A world adventurer, an opinionated engineer, and a very well read missionary priest - welcome to Sons of Thunder! Relax and enjoy the conversation, banter, and at times, ignorance, of three good friends as Sam, Marty, and Fr Dave delve into their history of adventures, faith stumbling blocks, and moments of grace. From 2006 to 2008 Sam Clear walked 15,600km around the world for the unity of the church. He nearly died 11 times. His good mates, Marty & Fr Dave, were his support crew before, during and after the enormous journey. Each episode the three friends pick apart an aspect of the walk for unity and how it plays out in everyday life. From Church history to personal prayer, from overcoming adversity to their favourite saints, and the occasional guest thrown in, Sons of Thunder is a podcast for all ages - listen, learn, laugh. (Most of the learning will come as a result of Fr Dave...)

Has there been a more famous Saint with so little known of their life? And yet, the little we do know is extraordinary. In our age fleeing frantically from humility it's a healthy practice to take a step back, and meditate on the foster-father of Our Lord Jesus and protector of The Blessed Virgin Mary, St Joseph.

We can all receive love when we think we've earned it, but can we be loved and love others in our brokenness - in their brokenness? In a world vying for perfection in everything the notion of purity in holiness can be greatly skewed. In God's mercy we are perfected.

The seven deadly sins, of which there are sometimes eight, and they are technically vices, are so engrained in our everyday existence that it's pretty important to stop and take stock of how much 'gardening' we require in our life.

The Sons of Thunder podcast is limited, so we decided to dedicate an entire episode to the books that have inspired us! Some recommended reading, from St Louis de Montfort, to G.K. Chesterton, to Dante, to Pulitzer Prize winner Edwin Black, and quite a few in between. Essential reading to inspire faith and love.

What does it mean to follow God, and to walk with others on that journey into God's love? Are we actually engaging in discipleship or floating through life and relationships, even with God? In Episode 31 the challenge posed is can we intentionally follow Christ?

Everyone meditates. Often on multiple things at the same time. And often on things that aren't helpful. How can we meditate on what will give us life, and how have those who've gone before us, like the Carmelites, immersed and grown through meditation to encounter Christ?

Living a life steeped in joy, gratefulness, awe & wonder, whilst moving from selfishness to love of the other - this is the journey we are called to! Purity, far from being about becoming a prune, is the perfection of love.
