#029: Student Q&A w/ Catholic Workers Eric and Brenna Anglada
Episode description
On today's episode, seniors in high school write in questions to two Catholic Worker farmers. The TikTok generation learns what it takes to live according to the seasons, practice radical simplicity, and participate in community reconciliation circles. Worlds are colliding!
Nick and fellow teacher Joe Cussen host Eric and Brenna Anglada to share their experience as Catholic Workers in Wisconsin and respond to questions from students in Nick and Joe's Catholic Social Teaching theology course. Eric and Brenna have been profoundly influenced by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin's commitment to living out the Gospel message, which translates to a way of life that leaves most moderns scratching their heads. Tune in to learn why they shell their own black beans, how they oppose systemic injustice, what you can do to expand your spiritual comfort zone, and why they wouldn't trade this lifestyle for anything.
