New Episode—Pier Giorgio Frassati and the Wonder of Virtuous Living with Bobby Angel

In a noisy, distracted world, how do we recover a sense of awe before God?

Oscar and Bobby Angel explore the power of silence, the gift of nature, and the witness of saints—especially Pier Giorgio Frassati, who will be canonized this Sunday, September 7! They unpack how digital overload can dull our wonder, why stepping away from screens matters, and how small encounters with grace can lead to lifelong transformation.
