Kyel and Matt discuss a smorgasbord of topics, starting with our prayer life reflecting reckless abandon to God’s love, leading to a discussion of the “nuclear family”, followed by a dive into how to control and direct our emotions, and finally ending in a debate over the ways in which we should be subject to the authority of the Catholic Church.
