Episode Topic: Is There a Feminine Genius? Thirty years ago, in both Evangelium Vitae and his Letter to Women, Pope John Paul II issued a clear call for the genius of women to be “more fully expressed in the life of society as a whole, as well as in the life of the Church” (Letter to Women 10). Throughout his papacy, in fact, he emphasized women's “prophetic character,” calling on them to be “witnesses” and “sentinels” — guardians of the sacred gift of life and the order of love (Mulieris Dignitatem 29; Homily at Lourdes 2004). “Is There a Feminine Genius?” a panel discussion with Deborah Savage, Sr. Theresa Aletheia, Abigail Favale, Sr. Ann Astell, and moderator Melissa Moschella, took place at the McGrath Institute for Church Life conference True Genius: The Mission of Women in Church and Culture at the University of Notre Dame in March 2025, developed by Abigail Favale, Ph.D., Professor of the Practice, Theology & Literature, at the McGrath Institute for Church Life.Featured Speakers:Melissa Moschella, University of Notre DameSr. Theresa Aletheia Noble, Sisters of the Little Way of Beauty, Truth, and GoodnessSister Ann W.

DescriptionYou are in for a treat today…you are about to enter “evangelizing catechesis heaven”. If there is one thing that I believe about teaching and preaching it is that “when you teach, preach!” Catechists can no longer (and this has been true for a long time) assume that the people they are teaching have a real life relationship with Jesus. So…all of our teaching has to be imbued with the core Gospel message. But HOW?? How do you do this? Well this is exactly what we dig deeply into today! And I am pumped for you to check it out!BioDr. James Pauley is Professor of Theology and Catechetics and editor of The Catechetical Review at Franciscan University of Steubenville. He is the author of two books focused on the renewal of catechesis: An Evangelizing Catechesis: Teaching from Your Encounter with Christ and Liturgical Catechesis in the 21st Century: A School of Discipleship . Dr. Pauley began working as a parish catechetical leader in 1989 and has served professionally in parish, diocesan, and university catechetical formation for more than thirty years. Having received his Doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Liturgical Institute at the University of St. Mary of the Lake in 2014, he enjoys serving as a frequent speaker in dioceses and parishes nationwide on a variety of topics related to evangelization, catechesis, and the transformative sacramental encounter.

AMDG. How can evolution be compatible with the Catholic faith? Professor of Biology at Franciscan University of Steubenville Daniel Kuebler argues that Catholic students should embrace the theory of evolution. Dr. Kuebler answers several objections to evolutionary theory, grounding his answers in the Catholic doctrine. The professor explains why we shouldn't be surprised by apparent conflicts (“The truth is bigger than our brains,” he says) and cautions students about two common pitfalls people fall into when discussing faith and evolution.

It's the end of an era. After five years, Father Dave and Deacon Bob gather for the very last episode of They That Hope. True to form, the conversation blends laughter, sorrow, and a steady focus on Christ. The guys begin with one last round of sports heartbreak (Notre Dame, Broncos, and a Buccaneers game that hasn't quite happened yet), plus Deacon Bob's double-dose weekend of Weird Al concerts. Then they shift to reflect on the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk. They wrestle with grief and division, recognizing how fragile life feels, and wonder aloud how silencing faith-filled voices only deepens the darkness. Their reflection reminds listeners that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and that true hope is found in forgiveness, mercy, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Finally, they wrap up by sharing heartfelt listener letters, favorite memories from the past five years, and their gratitude for everyone who joined them at the “podcast table.” As they sign off with blessings and thanksgiving, Father Dave and Deacon Bob leave us with the reminder that hope does not disappoint—because the love of God has been poured into our hearts. Highlighted Sections (00:00) A Final Episode Begins Father Dave and Deacon Bob kick off their last recording with gratitude and laughter. The bittersweet tone is lightened by jokes about Notre Dame football and whether ending the podcast jinxed their favorite teams. It's a familiar start for a farewell filled with humor and heartfelt reflection. (03:47) Weird Al, Walk-On Songs, and Family Fun Deacon Bob shares his weekend of back-to-back Weird Al concerts, complete with Stormtroopers, “Amish Paradise,” and plenty of costume changes. The story turns tender as he recalls memories of singing parodies with his kids, now grown. Father Dave teases along the way, but it's clear these goofy songs carry a deep family legacy. (12:39) Grief and Division After Charlie Kirk's Shooting They then turn to recent news: the shooting of Charlie Kirk. They talk about his willingness to engage in dialogue, how violence eats away at our sense of safety and unity, and how we sometimes silence or dismiss voices that carry hope for fear of disagreement. Despite the pain this brings, they look for grounding in Scripture—especially the call to love even our enemies as part of the Christian witness. (22:08) Forgiveness, Mercy, and Real Hope Building on the previous reflection, Father Dave and Deacon Bob draw from Deacon Bob's homily and the testimony of Immaculée Ilibagiza to explore what it means to respond in a Christ-like way. In times when the world feels fractured, mercy and forgiveness become the clearest sign of that hope we proclaim. (35:44) Listener Letters, Thank-Yous, and Final Blessing Fans write in to share how the podcast shaped their faith, lightened their burdens, and even sparked personal transformation. Father Dave and Deacon Bob laugh through memories, thank their families and the Franciscan University team, and offer one last blessing. They end as they began five years ago—reminding us that hope does not disappoint, because God is faithful. Resources Mentioned “The Saga Begins” by Weird Al Yankovic – Bob's family favorite parody Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculée Ilibagiza “The Light Shines In The Darkness” – Father Dave's recent Daily Wire op-ed reflecting on Charlie Kirk FaithAndReason.com – ongoing Catholic resources from Franciscan University of Steubenville

