In the first episode of The Ordinary Time, Phil Lozano and Billy Kane introduce themselves and the purpose of the show: an honest conversation about faith, brotherhood, and the struggles men often carry in silence.

Recorded on the Feast of the Assumption, they talk about men’s mental health, learning to receive God’s love instead of performing for it, and why silence and prayer matter. Phil and Billy share parts of their own stories and what they hope listeners take from the podcast.

Billy’s story begins with isolation, video games, and the drugs that took over after middle school, until his life hit a wall. It turns when a friend asked him to pray a rosary in a parked car, the first time he felt the love of Christ he had been missing.

Phil talks about the moment God’s love stopped being an idea and started running his life. He had the skill, the drive, and the words written down. None of it held until he asked God to show Himself and let that love lead him.

Phil and Billy talk about the love men do not know how to take. They were taught to earn it, spin every plate, and keep God at arm’s length.

Episode 4 is the turn toward receiving that love in silence, in adoration, and in the Eucharist.

Episode 5 of The Ordinary Time: Phil and Billy sit down for an honest, unscripted conversation about the hardest part of living the Catholic faith — surrender.

They talk about what it actually looks like to give your struggles to God instead of white-knuckling your way through them: the pressure to have it all figured out, the shame of not doing enough, and the quiet lie that good behavior is what gets you into heaven. Drawing on the examples of Joseph in the Old and New Testaments, King David's Psalm 51, and the story of St. Longinus at the foot of the cross, they talk through what it means that God invites rather than forces — and why so many of us know Christ by name but never pick up the cross.

This isn't a scripted teaching — it's two friends, unfiltered, working through their own doubt, anxiety, and recovery in real time, and trusting that the struggle itself is part of the gift.
