In this thought-provoking conversation with author and speaker Carrie Gress, Jayce and James explore the profound tension between feminism and Catholicism that many modern women feel, but struggle to articulate.Through personal stories of evangelizing her own family and navigating the transition from career focus to motherhood, Carrie offers practical wisdom for those trying to live authentic Catholic womanhood in a culture that misunderstands it. She reminds us that evangelization succeeds not through winning arguments but through loving people exactly where they are—a lesson she learned through her own failures.• Carrie's journey from secular Oregon to Catholic faith following her father's death• The challenge of transitioning from individual spirituality to motherhood and finding new ways to pray• How feminism promotes autonomy as an idol while Christianity celebrates relationship and vulnerability• The "shadow church" of feminism with its own theological virtues of envy, contempt, and rage• Why evangelization succeeds through loving people where they are, not through intellectual arguments• The importance of magnanimity for men and rejecting the "fear of discomfort" that enables dysfunction• How Our Lady provides the perfect model of authentic womanhood through humility and surrender• God's providence in preparing Carrie for her mission despite oppositionFind more from Carrie at carriegress.com or visit theologyofhome.com for her blog with daily content offering an alternative to the feminist narrative.Register now for the 2025 Discipleship Conference for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City!

Father John Riccardo, from ACTS XXIX, joined Jayce and James ahead of the first Discipleship Conference in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Father Riccardo explained how he presents the Gospel and more. Father John Riccardo's passionate faith culminated in the founding of Acts XXIX, a transformative ministry that seeks to rekindle the fervor for the Lordship of Jesus and resist the creeping worldliness in the church.In today's episode, Jayce and James explore Father Ricardo's discernment process and spiritual journey that led to the creation of Acts XXIX and The Rescue Project. This journey, steeped in obedience, has turned into a beacon of hope for many. The Rescue Project, an innovative video experience, has been instrumental in spreading the Gospel. We also delve into the fundamental role of The Rescue Project in the modern-day proclamation of the Gospel.Their discussion takes an interesting turn as they look at four essential questions that Father Ricardo uses in his teachings. These questions encourage a deeper understanding of our reality and the state of the world from a biblical perspective.

What can a foray into disc golf teach us about God's Providence? It's not all about birdies and pars. Jayce, James and Father John Paul Lewis dig into the subject of God's Providence, reflecting on how even suffering and adversity are part of His divine plan. Joined by Father John Paul Lewis, who shared his incredible conversion story rooted in his own experience with life-threatening illness.Absorbing the lessons from the tale of Joseph in Genesis, we examine the power of suffering and its transformative potential. How can our adversities possibly have a redeeming effect on others? It's a challenging concept to embrace, but one that opens up a whole new perspective on faith, surrender, and the grandeur of God's vision. Trusting in the Lord's Providence isn't easy, but taking that leap of faith, just as Joseph did, might be the key to enduring and even finding peace amidst trials.Drawing strength from the understanding of God's Providence can provide comfort, assurance, and even hope for a better tomorrow.************Links and other stuff from the show:Pastoral Letter, "On the Unity of the Body and Soul:" archokc.org/pastoral-lettersSign up to be an "Ordinary Missionary:" archokc.org/reddirtcatholicsRed Dirt Catholics Email Address: reddirtcatholics@archokc.orgThe Book "From Christendom to Apostolic Mission" (Digital and Print): AmazonThe Social Dilemma: https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224Daily Examen Prayer: https://bit.ly/309As8zLectio Divina How-To: https://bit.ly/3fp8UTa
