What happens after God forms us, we fall, and He restores us?

We learn to cooperate with grace.

In this episode, I’m talking about what grace actually is, the difference between sanctifying and actual grace, mortal and venial sin, and the practical ways we can live the life of grace through examination of conscience, Confession, the Eucharist, and the daily choice to begin again.

Because holiness isn’t something we manufacture. God gives the grace. We learn to say yes.

What happens when failure makes you question who you are and what comes next?

In John 21, Peter returns to fishing after his greatest failure, but Jesus meets him there and reminds him that his failure didn’t cancel his calling.

In this episode, I’m talking about identity, vocation, failure, and learning to recognize the thread God has been weaving through every season of our lives.

Reflect:

1. What thread has God been weaving through every version of your life?

2. What if the failure you thought disqualified you is actually part of your formation?

3. Are you asking God what’s next when He may simply be saying, “Follow me”?

What if the life you’re waiting to get through is the very life God is using to form you? In this episode, we’re talking about the lies that convince us our lives should look different than they do, and asking the Holy Spirit for the grace to see the now differently. Because your life isn’t interrupting your formation. It is your formation.

In this episode, I sit down with Aaron Myler to discuss the importance of serving others and how families can make the corporal works of mercy a natural part of everyday life. Aaron shares how he and his family intentionally create opportunities to serve, forming habits of compassion, generosity, and faith in the next generation. Whether you’re a parent, ministry leader, or simply looking for practical ways to put your faith into action, this conversation will inspire you to see service not as another task on your to-do list, but as a way of life.

The Holy Spirit is often the Person of the Trinity we understand the least—yet Jesus promised it would be better for us that He come. Audrey and returning guest Ivette Guzman explore who the Holy Spirit is, why His presence matters, and how He meets us as Advocate, Guide, and peace in the middle of life’s storms.

Holiness isn’t just for saints in stained glass—it’s for your ordinary, everyday life. In this episode, I sat down with my parish priest, Pastor Jim Stachacz (Our Lady of Lourdes, Malverne), to break down what the Church actually teaches about virtue—starting with the cardinal virtues (how we live well) and the theological virtues (how we live with God).

But we didn’t stop there.

We also talked honestly about what he hears most in confession… the patterns, the struggles, the things that quietly pull us away from God more than we realize.

This conversation gives you clarity:

– What virtue really looks like in daily life

– Where we tend to fall the most

– And how to begin living with more intentional sanctity, starting now

If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure how to grow spiritually—this episode is for you.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Jessica Gutierrez Arias, a young woman currently battling cancer, whose diagnosis became the turning point of her faith journey. Jessica shares how, in the middle of fear, suffering, and the unknown, she encountered Jesus in a deeply personal way. What could have led to despair instead became an invitation—to surrender, to trust, and to believe in God’s presence even when healing doesn’t look the way we expect.

Today’s episode is a little different—and honestly, really hopeful.

There’s been a lot in the news lately about a loud return to faith among Gen Z. But instead of just talking about the trend, I wanted to sit down with someone living it. I interviewed my cousin, Livar, who went from having no real faith life… to now being in love with Jesus in the Eucharist.

We talk about what her life looked like before, what sparked the shift, and what drew her specifically to the Catholic Church in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction.

If you’ve ever felt distant from God, unsure how to come back, or curious about why so many young people are turning toward the Church right now… this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we dive into the life of Saint Thérèse, a Carmelite nun who never left her convent, never performed miracles in the way we usually imagine… and yet became a Doctor of the Church.

So what made her so powerful?

Her “Little Way.”

A path of holiness built not on grand gestures, but on small acts done with great love. Hidden sacrifices. Quiet obedience. Radical trust .
