In this episode, Jason Gale, VP of Content and Production for Tan Books, discusses the profound connection between the Eucharist and martyrdom, inspired by his book 'Martyrs of the Eucharist'. He shares his journey from being an auto mechanic to a theologian, the inspiration behind the book, and the stories of modern martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their faith. The conversation emphasizes the importance of the Eucharist in Catholicism and the role of priests in upholding this sacred tradition. In this conversation, Jason and James explore the lives of various saints, focusing on their courage, faith, and the significance of the Eucharist. The conversation emphasizes the importance of using one's talents for God's glory, the call to deeper devotion, and the need to embrace suffering as part of the spiritual journey.
These aren’t just stories—they’re challenges. Challenges to each of us to deepen our own devotion to the Eucharist, to consider how we’re called to use our talents for God, and to embrace the path of suffering that comes with authentic discipleship. So join us for an episode that will make you pause, reflect, and consider: What would you give for the Eucharist?
