In this episode of Unwritten, host Trevor Barreca sits down with Gayle Konderla to discuss the enduring legacy of her faithful Catholic grandparents and how their simple witness of love for God and family had the capacity to transform generations.

Whether you are seeking stories of God's grace and the movement of the Holy Spirit in the world, or looking for encouragement that simple acts of faithful love have a massive impact, this conversation will remind you of the profound gift of family life and how loving God together and living life together builds a lasting spiritual legacy.

What You’ll Hear:

• Gayle recounts growing up in Central Texas, surrounded by her large, interconnected extended family, detailing how her faithful grandparents raised 12 children (six boys and six girls), with the oldest son now being a bishop. She also shares a humorous childhood story where she and her cousin were caught by their "pious and strict grandmother" for breaking the Eucharist host after communion.
• The moving account of seeing her "fiery, very lively" grandmother battle cancer, and how her sincere and zealous love for God caused her to actually "come to life more" as she got sicker. Gayle reflects on how her grandmother's faith had an effect on their family and the community, confirmed by the hundreds of people who came to her funeral in 2012.
• The beautiful and challenging seven years after her grandfather was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, and how his 12 siblings—Gayle’s aunts, uncles—created a system to pull together and ensure he was constantly cared for. Gayle reflects on how even as he started to forget things, he never lost himself or forgot who his family members were or how much he loved them. His last words to her were, "I love you and I'm proud of you".
