61. Things They Didn’t Ask During Marriage Prep (But Probably Should Have)

April 21, 2021 13:42 - 38 minutes - 36.1 MB

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about marriage and marriage prep. Marriage is a beautiful, joyful, challenging, thing. And we’re  all familiar with Church marriage prep programs designed to help engaged couples prepare to enter into the sacrament of marriage. With the proper mindset and preparation, a couple can increase their odds of having a strong, Christ-centered marriage. But no one is ever truly ready for what marriage brings. So today we’re talking about questions that they ...

60. Differences Between Tim and Sara

April 08, 2021 12:00 - 26 minutes - 25 MB

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re celebrating our differences. Often, we’re quick to recognize differences in how other people parent, practice Catholicism, and so much more. And once we see those differences, we can be even quicker to critique, criticize, gossip, or offer unsolicited advice and unwelcome opinions. And while we would never advocate for a relativistic approach to life, it’s important to celebrate and learn from our differences. So today, we’re talking about our differences. ...

So today we’re traveling to different countries to find ou...

57. I Miss Grown Up Movies

March 17, 2021 04:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about the movies we miss. Movies are great! Carrying on the centuries-old tradition of storytelling, movies can entertain us, allow us a brief escape to feel refreshed, and even inspire us. But as parents we rarely get to PICK the movies WE want. So today we’re logging out of Disney plus, turning off Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and saving the veggies in VeggieTales for dinner. Because today, we’re talking about grown up movies. Learn More: Visit o...

54. Your Grandma Lied to You About These Things

February 24, 2021 05:00 - 27 minutes - 25.7 MB

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about things your grandma lied to you about. Old wives tales: we’ve all heard them before; and they’re easy to believe.

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re finding inspiration from the lives of some pretty holy people. We’re talking about Saints, Blesseds, and other Holy people. Too often we think of Saints as people from hundreds or thousands of years ago.

So today we’re chatting about American Saints, Blesseds, and other Hol...

43. Scripture Verses for Parents

November 04, 2020 05:00 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MB

Today we’re diving into Scripture! As Catholics, we really ARE called to live Biblically - and sometimes we joke that Catholics “don’t know our Bibles” (as well as our Protestant brethren) which is all fine in jest - unless it’s true. We HAVE to have a relationship with the living Word of God, along with our love for Tradition and the Magisterium, to live out our lives and vocations as true Catholic Christians. Today we’re going to focus on Scripture verses that are helpful to us as parent...

40. Favorite Fall Activities

October 14, 2020 04:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MB

This is NOT your pinterest-perfect Fall episode. We need to stop romanticizing seasons. Fall is not what we see in the L.L. Bean catalogue.
