The Everyday Saint

Sainthood isn’t optional and your path to it is absolutely necessary.

In this episode, I sit down with Connor McLaughlin (@connormclaughlin__) to talk about what it actually means to become a saint in real life...not someday, not abstractly, but here and now.

This conversation challenges the idea that someone else will discern your mission for you, confronts the temptation to reduce faith to consumption or content, and invites you to ask a harder question: What if God is waiting on your yes?

Perhaps if everyone lived this way, sainthood wouldn’t feel radical, it would be the default.

Joseph is a 20-year-old who has walked through profound life changes and learned what it means to rely deeply on God in the midst of them. In this episode, he shares the story of his birth family, his adoption, and the ways God’s hand has been present in his life from the very beginning.

He also opens up about discerning the priesthood: what seminary life is really like, and what it means to step away when God redirects your path. This conversation is a powerful witness to God’s providence and the grace that can be found in every circumstance.

What does it really mean to be called by God? What is it to hear His voice and to actually follow it?

Eve sits down with Sr. Inga of the Congregation of Our Lady of Mercy for an honest and deeply human conversation about vocation, encounter, and learning how to show up before God as you are. Sr. Inga shares her multiple year long journey to finding her vocation, how God “casts us into the net” of His will, and why no two vocation stories ever look the same.

Together, they explore the misconception that religious life is only about sacrifice, and instead reveal the surprising joy of giving one’s life completely to God. This episode invites listeners to keep their eyes open for the signs God is placing in their own lives, and recognize the imprint of His love in everything.

2025 was the year of complete and total unexpected circumstances, and somehow we’re already weeks into 2026 wondering, okay God… what are You up to now?

In this episode, Eve and Shelby sit down for a relaxed, honest conversation reflecting on the lessons, surprises, and growing pains of 2025 and sharing the word God has placed on their hearts for 2026. No agenda, no pressure, just two friends yapping, laughing, and noticing where grace showed up when we least expected it.

From radical surrender and confident hope to courage, curiosity, and a theology of fun, this conversation explores what it looks like to live the next year with open hands and a deeper trust in God’s presence within us.

If you’re entering 2026 with questions, excitement, or a quiet sense that God is inviting you into something new, this one’s for you.

Sainthood isn’t optional and your path to it is absolutely necessary.

You pray, you try to trust, but sometimes it feels like God is silent. You start to wonder: "Am I supposed to keep pushing through this struggle... or is this His way of telling me to let go?" In this session, Eve Rosemary opens up about her own experience of watching her perfectly planned life fall apart and how God used it to draw her closer to His voice.

Together, we'll wrestle with the hard questions every Catholic faces: 

• What if I misheard God?
• How do I know if this suffering has purpose or if I'm forcing something not meant for me? 
• What does trusting God actually look like when I'm confused and disappointed? 

This session is for the student who feels stuck between perseverance and surrender, who wants to follow God's will but isn't sure where He's leading. Come be reminded that even when your plans crumble, God is still faithful, and His redirection is never His rejection.

Sometimes, things seem too hard to give to Jesus. Too emotionally taxing to relive, seemingly beyond control, or simply shameful.

Yet, Jesus is the best listener, our greatest confidant, our best friend. So, how can we get to the point where we feel confident sharing everything with Jesus? To see the movements of His heart in our daily lives?

This episode tackles handling suffering alongside Jesus, allowing ourselves to trust the Lord, and how to go to Jesus in a way that isn't looking for answers but seeking  to be present with Him.

In this episode, Taylor opens up about her powerful journey through heartbreak, discernment, and ultimately discovering God’s best for her. We talk about how to know when to keep dating someone (and when to walk away), what healthy discernment looks like in real time, and how to navigate the confusing middle ground of modern Catholic dating with clarity and peace.

Taylor also shares the vulnerable story of ending an engagement, how God rebuilt her heart in the quiet season that followed, and the unexpected way she met the man who would become her husband. God used the momentum from her time as a single girl to build @candid_communion and @candid_dating as a way for Catholic singles to connect & find their vocation!

Whether you’re single, newly dating, or trying to figure out your next step with someone, this episode offers real, honest, grace-filled advice for putting yourself out there, trusting God’s voice, and choosing love with intention.
