To whom would you entrust writing the story of your life: a world that doesn't know you, an enemy who hates you, or the God who loves you?  What are the two most important lessons you want to learn this year: times tables and cursive, chemistry and capitals, calculus and macroeconomics, or that you are safe and loved in the arms of your Heavenly Father?  If you're ready to radically redefine what matters most in your continuing education, ring in the new school year with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy, and encounter the teacher who would ride to school in a chariot of fire if it would set your heart ablaze.

Candid Catholic Convos 7.13.25   SHOW DESCRIPTION:   You are so much more than your external features. God saw the whole world, and saw that it was good, but He also saw it was not complete without YOU in it. Now that sounds great on paper, but in the throws of our human brokenness and negativity, how can we treat this gift God has given us with respect AND remember we are made in His image? How can we strengthen our faith as we strengthen our bodies? Today we're revisiting an episode with Erin McCole Cupp, author and certified trauma recovery counselor, about aligning our faith with our fitness goals and glorifying God with our bodies.  

Are you at a loss for answers?  Do you ever feel as though God keeps moving the target every time you try to settle on a destination for your life?  Maybe, you're asking the wrong question.  Maybe, instead of asking where you need to end up, you need to ask how to stay close to God throughout the journey.  If you're tired of wearing flip flops on God's football field and eager to start astounding people with the power of your love, then buckle up with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy, and start preparing yourself for the kind of life that comes with being an instrument of God's love.

Candid Catholic Convos 7.6.25     SHOW DESCRIPTION:    Our service members are asked to do and see things that many of us civilians can't even fathom. I will never know the full extent of what my husband saw or did overseas, but I do know that it rocked his faith. So how can we minister to those who are called to sacrifice for the rest of us, who come home with injuries that are sometimes invisible, who no longer see the intersection of faith and patriotism? Today I have the honor of speaking with Father William Barbee, pastor at both St. Joseph and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Berwick as well as a former army chaplain who served in Germany, Korea, Texas, South Carolina and eventually the Carlisle Barracks. His vast experiences and incredible journey has led him to creating a rich community steeped in the Catholic Faith and military service devotion.
