Father directly teaches about “parking” which is being a lukewarm soul.  The podcast Father and Joe brings us, as individuals, closer to the Holy Spirit and His Church.Thank you for listening.FatherAndJoe@gmail.comAlso you can find is on twitter @FatherAndJoe   Catholic, Church, God, Help, Real Life, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Revelations, Lukewarm, Prayer, Faith
