November 27, 2021our role as Christian parents in educating our children
send us a text via Fan Mail!
This is an interview I did on Martha Martha, my Catholic mom podcast, but the more I think about it, the more I wanted to share it here. My not-Catholic listeners seem to not mind the Catholic tangents I go on regularly, so here it is, guns ablazing.

Father Harrison is just too good not to share with this larger audience.

A fabulous interview with my dear friend Father Harrison, who podcasts over at https://www.clericallyspeaking.com/!

We delve into the Catechism of the Catholic Church...what is it, where did it come from and how it can teach us to be better parents...what is our role as Christians parents in educating our children. Father brings so much depth into the words of the Catechism, I'm so grateful for him helping me to unpack and understand my role better.

4:20 - What is the Catechism of the Catholic Church?
9:30 - The role of parents in the family
13:55 - When we feel inadequate and relying on grace
28:10 - Parents as first educators of their children
34:43 - Creating homes of tenderness, forgiveness, fidelity
42:43 - How to grow in virtue
1:01:17 - Giving good example and walking with our children