Our guest on this episode is Joey Pontarelli who is the founder and president of Restored, a ministry that helps teens and young adults who come from divorced or dysfunctional families heal and build virtue so they can avoid repeating that cycle and build a better life. Joey holds a bachelor's degree in finance from Franciscan University of Steubenville and an MBA from Benedictine College. Joey recalls growing up in a large Italian family with five boys and one girl. His early life was permeated with sports, whether he was goofing around with his siblings or playing an organized sport. He played club volleyball in college. Around age 11, Joey's life drastically changed when his parents separated and eventually divorced. He recounts the feelings, problems, and struggles he encountered during this time in his life. Joey explains what changed in his life and how his return to God and the Church helped him. Joey felt there was a lack of resources for him when his parents divorced. After much prayer and spiritual direction, he felt called to start Restored. Joey is passionate about helping teens and young adults with resources which he highlights on the Restored website. The most popular resource on the Restored website is the podcast. Other popular resources are a book entitled “It's Not Your Fault” and a guide “7 Tips on Building a Thriving and Divorce-Proof Marriage”. These are only a few of many resources on the Restored website. Joey also talks about how sports is a great tool to help the healing process while building virtues necessary for healthy relationships. Joey ends the podcast with practical advice for people who are, or were, in broken families and for people who are in intact families who want to help a friend who might be going through a difficult time in their family. If you find yourself anywhere on this continuum (that's practically everybody), this podcast and Restored just might be for you.

Father Dave and Deacon Bob come to this episode with heavy hearts, reflecting on the recent church shooting in Minnesota. They share Archbishop Bernard Hebda's moving words of hope, grapple with the reality of evil, and talk about the call to persistent prayer. It's a sobering reminder of the world's brokenness—and of the hope Christians cling to when sorrow feels overwhelming. Yet, even in hard weeks, these two help listeners find joy and laughter: Notre Dame heartbreak, Ohio State bragging rights, Alabama's shocking stumble, the NFL's opening buzz, Taylor-and-Travis engagement memes, and even the joyfully bizarre antics of the Savannah Bananas. They also pause to look back on five years of They That Hope—from pandemic beginnings to Deacon Bob's ordination and Franciscan University's bold “Step in Faith” initiative—grateful for the unexpected gift of sharing life and faith through this podcast. As the show nears its final stretch, listeners are invited to share their favorite memories. Through it all, the reminder is the same: true hope isn't found in scores or headlines, but in Christ who never abandons his people. Highlighted Sections (00:00) From Heartbreak to Hope The episode opens with Father Dave and Deacon Bob holding space for the deep grief caused by the Church of the Annunciation shooting in Minnesota and offer prayers for the victims. (01:21) Football Woes, Memes, and Bananas Notre Dame loses, Ohio State gloats, Alabama falls to an unranked team, and the NFL season is about to kick off. Along the way, the guys joke about Bill Belichick's off-field drama, laugh through Taylor-and-Travis engagement memes, and tip their hats to the always-entertaining Savannah Bananas. (12:03) Five Years, Countless Laughs (and a Few Tears) With the podcast coming to a close, Father Dave and Deacon Bob rewind to its pandemic origins and how simple recorded conversations grew into a ministry of encouragement. They reflect on their friendship, their ministry together, and the joy of bringing hope and humor into uncertain times. (20:33) Bob's Ordination Flashbacks & Dave's Bold Moves Deacon Bob shares how COVID unexpectedly deepened his vocation and shaped his path to the diaconate. Father Dave remembers Franciscan University's “Step in Faith” initiative and the surprising blessings that flowed from those bold decisions. (26:26) Standing in Prayer Amid Tragedy Returning to the heartbreaking story from Minnesota, the hosts emphasize intercession when words fall short, the nature of evil, share the archbishop's words of hope, and why the Christian response is always prayer, action, and steadfast hope in God. (35:01) Closing Prayer and Listener Memories A prayer for Minnesota and an invitation for listeners to share favorite moments from the show. Resources Mentioned Archbishop Bernard Hebda Statement — press conference remarks after Minnesota tragedy The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis – referenced in reflection on evil Step in Faith initiative – Franciscan University program launched during COVID Savannah Bananas– proof that baseball is better with dancing umpires "How Can We Not Pray?” — Father Dave's Washington Examiner op-ed on the reality of evil and prayer In Person episodes with Heather Khym and Ryan Anderson — two recent interviews Father Dave did on Faith and Reason.
