The Interior Integration for Catholics Podcast
The mission of the Interior Integration for Catholics podcast is the formation of your heart in love and for love, Together, we shore up the natural, human foundation for your spiritual formation as a Catholic. St. Thomas Aquinas asserts that without this inner unity, without this interior integration, without ordered self-love, you cannot enter loving union with God, your Blessed Mother, or your neighbor. Informed by Internal Family Systems approaches and grounded firmly in a Catholic understanding of the human person, this podcast brings you the best information, the illuminating stories, and the experiential exercises you need to become more whole in the natural realm. This restored human formation then frees you to better live out the three loves in the two Great Commandments – loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.

Summary
Fr. Dave Pivonka TOR, president of Franciscan University joins us to discuss the integration of personal formation for college students. We address the danger of over-spiritualizing – spiritual bypassing – and how many of the struggles in the Church in the last 50 years are due to human formation deficits. Fr. Pivonka shares his insights about how transformation first happens interiorly, inside oneself – and then radiates outward to change the world. We discuss the difficulties that college students frequently face, the importance of community, concerns about pietism, and embracing our true identity. College students and their parents will not want to miss this episode.
