    • BC0031 - Catholic Marriage Prep / The Enneagram

      Today we talk to one of our Bellator contributors, Kristi Bentley, about marriage preparation.  What IS marriage preparation in the Church?  What kind of resources are there to help couples prepare for marriage?  When should people start preparing for marriage?  What if we didn’t get good marriage preparation when we were engaged?  Why does it even matter?  We talk about all these questions and SO much more.  Kristi is a gem and a treasure trove of insight on this topic.

        • BC0028 - The Price of a Golden Globe: Michelle Williams and Abortion

          This week we are talking about the Golden Globes acceptance speech given by Michelle Williams and her message of “choice.”  We analyze several direct quotations and discuss our thoughts on her meaning and how we can do a better job of communicating an authentically feminist and pro-life ethic.  We are joined by Forest Barnette who brings her own eloquence and thoughtfulness to the discussion.

          Things we talked about:
