In this episode, Sister Elizabeth welcomes back Father Patrick Griffin, C.M., for a conversation on what it means for the Word of God to be “unchained.” Drawing deeply from St. Paul’s life, conversion, and captivity letters, Father Pat explores how Paul transforms the chains meant to silence him into instruments of proclamation.
Together, they trace Paul’s journey from persecutor to apostle, reflect on the meaning of suffering for the sake of the Gospel, and examine how Scripture continues to break through our modern-day limitations. Father Pat challenges listeners to reflect on where we allow the Word to be chained in our own lives and what it means to proclaim the Gospel fearlessly today.
