We have truly enjoyed the experience this podcast has brought. All of the friends, all of the learning about each of the Sacraments, different Saints, different people on their way to holiness...it's been a huge blessing. But as our faith formation year comes to a close, so does our need for this particular podcast. Reminisce with us about our favorite episodes, what we loved about doing this podcast, and what's next for Shannon & Joanna!

The last Sacrament in our series on the Sacraments! We spoke with James today about his experience with this Sacrament of Healing. He opened up about his Leukemia diagnosis and the grace & God moments he found throughout his treatment process. *James shares his particular experience with anointing of the sick, but his story is not reflective of everyone's anointing. Not everyone receives Blessed Consolation or the same mercies in the anointing.*

We sat down with our friend Father George to talk about the next Sacrament in our series on the Sacraments. He chats with us today about what Holy Orders looks like, what his own personal journey towards religious life looks like, and even shared some funny stories from his own ordination day! 

We're talking in circles about our girl Joan today! Hang out with us as we chat through the life of this epic chick.

Ever wanted to know what the Sacrament of Marriage looks like in the Church? How couples are prepared for marriage? What a nuptial mass looks like? We're talking about it all in today's podcast! 

Joanna took a group of teens & a priest backcountry camping with COR Expeditions a few years ago and she's doing it again this summer! Sharing all about the trip from the adventures they went on, how the group encountered Christ along the way, and of course--answering all of those questions everyone has but no one wants to ask, Joanna opens up about the trip! 

Next up on our Sacrament series, we're talking about the final sacrament of initiation: Confirmation! We talk logistics of what it is, how it work, and share some funny stories from the Confirmations we've been at & helped prepare.

Every family has their own Triduum and Easter traditions and in today's episode, we are sharing ours! 

Probably one of the most confusing Sacraments to understand is the Sacrament of the Eucharist. In today's episode we're discussing what it is, what it isn't, why we use the elements we do, how it works, the history of the bread we start with, what the heck "transubstantiation" is anyway, and more! 

May the odds be ever in your favor....we're diving into the history of the Hunger Games as it pertains to Ancient Rome--the same time that Jesus was alive! We're discussing all of the scriptural references, works of mercy, historical references, and more in this special episode featuring the book series we love so much!
