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!

How can we help others shift from a maintenance mindset to a missional one? It starts with prayer and reflection but also requires creating an environment where people feel safe to explore new ideas and take risks. Encouraging continuous learning is key. By embracing new knowledge and experiences, we can deepen our faith and learn to live it out more fully. This journey of growth breaks down silos, builds stronger relationships, and fosters a vibrant, mission-oriented community. Join me as I sit down with Fr. Dave Belt, Pastor of St. Stephen the Martyr in Omaha, to discuss the transformative power of learning. He shares personal stories, effective team-building practices, and insights on fostering a sense of purpose and mission, Discover how helping others see their efforts as part of something larger and more meaningful can inspire a dynamic, responsive, and Gospel-rooted Church—the Church that God is calling us to be.

Join us as we explore this and much more with Dr. Matthew Carey Jordan, the newly appointed Vice President of Academic Affairs at Borromeo Seminary and St. Mary's Seminary and Graduate School of Theology. Dr. Jordan shares his compelling journey from his evangelical background to embracing Catholicism, and discusses his ambitious plans to enhance intellectual formation programs for both clergy and laypeople at the Seminary. Dive into his vision of creating new avenues for Catholics to deepen their faith and understanding in the 21st century, moving beyond traditional degree programs.In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into how being in a now apostolic age can inspire modern evangelism and the crucial role of contextualizing the gospel message for today's audiences.

Sit back and join us on an enlightening journey as we welcome the new converts to our Catholic family! We'll share some inside jokes, celebrate milestones like Nick's six-year anniversary as a Catholic, and look back at the awe of the Easter Vigil – imagine a sea of candlelight and that moment of joy when the Gloria reveals the unveiled statues. And for those of you who might be worried, we promise not every Mass will stretch as long as the Vigil.This episode isn't just about introductions; it's a deep exploration of where faith meets everyday life. We wade into the waters of political kingdoms, debating if Christ had plans for political influence and how pre-Vatican II teachings compare with today's Catholic approach. From Christendom to American liberalism, we unpack it all, including a conversation on the often misunderstood concept of Christian nationalism and our case for integralism. And let's not forget technology; could we be heading towards a life of bug diets and pod living? We debate the consequences of our digital dependencies, even as we ponder the purity of a life less connected.Wrapping up, we understand that faith is also about community, and here we lay it all out for our fellow believers, especially the young adults and recent converts. Hear about our personal struggles with loneliness and how vital it is to build those bridges within the Church. We even offer practical advice for finding your spiritual footing through St. Francis de Sales' teachings. Plus, stay tuned for our potential sit-down with the author of "The Boniface Option," bringing a new yet familiar perspective to Catholic thought. Join us for this rich tapestry of faith, culture, and connection – it will be a soul-stirring ride.Support the show********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon

Did you watch the SEEK talk that broke the internet this year? Today's guest is the man who gave that talk, Monsignor Shea. At the age of 34, Monsignor Shea became the youngest college president in the United States, appointed to the University of Mary in Bismarck. Today, we discuss his book, From Christendom to Apostolic Mission, which has been passed around through many Catholic circles.

Jayce and Alex sit down with their former pastor, Father Jim Goins. Father Goins is currently pastor of Saint Eugene Catholic Church in Oklahoma City. Have you ever found yourself reminiscing over college hijinks, then moments later pondering the profound life lessons they taught you? That's exactly the adventure we embark upon with Father Jim Goins, whose stories golf courses, puppies and pulpit pranks lead into pondering the questions: what role does vision play in leadership? Do you have to be a visionary to be a leader? How do you know if your vision is something even worth pursuing? Listen for all that, and more!************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

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. The group also explores the power of the Gospel, the concept of rescue, and the role of a  missionary. ************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

The youngest of nine children born of a devout Irish-Catholic mother, Sister Mary Michael Fox entered the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia (Nashville) at age 21, and has served in the community's primary apostolate of teaching for over 30 years. After being trained as a catechist for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, Sister Mary Michael was so intrigued by its approach that she conducted doctoral research into the nature of its pedagogy. In February 2023, she published her research in a book, Following God's Pedagogy: Principles for Children's Catechesis (LTP, 2023). Sister Mary Michael currently serves at the Congregation's Retreat House in Dickson, Tennessee as both Martha and Mary: cooking, cleaning, and assisting with any of practical needs during retreats, and intercessory prayer before, during, and after each retreat.

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
