Busted Halo Show w/Fr. Dave Dwyer

A listener named Becca asks Father Dave about how to approach an interfaith interaction. Becca says, "[Sometimes] Mormons come to my property; I ask them to leave and they get a bit bothered. They ask if they can pray with me, and I say 'No, thank you.' Am I wrong for saying no?"

May is National Mental Health Awareness month, and Father Dave welcomes Catholic psychologist Dr. Greg Bottaro to discuss how we can improve our relationships through better listening. Dr. Bottaro is the founder of the CatholicPsych Institute and author of "The Power of Listening Well: How Holy Curiosity Can Build Trust and Restore Relationships."

Father Dave welcomes Ann Koshute to discuss how we can support Catholic couples facing the hardship of infertility. Ann is the co-founder & executive director of Springs in the Desert, a Catholic ministry dedicated to accompanying those experiencing infertility and loss through community, spiritual resources, and faith-based support. Springs in the Desert and Ascension also collaborated on a new prayer and reflection series called "Scripture and Saints for the Path of Infertility" now available on the Ascension app.

A listener named Mark asks Father Dave about the Easter season in the Catholic Church. "I'm a new Catholic. How long is the Easter season?" Mark asks.

In April, Busted Halo ministries celebrated its 25th birthday with a show in front of a live audience in New York City! As part of the festivities, Father Dave welcomes NBC veteran journalist Anne Thompson to discuss covering religious affairs in the last quarter century.
