Sunday Dive

Do you ever find the Bible readings at Mass confusing, or disjointed, or just plain weird? If so, Sunday Dive is the podcast for you! Focusing on the upcoming Sunday readings, Katie Patrizio spends each weekly episode exploring the original language, historical backdrop, cultural environment, and Old Testament context of the Scriptures, bringing the text to life and giving listeners a "surround-sound" experience of the Bible like they've never heard before. Tune in and discover why Chris Stefanick called Katie "a POWERFUL speaker: intellectually deep, spiritually rich, and eminently practical."
