One Whirling Adventure

One Whirling Adventure in 2021

What is "One Whirling Adventure," and why does it matter? Discover OWA's mission and vision in this mid-season update on past Season 1 episodes and episodes to come in 2021.

OWA: St. Anthony and Catholic Monasticism

Did you ever wonder what medieval monks actually did all day long? Well, mystery solved: this excerpt from episode 13 of One Whirling Adventure opens the abbey door and lays out their day planner.

One Whirling Adventure is only available through LANE as part of the All-Access Pass or Digital Passport.

Join Greg Smith, the Dean of LANE, for dozens of episodes on Catholic people, places, and things.

Stories Behind the Saints

You’ve heard saints’ stories, short vignettes about the pious lives they lived. At least twice a month, you’ll discover the Stories Behind the Saints, exploring the background context that reveal just how profound their lives were, and how useful they are to us today as we face similar circumstances.

Virtual Pilgrimages

You’ll visit the places where dramatic chapters in the Catholic adventure unfolded. You’ll travel not just through space, but also through time, with Virtual Pilgrimages to the France of Joan of Arc and Bernadette, the medieval Ireland of Patrick and Brendan, the ancient Rome of Peter and Paul, and Jerusalem at the time of Jesus.

Uniquely Catholic Objects

In Uniquely Catholic Objects, you’ll learn about sacred things that seem so wonderfully enchanted to Catholics, but can appear inexplicable and even weird to those that don’t understand them, like holy images and relics, indulgences and cathedrals.
