🎉 🎉 🎉 It's been one year since the start of this podcast! 🎉 🎉 🎉
In this special anniversary episode, Madeline chats with Deacon Steven Caraher, a longtime friend, OG SBLTF supporter, and (at the time of release) transitional deacon for the Diocese of Gary to celebrate the podcast's anniversary and Steven's recent ordination. During the course of their conversation, they discuss growing up Catholic, his initial reasons for desiring the priesthood, the influence of altar severing, St. Maximilian Kolbe, compartmentalization, the influence of small group (including the legend of the Teter Small Group), Hoosier Awakening 4, his vocation story, his time at Mundelein and Sacred Heart seminaries, the steps he had to take before officially being ordained to the diaconate, the importance of community, theater, how God gets the last laugh, how he ended up at IU and in his degree path, liturgy of the hours, sanctification, his favorite things about seminary, consecration to St. Joseph, what his diaconate year will be like, discernment tips, and much more!
During the course of their conversation, they make many references that you can further explore. Some of these references include episode 7 of this podcast, the Father and Dad Podcast (which he co-hosts with his dad), the play A Man for All Seasons, and the Consecration to St. Joseph by Fr. Donald Calloway.
