Relatable Catholic

Some changes are harder than others. This is one of those.

The announcement of Fr. Andy’s move and parish changes has us feeling all sorts of ways… mostly sad. In this episode, Katie and Corey sit down with Father for an honest conversation about what it looks like to let go of something you love, hold onto faith, and trust God even when it’s difficult.

But as Pope John Paul II said, “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!”

The terrific trio is reunited! Corey and Fr. Andy are back, and we’re talking all things Holy Week—from Palm Sunday to the Easter Vigil. We break it down, make it relatable, and answer the important questions… like why Easter somehow involves bunnies and colored boiled eggs?

Holy Week is almost here and it’s not too late to prepare your heart.

In this solo episode, I reflect on Palm Sunday and the parable of the Prodigal Son, diving into what it means to return to God, let go of distractions, and truly walk with Jesus—even when it’s hard.

If Lent didn’t go as planned, you’re not alone… and there’s still time to come home!

Geoff Kaiser joins Katie this week as we dive into the life of St. Joseph and the powerful role he plays in fatherhood.  

We talk about what it truly means to lead a family in faith, how fathers can be a steady example of love and strength, and why St. Joseph is such a strong model of quiet leadership and trust in God.  

Also… just to clarify… St. Joseph was not physically with us for this episode 😂🙏 but we’re pretty sure he was there spiritually.

New episode of Relatable Catholic! I’m joined by Fr. Andy and a new guest - theology teacher and resident “liturgy guy,” Brandon Schetgen.

We break down the difference between solemnities, feast days, and memorials, and we dive into one of the Church’s most powerful Lenten devotions: the Stations of the Cross.

Let’s just say… I learned a lot. 😅 Whether you’ve always wondered why certain Masses feel “bigger” than others or you’re trying to enter into Lent with more intention, this conversation will give you clarity, depth, and maybe even a new appreciation for the rhythm of the Church year.

It’s a full house this week! Fr. Andy, Deacon Stan, and Anika Martens join Katie for a rich conversation as we continue diving into Lent.

We’re talking about how to find joy in the midst of darkness, what it really means to walk through the desert season with intention, and how Lent can deepen, not drain, our relationship with Jesus.

If you’ve ever struggled to balance sacrifice with hope, or wondered how to grow closer to Christ in the hard moments, this episode is for you.

Corey and Fr. Andy join me to talk St. Michael the Archangel, spiritual warfare (yes, it’s real), and why Lent is basically spiritual boot camp.

Are demons dramatic… or are we just spiritually distracted? Why does St. Michael always look like he’s stepping on someone? And how exactly do prayer, fasting, and confession protect us from spiritual attacks?

If you’ve ever rushed through the St. Michael Prayer or thought Lent was just about giving up chocolate - this one’s for you. 🛡️

This week it’s just Katie (and Carl 🐶) talking about Ash Wednesday and the heart of Lent.

Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can feel overwhelming before we even begin — so let’s strip it back to what really matters.

A shorter episode, a gentle start to the season, and a reminder that Lent isn’t about perfection… it’s about returning and growing.

Ever accidentally stood when everyone else sat? Returned the Sign of Peace a little too enthusiastically? Or witnessed something at Mass that still has you thinking about it years later?

In this episode, we’re sharing the awkward, funny, and very human moments that only happen at Mass. From honest mishaps to moments that live rent-free in our heads, this is a reminder that holiness and humanity often show up in the same pew.

Sharing our faith doesn’t always come naturally and for many of us, it can feel downright uncomfortable. In this episode of Relatable Catholic, Katie and Fr. Andy welcome back Corey Kettmann to unpack why living our Catholic faith publicly can feel awkward, where that fear comes from, and how to grow in courage over time.
