The Konza Catholic Podcast is a show connected to the Catholic Centers at Kansas State University and Wichita State University, where we talk about college ministry, the ordinary life of Catholicism, and much more!

In this episode, we talked about "Being a light" in the sense of bringing joy to those around us, and becoming more ourselves in the process.

What does "being a light" look like in a culture that runs from chastity and marital sanctity look like? Today, we bring you a candid dialogue with our esteemed guests, Ellen Holloway, a Catholic speaker with a focus on sexuality, and Kathleen Chamonis, a fertility awareness educator. They weave personal stories and Catholic teachings into a tapestry of understanding about the role of chastity in our lives and the boundless mercy and love of God.

In the second half, we shift gears towards the practice of chastity and formation in marriage. A particular focus is on college students' navigation of chastity and its profound impact on their future marital or religious life. Drawing on the wisdom of the church's teachings, we uncover the truth of trinitarian love mirrored in marriage and the sacred nature of sex. Furthermore, we extend a heartfelt invitation to everyone listening to become a light in their communities and engage with us on this transformative journey. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts or questions with us. We'd love to connect.

Join us in celebrating FOCUS’ 25th anniversary as we reflect on the past, express gratitude to all those who have walked with us, and look forward to continuing our mission of imitating Jesus and sharing the gospel with others.

On a frigid night, a spark ignited between two friends, Curtis Martin and Dr. Sri, blossoming into a movement that has redefined campus ministry. With just a passion for Christ, a Bible, and a borrowed chalkboard, the pair spearheaded FOCUS, a Catholic campus ministry that has grown exponentially over the last quarter-century. From Monday night Bible studies to training missionaries, we recount the humble beginnings and remarkable growth of Focus, an inspiring tale of faith in action.
