In this episode of Recasting Culture, host Aibel Joseph sits down with Dr. Tim O’Malley, theologian, educator, and leader in Catholic formation, for a rich conversation on storytelling, relationships, marriage, and the role of liturgy in everyday life.Dr. O’Malley shares his journey into theology and Catholic education, revealing how personal stories shape identity, faith, and vocation. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at his unique “Nuptial Mystery” class, where students explore love, dating, marriage, and what authentic relationships really mean in today’s culture. Surprisingly, many young people are approaching these questions with more seriousness and depth than we might expect.

Host Aibel Joseph talks with Will Kershen, Director of Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship working in the Archdiocese of Chicago, about how storytelling, ambition, and faith intersect in today’s culture. They reflect on their time in the ECHO program, share insights from Catholic high schools, and explore how authentic relationships and mental prayer can help us recast our stories and evangelize the world around us.
