About this episode
Is it okay to be sad as a Christian? If we have faith in God, shouldn't we always be joyful? In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Joseph-Anthony explore the relationship between sadness, Christian joy, and holiness. Drawing on the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, they discuss why sadness isn't necessarily a bad thing, how to respond to sorrow, and why experiencing difficult emotions doesn't make you a bad Christian. From grief and disappointment to persistent sadness, the friars offer practical and spiritual insights on finding peace through friendship, patience, prayer, and the presence of Christ. Join the men of Exodus 90 and Fr. Gregory Pine for a Holy Speech Challenge…
