After being on Instagram for awhile, we noticed this one young priest kept engaging with our content...so we asked him to be on the podcast! We sat down with Father Edwin Cardona to chat about his life in the priesthood, the joys & struggles, what it's like being an ordinary Catholic who is also a priest, and more! 

Our next installment of our series on the Sacraments features the daunting Sacrament of Reconciliation (dun-dun-DUN!). We're chatting about what it is, what it isn't, how it works, how to prepare, as well as sharing funny, awkward, and horror stories from our own experiences with confession. Grab some coffee and hang out with us as we discuss: The Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Let's talk Lent! What we like, what we don't, what we've given up, what we refuse to give up (well, what Joanna won't give up), and more! We're also starting an online Bible study together! If you'd like to join, DM us on Instagram @anordinarycatholic to join the family!

We all know that feeling of having an epic week or weekend somewhere and how difficult it is to come back to reality.  In today's episode we're talking about practical tips to ease back into the real world while still holding on to the awesomeness of retreat experiences! We're joined by Lauren from Not the Only One who shares her tips as well!

It's almost Lent! We're chatting about Ash Wednesday, how it started & how it's going...

Haley is hopping on today to talk about Catholic life as a college student, meeting her husband and working through a long distance marriage while they both were in grad school, and about her work as a physical therapist! We love chatting with other Ordinary Catholics and are excited to introduce you to our friend, Haley! 

We know what the Eucharist is, but why do we have this thing called Adoration? How is it different than communion or from Jesus in the tabernacle? We're giving the basics of adoration in this episode; with some nerd references to give some context, of course.

It's a bird, it's a fire, it's...God? The Holy Spirit is the most mysterious part of the Trinity. Is it because He wears an invisibility cloak? Just kidding. We're talking about this epic part of the Trinity in today's episode in an attempt to get to know Him a little bit better!

We are taking a closer look into each of the Sacraments starting with Baptism! Oftentimes as ordinary Catholics we only know what we're taught as kids in CCD or Faith Formation or PREP or whatever they call it these days, but do we actually know and understand why we do everything we do at a Catholic baptism?

We are starting off the year with a Coffee Date with Josie from Wanderfully Made Art! She and her husband travel around the country for work and all the while, she creates STUNNING art! Take a listen as we talk about her travels, her art, her inspiration, and all of the nerdy things we like too!
