    The West Texas Catholic: The Podcast

    What does it take to become a deacon? Apparently about 5½ years, 1,200 hours, and a whole lot of grace. Deacon Brian Lewis joins us to break down the journey to the permanent diaconate — vocations, formation, and why the Diocese of Amarillo is fishing for the next class of servant-leaders. Oh!...and making sure your wife signs the paperwork! 😅 Spoiler Alert: the nets are ready...now we just need the fishermen. 🎣

  • Mercy: God’s Favorite Plot Twist
    Mar 27 2026

    The West Texas Catholic: The Podcast

    Need a clean slate? We’ve got mercy for that. 🙏 In this episode, we unpack Divine Mercy Sunday, the life and mission of Saint Faustina, and why God never stops inviting us back...no matter how far we think we’ve gone. It’s a powerful mix of real stories and practical faith. Whether you’re all in or still figuring things out, this conversation brings clarity, encouragement, and a reminder that grace always has the final word — and that confession isn’t something to fear...it’s a gift. Plot twist: God’s mercy is undefeated. 🏆
