Discernment: how do we know if we're making the right decisions - an interview with John Paul Meenan

Wow. This was a remarkable episode. John Paul Meenan , professor at Seat of Wisdom Catholic College in Ontario, joins me (and enlightens me…) on the process of discernment - good decision making. 

We make decision, big and small, every day.  One of the things I've found about the Christian life, is: how do we know if we're making the right decision?  How do we discern what's right for our family, and how to guide our young people to right decisions?

46:51 - The need for silence
