  • What is Morality?
  • (5:05) Natural Law.
  • (17:49) Sara – Currently not in a state of grace…haven’t been for 2 years. Divorced…very messy. Filing for an annulment. I’m in a relationship now. Praying that God helps me to see what my path forward is.

(24:15) Break 1

  • (25:39) Paul – Had a friend who was raised Jewish and came to the church. 3 step process. Had to know the love of God, be catechized, and then the moral demands of faith. I think we put up the immoral part of people’s lives sometimes…many live far from God and we want to address them about their immoral parts first.
  • (29:18) Tina – Went through a divorce and want to know how to move forward from it. a lot of lies and deceit. Trying to draw closer to God and walk with him. Had a lot of anger and hate. How do I regain forgiveness in my heart?
