Fiat: Faith in All Things

The cause for a phone call, intuition, and a few cryptic Instagram updates from last week serves as the backdrop to this week's podcast featuring Superman. It's the first part of a conversation about how God can use big events to reach us.

There's been a lot going on in my life: postpartum anxiety, my in-laws celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and the passing of my uncle. All of these things collided in my brain to produce a podcast full of my musings on life.

Back to school is upon us! Back to school can be an chaotic time while simultaneously it's also an exciting return to structure. Today we briefly touch on the idea of a fluid back to school morning routine, chat about the ultimate way to buy school supplies, and end with a prayer.

Check out the blog post for today's podcast at www.hailmarry.org to access two free printables: a prayer for your child's teacher (prayed on the podcast) and Bible verses for the new school year.

Happy back to school!

Some weeks go by without much happening. It's a slow news cycle. For we American Catholics, that was not the case this week! In fact, even the secular news media kind of overwhelmed us with Catholic news! Today's podcast is on the shorter side, as Kristi chats about Ex-Cardinal Archbishop Theodore McCarrick and Pope Francis's change to the Catechism of the Catholic Church regarding the death penalty.

I am so excited to chat with you today about one of my charisms: hospitality. A charism, if you don't know, is a gift from the Holy Spirit. It's how you evangelize. It energizes you. One of mine is opening my home to people and loving them with food & fellowship.

In today's podcast, I'll give you my top four tips for sharing hospitality with strangers.

Kristi is on the podcast today chatting about Little Miss's charitable heart, her birthday party, and how to instill charity in our children-complete with a new intro and organization!

Hello, hello! It's a lovely Friday: perfect for a chat about praying with your spouse. We've been chatting a lot about this lately, but it's because you've shown a need for us to do so. Praying for my spouse is one thing. Praying with him? That's a different story. Today Kristi shares some quick thoughts on the matter.

Summer is a magical time when our schedules have a little more flexibility in them. Kristi shares how to implement new takes in your faith in the summertime in today's podcast.

Today we're tackling NFP, from doubt to acceptance to frustration with it and back again. So...this one isn't for all ears. Although not overtly explicit or graphic, this one we're going to rate S for spouses. It is NOT graphic or explicit, but please listen to this away from your children.

June brings a lot to the Hail Marry table! Kristi is doing the $100 Weekly Grocery Challenge and we just launched a brand new logo today after working with Jessica Connolly of Telos Art & Telos Design...plus the podcast returns! We're so excited to be back!

Little Miss is our guest co-host today so she can talk about initial thoughts and then reactions to becoming a big sister after 8.5 years of only child-dom.

She even enlists your help! You don't wanna miss this one.
