Is modern life making us happier—or pulling us further from God, family, and one another? Mike Thomas and Andrew Ewell of the American Catholic Land Movement join Conor to discuss why so many Catholics are rediscovering a simpler, land-based way of life rooted in prayer, family, and meaningful work. Together they explore Catholic social teaching, distributism, technology and AI, the importance of subsidiarity and community, and how reconnecting with the created world can help restore a more human, virtuous, and deeply Catholic way of living.

Who were the Knights Templar—and how much of what we've been told is actually true? Matthew Weller joins Conor to separate history from myth, exploring the origins of the Templars during the Crusades, their unique calling as warrior-monks, and the spiritual mission that shaped one of the most misunderstood orders in Church history. Together they examine the purpose of the Crusades, the Templars' military and financial innovations, the accusations that led to their dramatic downfall, and the enduring legends surrounding their connection to the Holy Grail, Freemasonry, and hidden treasures.

Who was St. Bonaventure, and why does the Church honor him as the Seraphic Doctor? In this episode, Fr. Robert Nixon—Benedictine monk, scholar, and translator—joins Conor to explore the remarkable life of one of the greatest saints and theologians in Catholic history. From his miraculous healing through the intercession of St. Francis of Assisi to his friendship with St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure combined profound holiness with brilliant scholarship. Together they discuss his spiritual writings, his reflections on Christ’s Passion in The Seven Last Words of Christ, and why his vision of prayer, wisdom, and union with God remains essential for Catholics today.
