Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Podcast Description
Welcome! Here we have conversations where the Christian faith interacts (or intersects) with topics found outside of the typical, safe church environment. We wanted to address the question: "What happens when a priest talks with people of the community about topics that are important to them, but not necessarily what you might hear Sunday morning?" Our church porch (or patio) was designed to facilitate these meaningful and authentic conversations, so we called this "Porch Talk." Join us!

Fr. Aaron speaks with Chris Dantzler, a young man local to Dothan, Alabama whose story is traveling well outside of the Wiregrass area. Chris embarked on a radical journey of weight loss and health that became the ”Walk With Five” movement which now has inspired a growing social media following. Chris spoke with Fr. Aaron about overcoming depression, managing addiction (which can include video gaming), and the journey that has led him to inspire others. They agreed on the spiritual component of overcoming physical challenges, and that the life of faith is supposed to embrace the difficulties that strengthen us.
