Radio Interview: Two Approaches to Living a Catholic Life Today

Christopher Gunty, host of Catholic Review Radio, interviewed two authors regarding different aspects of Catholic life in a new episode of the program.

Tom Corcoran, a pastoral associate at Church of the Nativity in Timonium, discussed his book, “Jesus, the Rich Young Man and the Meaning of Life.” Corcoran examined the Gospel account of the rich young man to address how worldly success and possessions can obstruct a person's relationship with God. He suggested habits for spiritual growth such as repentance, generosity, and detachment.

Jeff Lukich discussed his book, “The Long Way Home: A Catholic Return to Faith.” Lukich described his experience of leaving the Church for nearly 40 years before returning to Mass on Christmas Eve 2022. He spoke about the role of shame and uncertainty in preventing people from returning to the faith and recommended reconciliation, the Eucharist, and finding a welcoming parish as ways to reconnect with the Church.
