how memory is a place to where we withdraw to understand our identity, shape our whole self, and begin to see God working in our lives. Memory exists for the purpose of hope and we not only talk about how the Scriptures and Eucharist bear the memories of the Church, but also how our sorrowful memories can become sources of hope.

Dave Pivonka and Dr. Shane Owens) Heather's Other One Thing - Franciscan University's Festival of Praise Sister Miriam's One Thing - The Archdiocese of Sydney, Australia Michelle's One Thing - Return to the Heart: The Biblical Spirituality of St. Augustine's Confessions by Dr. Shane Owens Michelle's Other One Thing - Heaven for Me! by St. Thérèse of Lisieux Dr. Shane Owens' One Thing - Bible Across America from the St. Paul Center Journal Questions: Am I savoring or swallowing the gifts God has given me? What core memories of my life have been rewritten by God? What sorrowful mysteries of my life feel too complicated to ponder? Where in your memory do you need to ask Jesus where He was present in it? Discussion Questions: How can you hone your spiritual palate to be present to the good that God is doing in your life? When have you experienced the living power of memories? How have your memories been a source of hope? How are you being invited to slow down and ponder? Quote to Ponder: “The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully. The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the place of covenant.” (CCC 2563) Scripture for Lectio: “But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.” (Luke 2:19) Sponsor - Hallow: Get 3 months free of Hallow at hallow.com/abide and enjoy over 10,000 audioguided prayers, meditations, and music.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by the Dr. Shane Owens from the Franciscan University of Steubenville to talk about St. Augustine. Often claimed by non-Catholic Christians to support a low view of the papacy, the symbolic nature of Communion, and the doctrine of Sola Scriptura I ask Dr. Owens exactly what *did* St. Augustine believe about these ideas and how we can successfully win debates and discussions when a Protestant tries to claim that Augustine supports these views.With clarity and charity Dr. Owens demonstrates why arguments by popular Protestant scholars like Dr. James White and Dr. Gavin Ortlund – that Augustine supports popular Protestant doctrines – are completely wrong.
