Father and Joe is a podcast series of a continuing conversation about struggles and successes of being close to God. Father Boniface provides spiritual direction through problems of daily life. According to statistics of the average American's church habits - We went to church when we were forced to but somewhere along the way, we drifted away. The ultimate goal of this podcast is to help us get back to church, regardless of what faith you hold, and create a stronger union with God.
America is being stained by liars who trying to get cheap ratings or votes by lying to us. The lie we specifically address in this episode is “you are disadvantaged because of your birth situation.”
