PadsCast – Details, episodes & analysis

Ganoong kasiksik ang Jubilee experience that we are having another episode, but this time with my codelegates and Catholic Content Creators Kia Abrera and missionary couple Jpaul and Viv Hernandez.

This is probably our longest episode ever, pero siksik na siksik eto pramis: may tawanan, mas maraming tawanan...at maraming magagandang baon at aral.

We hope this inspires you to make the most of the remaining Jubilee months, a special time that won't come again til another quarter century. Enjoy!

Lumipad ang aming team, este si Pads Albert lang pala, papuntang Vatican to attend the first ever Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers. At napaka rich ng mga naging karanasan ni Pads sa iilang araw na yun, lalo na para sa mga taong naghahangad o tinatawag ni Lord na magmisyon sa digital world as a content creator.

Pakinggan ang mga "spiritual pasalubong" ni Pads Albert kasama ni Pads Khris in this new episode!

Medyo nangingilid luha ko sa episode na to.

From an unlikely source we find hope fitting for Christmas. Fr. Firmo Bagayo, Jr. is a jesuit assigned in prison ministry, and his stories and realizations from serving what is arguably the most marginalized sector of society will inspire and challenge us at once.

Nawa'y maging daan ang interview na ito para maalala, ipagdasal, at mag-abot tayo ng tulong sa mga kapatid nating nasa piitan.

Kasama din dito ang nakakakilig na kwento kung paano sinuyo ng Diyos si Pads Jun-G na maging paring Heswita.

All this with our usual tawanan at kulitan in a truly special episode of The PadsCast.

Livestreams, vlogs, tiktok . . . sa Simbahan? Dahil sa pandemic, naghanap tayo ng iba't ibang paraan para makapiling si God at isa't isa . . . online! Nagbabalik sa episode na ito si Fr. Pao at kasama si Bro. Ed para pag-usapan ang malawak na paksa ng Catholic Church at social media. ALSO: stay tuned to the end for a very special announcement. Enjoy! 

Yung totoo: binasa mo o kinanta mo ang title? June na kasi, at para sa marami ito ang best time para sa kasal. So for this podcast episode, the Pads will cover some common questions about Catholic weddings: mula sa kung ano ang tinuturo ng Simbahang Katolika tungkol sa kasal, kung paano paghandaan ito, at pati na kung ilang tao ba dapat, kung saan pwede gawin, atbp. 

"Lord, pagnabuo ko 'tong novena, bigay mo wish ko ha." Ganyan ka ba kay God? Genie, Big Brother, Judge—maraming "mukha" ang Diyos sa atin na parang tama pero nakaka-minus ligtas points sa'tin. In this episode, the Pads looks into how some of our widespread "images" of God are toxic, and how we can grow out of them.

Every now and then our show becomes . . . Pari Tales! Laid back, free-wheeling kwentuhan with occasional special guests. And this episode ito ay si Fr. Baste: four-month old priest, who shares about entering the priesthood during pandemic times, ang kanyang journey sa pagiging pari, at ang mga blessings and trials na naging bahagi ng kanyang paglalakbay.

"Ok lang ba magsinungaling kung . . . " Ang dami nating dahilan, ano po? Pero usapang totoo tayo sa episode na ito: is it ever okay to lie? Kelan ba sya counted as mortal or grave sin? Are there even good or bad lies? Samahan sina Pads as they weigh in on lying and why, regardless of reasons behind them, they should matter to us. 

Disgrasyang maituturing tuwing may paring nasasangkot sa eskandalo. But in this honest and difficult conversation, titingnan nina Pads kung paano natin pwedeng harapin ang mga ganitong insidente, kung paano tayo makakatulong maiwasan ito, at kung paanong sa kabila ng lahat, sa disgrasya maari ding magsimula ang grasya. 

Paano ba basahin ang Bibliya ng tama? Bakit minsan parang may inconsistencies ang sinasabi nito? And why is it important to make the Bible an integral part of our everyday life? Samahan niyo kami sa isang usapang Bibliya with our new priest and budding Bible scholar na si Fr. Oliver Par, SSP.
