The Frank Friar - Episode 117: Talking About Suicide

Today, I am talking about suicide. Why? Because, a family member of mine committed suicide at the beginning of the month of September. I am from a rural culture and this is a word people do not talk about, for many reasons. Yet, I believe the fear from speaking about this topic keeps things in the darkness and might continue a cycle of pain.

The Frank Friar - Episode 177: Ecumenism and The Holy Thirst

Today, I speak about a book a received recently called Holy Thirst. It is a book about main themes in Carmelite Spirituality. It speaks about the themes through offering a litany of Carmelite quotes in and around that topic. The book came out through Paraclete Press. This publisher has ecumenism as purpose for their existence. In the episode I speak a little bit about ecumenism and the role/place of Carmel in that work. Here is a link if you wish to look up this book:  https://paracletepress.com/ collections/new-releases/ products/holy-thirst If you like my podcast, please make sure to subscribe to the podcast it really does help me.
