Join us in our conversation of how our families have been incorporating faith in our "new normal." We also discuss ways to navigate conversations about faith with kids of all ages as well as digital resources that can bolster our faith.

Stacy & Rachel discuss the concept of redemption and the struggles modern Catholics and Christians have when trying to accept this reality. We also stumble into tangents regarding confession, anointing of the sick and how to navigate our current toxic climate and turning to God when we are faced with conflict and strife amongst our loved ones.
