Is loneliness a bad thing? For some, it is driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) and envy from what their peers are experiencing. For others, it is an absence of connecting to others through our senses. Jo and John break down this dilemma during Covid-19 and the holidays, and how we can use loneliness to further meditate with Christ since he also experienced loneliness.

In honor of the year of St. Joseph and in celebration of the feast of the Holy Family, we dedicate this episode to all of those who live ordinary, yet holy, lives. This is great timing as we approach Christmas in the next few days. Have you ever wondered why it was a manager in a stable that Jesus was born? Listen to Jo and John to find out!

Yes, COVID has forced us into a quiet Christmas away from the busyness of years past, but it is also a blessing! Time for us to slow down and be still. Time for us to reflect on Christ’s birth. Time for us to spend with our family, and get back to the true meaning of the season. Jo and John talk about some suggestions for how you can celebrate this year.

Yes, it’s a real fear. For some couples, they choose contraception to avoid becoming parents, and for those couples living together before marriage, it is preventing them from discerning the vocation of marriage. Why do we have a fear and how can we overcome it? Listen to Jo and John share their experiences and suggestions.

How many of you have wrestled for authority in your home? Jo openly shares her personal struggles of balancing power and authority in her marriage, and her realization that she’s been pushing her husband out of the way. Can you relate? How can scripture help us? Listen in as Jo and John weigh in and encourage you to be strengthened in God’s design and grace.

Thanksgiving is a great time to not only be thankful for our blessings, but to reminisce about our childhood. From making homemade stuffing to watching the annual parade to sharing the holiday with friends and family...we can all express gratitude about something. This is especially important this year, since many have struggled in one way or another.

During the last episode, we discussed grace from the sacrament of marriage. But why does our faith call us to follow a particular order, including marriage IN THE Church, rather than the beach or other locations? What does sex communicate to our spouse? Why is it good and necessary? Join Jo and John in today’s discussion.

Jo and John talk about the grace we receive from the sacrament of marriage. They both share their experiences, including marriage preparation, cohabitation, and the roles we take on as husband and wife. But more importantly, they explain why we need God and should encourage our loved ones to enter into the sacrament.

The election is just around the corner! As Catholics we are challenged with how to vote and how to share our viewpoints with others. Katalyst is a new nonprofit that was created to empower the laity in the public square. Executive Director Kelly Dore is in the studio to share her experiences, empower Christians to live first by faith, and provide non-partisan resources that we can utilize today!
