Secularism, Explaining the Trinity, & Pope Leo XIV (Listener Q's w/ Bishop Frank Caggiano)

Tune in to Let Me Be Frank for these and many more listener questions answered this week!

Exodus 90, Freedom, and Salvation with Jamie Baxter, CEO of Exodus 90
"Salvation is of the entire person, not just the soul. If we involve the body in the spiritual life, we are completing that which the Lord wants."
Bishop Frank made that observation during his conversation with Jamie Baxter, founder of Exodus 90. Exodus 90 is an outstanding program for men to lean on prayer, asceticism, and fraternity as a means to the goal of freedom.
This was a really, very edifying conversation for me to listen in on.
I've been afraid to give Exodus 90 a try, despite many invitations from dear friends... perhaps this episode is a sign I should not ignore any longer...

Hell & God's Love?
