About this Episode
What does it actually mean to "be disposed" to receive a sacrament? In this episode, Barry and J.D. explore the theology of disposition—the inner posture that shapes how we receive grace —drawing on St. Thomas Aquinas, the healing of the paralytic, and the woman with the hemorrhage.
They discuss how disposition shows up outside of church too: in friendships, in showing up when you don't feel like it, even in getting dressed for Mass. Discover practical ways to examine and reorient your heart before you walk through the church doors and through the rest of your week.
