When you've outgrown your high school friends or moved across the country post-grad, finding new friends can seem like an impossible feat. How do you meet people during COVID? How do you get to know someone on a deeper level? What if we don't click at first? In today's episode, I'm inviting you into my struggle of making friends post-grad in a new city. Over the past 4 months I have cycled through every emotion. What began as an excuse, "I don't have time for new friends", turned...

Pope Francis has proclaimed 2021 as the year of St. Joseph, and upon his announcement he released a beautiful apostolic letter titled Patris Corde, or With a Father's heart, that aims to increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal. In today's episode, we will discuss this letter, and get to the heart of St. Joseph's fatherly role in our lives . I am very excited to welcome Nathan Crankfield to the podc...

Does Instagram and Tik Tok rule your life? Or do you allow God the time and space to tell you who you are and who you were created to be? While many of us (me included) would hate to admit it, we often allow others (especially on social media) to determine how we see ourselves. While the influence of people around us is important, we have to focus on community over competition. Our differences are meant to bring us together, not tear us apart through comparison. If you feel the pressure to lo...

Have you ever felt convicted about something, whether it be a relationship, college decision, or job, only to be completely caught off guard when you find out it's not what God intended for you? Instead of questioning every decision you've ever made, rest assured that God knows exactly what we need to bring us closest to His heart. Today's conversation is inspired by an article from The Young Catholic Woman titled, "When Your One Actually Wasn't The One", written by Sarah Kozak, today's guest...

Trainer, health coach, and podcast host, Tanner Hobbs, joins me today to bring hope to your struggle with body image.

We will always be battling the idea that we are only as good as our looks. But anytime we base our self-worth on our appearance, we are going to struggle with confidence. No beauty standard will ever change the fact that each and every one of us has been created as an unrepeatable child of God. Joining me today to remind us of these truths and more is Lilly Fallon. Lilly is going to debunk your misconceptions of what a feminine Christian woman has to look like, and remind you that your person...

Today, I'm asking all the questions you've been too nervous to ask regarding chastity and Christian dating. While every chastity talk tells you, "save sex for marriage", they don't always answer the more difficult questions like, how do you fight sexual temptation? What is emotional chastity? And of course the biggest question, how far is too far? Today's guest is Culture Project missionary, Emily Harpole. Emily is a 2019 college grad from Benedictine College, and she has spent the past year ...

Who out there feels like their story is too simple or too ordinary to share with others? Do you even know what your story is or the smallest step in beginning to share it?

But what if I told you that your story is important, and you have the opportunity to build connection and achieve success, simply by sharing more of yourself. Would you believe me? Today I am joined ...
