Are the stories you consume drawing you closer to truth—or pulling you further away?

In this episode of From the Rooftop, Monsignor Patrick Winslow and Father Matthew Couth explore the hidden spiritual power of literature—and why so many modern stories leave us feeling empty, inadequate, or even depressed.

From the depth of classic novels to the superficiality of today’s entertainment culture, they examine how authentic storytelling reveals the human soul, prepares the heart for grace, and reflects the deeper realities of sin, suffering, and redemption.

Why do great novels move us so profoundly?

Why do shallow characters dominate modern media—and what is the cost?

And how can you tell if a story is forming your soul… or deforming it?

Drawing on insights from Graham Greene, the example of James Bond, and the spiritual wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, this conversation offers a powerful framework for discerning the stories in your life.

👉 If you've ever walked away from a movie or book feeling strangely empty… this episode will explain why.
