The Spiritual Life with Fr. James Martin, S.J. - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m having trouble putting into words the immense positive impact this podcast has had on my faith. Hearing each of these guests shared how they are a ‘loved sinner’ in different ways, how they feel they are erratic pray-ers, learning more about all things Jesuit has been incredibly uplifting to me and has honestly strengthened my faith significantly. I find myself reflecting for days after listening. I talk to friends about what they thought of the episodes. I’ve talked with my mom and dad, especially after the Fr. Gilger episode where they talked about “worrying is worshipping the problem.” THANK YOU and hurry back. Season 2 can’t come soon enough!

I’m not a big podcast person but I look forward to this one weekly. A diverse mix of guests always give me a nugget or two to ponder. It’s conversational and enjoyable to listen to yet thought provoking. I heartily recommend it!

So many discussions of Christian spirituality get lost in theoretical musings. Fr. Martin, Maggie, and their guests keep it real, which we as believers need more of in this increasingly complex world. I am refreshed and renewed by these conversations.

I’ve always found Fr. Martin’s writings and reflections helpful and meaningful. Hearing him ask questions about a person’s views of their own spiritual experiences helped me look into my own spiritual life and realize that I am not alone in my doubts and questions and sometimes fears. Looking forward to listening to the other episodes on this podcast!
