Dog Days of Eternity--what does that mean? Welp, most know what the dog days of summer feel like. A little bit of boredom. A little bit of looking back and looking ahead. But what does it mean to look intently at the here and now, and have eternity make its way into our lives? This is what the guys cover in the episode, and its exciting to see what direction the conversation goes!

Not only are we being dorks by referring to Antichrist via a Brady Bunch meme, but we have made a "tribute" episode...to one of the best unusable shows we recorded! Due to severe audio issues that rendered half of the show hard to hear, we were not able to post a show about the now infamous interview between Tech Billionaire Peter Theil and conservative media commentator Ross Douthat. But God in his good Providence had good things in mind: with a few weeks of even more commentary and happenings in regards to that interview and Peter Theil, and even more so Bud and Bo's fruitful thinkings on tech and theosis due to their retreat last week, we pick up what is salvageable idea-wise from the now lost episode, and create something--even better!And as you can surmise, this has everything to do with different conceptions of the antichrist, and rival conceptions on salvation from said figure. Don't miss it!

The UCG Boys have a retreat they are giving, and so we think through what we are talking about with you here on air! If the life of faith isn't just a behavior modification program, and retreats aren't just pep rallies about how to make you live your "best life," then what is it? Come along with us as we talk about things ranging from virtue and tech, and culminates in understanding the life of faith in terms of sacrifice!

We have another episode in our Religion and Technology series--we talk with UCG All-Star Dr. David Delio about his work and research in the theological conception of the human heart, and how clinging and exhorting people to follow the Church's teaching in that matter, we may have a fighting chance against the technocratic paradigm.

We are back from our adventures out to Washington D.C., and we are continuing our Religion and Technology series, and we are continuing to look at the documents of Vatican II through that lens, AND WE ARE CONTINUING to look at the document Lumen Gentium. This is a great document if people would actually give it a thorough read rather than just skim for the well known quoted texts, especially the end when it comes to the Church at the end of time and the Marian form of the Church!
