## Resource

Miracles are one of the most fascinating parts of Christianity, but what are they for? In this episode, we explore what miracles actually are, why Jesus performed them, and whether or not miracles have decreased since the time of the Apostles. We also chat about healing Masses, miraculous healings, and the tension between healthy skepticism and genuine openness to God’s power. This conversation is less about chasing signs and more about understanding what miracles are meant to point us toward. Hint: It's God.
