 💡 This episode is powered by John Paul the Great Academy.

In this episode of Can I Get an Amen, Kristi sits down with Jason Angelette and co-hosts Eddie and Katie Cramer to explore how faith, love, and suffering shape authentic Christian marriage. Jason shares the powerful story of how his late wife, Elise, drew him deeper into his relationship with God, and how that journey eventually led him into full-time ministry serving couples across the country.

This episode's conversation reveals how true fulfillment is not found in success, comfort, or even in our spouse—but in a living relationship with Jesus that then overflows into marriage, family, and community.

Rooted in the teachings of St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, this episode reflects on how prayer, the sacraments, and intentional presence are the foundations of strong marriages and healthy families.

This Episode Explores:

• Why we often try to fill a “God-shaped hole” with people instead of God
• The danger of turning our spouse into an idol rather than an icon
• What it means to pursue your spouse long after the wedding day
• How prayer, Eucharist, and reconciliation form the spiritual core of marriage
• Why retreat and rest are essential for renewal in busy family life
• The importance of becoming a lifelong student of your spouse

Ever feel a little lost? Like you’re wandering through the woods of life, unsure of the path ahead? In this episode of Can I Getta Amen?, we dive into a story about literally getting lost in the woods—and the spiritual lessons that came with it.

Whether you’re hunting, working, or just trying to make it through the week, there’s a spiritual nugget here for everyone. Join us as we laugh, reflect, and discover how God’s light can always guide us home.

During this episode Josh and Kristi look at Genesis 2:15 and learn that from the very beginning, our purpose wasn’t to escape the world—but to tend it with God. 

Key Takeaways:

• Even when lost or uncertain, God’s light guides us if we trust Him.
• Stillness and patience are as important as action in our faith journey.
• Ordinary life—jobs, relationships, daily routines—is where God meets us.
• Faith is about trusting God through the unknown and embracing your everyday walk with Him.

In this episode, Kristi sits down with friend and behind-the-scenes collaborator Rob Kirkpatrick for a deeply honest conversation about storytelling, faith, burnout, vocation, and what it means to live with integrity.

Rob shares his journey from childhood dreams of broadcast journalism to working in radio, local news, and CNN, and eventually stepping away to build a life and career rooted in presence, freedom, and family. Along the way, they reflect on a faith that feels lived more than labeled, the quiet helpers who carry the light, and why sometimes you have to turn everything off to truly see God at work.

This is a conversation about calling, identity, and hope—especially for anyone who feels caught between expectations and authenticity.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Rob’s lifelong love of storytelling and how he found his way into broadcast journalism
• The behind-the-scenes realities of news, media, and burnout
• Hurricane Katrina, COVID, and being a steady presence when the world feels dark
• Faith vs. religion, and what it means to live faith without having all the answers
• The power of quiet helpers and unseen goodness
• Why identity is more than one label—and why that matters
• Taking the leap into entrepreneurship and redefining success
• Letting go of being “busy” and choosing presence instead

If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend who could use a little light right now.
