The Anti-Mary is a Spirit Not a Person with Carrie Gress - Ep065

October 17, 2019 22:12 - 1 hour - 57.1 MB

This is not your typical interview with Carrie Gress about her book The Anti-Mary Exposed. I really tried to take this discussion with Carrie in a different direction than how other interviews go. Carrie allowed me to dig deeper and focus on the spiritual aspect of this movement rather than it being an attack on any one type of person. We reveal the issue and offer the answer, the Blessed Virgin Mother. Also, we are reaching out our hands and hearts to offer healing and encouragement for th...

Words of Wisdom We Ought Just Ignore - Laura Hanby Hudgens EP064

September 30, 2019 21:40 - 51 minutes - 47 MB

Have you ever heard a piece of "wisdom" that has been passed on for generations? For example, "You can do anything you put your mind to" or "Do what makes you happy". While these words can feel encouraging in a moment of stress, they may not be the most sound and virtuous ways to go about discerning life decisions. Laura Hudgens, a writer, junior high teacher, momma, and my friend, sits down with me as we talk through several of these little sayings. As referenced in one of her Grown and ...

The Heart of Perfection with Colleen Campbell EP063

September 17, 2019 11:04 - 47 minutes - 45.3 MB

Do you ever feel like you are never good enough? You strive and strive. You make the tough choices. You practice virtue but can't find the joy of obedience you have been promised? What have we been missing all along? I have got a podcast for you! Sometimes there are books that just pierce the heart. Sometimes there are authors that instantly connect to readers. For myself, this is the book and this is the author. I could not wait to interview Colleen and dig, all the more, into what it loo...

Closing Our Homeschool: What God Taught Me this Past Year Ep061

June 09, 2019 18:27 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB

I love homeschooling. I have been so thankful for all the years we had together, as a family, in that particular way. We had many successes and also many bumps along the way. It was such a blessing until it wasn't anymore. Our family needed to close up shop and pursue other avenues of education. In this episode, I am NOT preaching school choice -- that choice is a specific privilege for each family. Rather, I do share that what God has shown me, how he has consoled me, and the ways he has h...

June 17, 2018 19:35 - 44 minutes - 62.8 MB

“Humanae Vitae made me embrace the Church again”. These words spoken by our guest, Mallory Smyth of ENDOW, are both gripping and also echo the hearts of many women whose hearts have been touched by the profound words of Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae.

Happy Mother’s Day to all those who have built up and nurtured others as either physical mothers or spiritual mothers. On the heels of our 2 episodes about the occult and New Age, we decided that it was a good idea to go ahead and release this episode a week early. (We may take the whole month of June off, haha :)) We heard from so many of you telling us how those previous episodes had helped you and are now looking for the next step. Of course, as we have said so many times, Confession is...

May 07, 2018 01:26 - 47 minutes - 66.7 MB

Episode 43: New Age and the Occult – Sue Brinkmann Part 1

April 30, 2018 01:45 - 37 minutes - 52.4 MB

Yoga, Enneagram, New Age, Mindfulness. Every time these topics came up as one to address, it always came with a huge hesitation. The New Age movement within Christendom is quickly becoming an undeniably divisive and dangerous issue. We knew that if we were to do this well, we needed someone to help us wade through these waters by giving solid statistics and years of experience. Sue Brinkmann was our first choice. Sue reminds us so beautifully that when people get caught up in the New Age or ...

Episode 39: Sin

March 05, 2018 01:29 - 45 minutes - 64.1 MB

God loves us with a reckless love and He call us to be holy and to be perfect as the father in heaven is perfect. The commands are repeated in Scripture, old and new.  How do we balance all these Truths? “Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation;a]">[a] the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;” (2 Cor 5: 17-18a). Last week we shared about the Church’s tea...

Episode 37: Christopher West – Part 2

February 19, 2018 01:34 - 41 minutes - 57.9 MB

This sin of objectification is truly hurting us all, men and women alike. Women have been taught they can use their body to manipulate others and men have been sold the lie that they are just naturally lustful and are hopeless to change. But, the Christ – centered, good news message St. John Paul II delivered during his Wednesday addresses tells us something very different. In Part 2 of our conversation with Christopher West, we go deeper into the meaning of Theology of the Body and how “we ...

While we may grow in virtue, our loved ones benefit also.” -Megan Schrieber With Lent fast (get what I did there??) approaching, Becky gives Megan a shot in the arm and a kick in the bo...

January 29, 2018 01:38 - 44 minutes - 62 MB

Have you ever heard of this term, Lectio Divina, and wondered what in the world it meant? Have you ever thought you’d like to learn how to get into the Scriptures in a deeper way?

Episode 30: Modesty, The Full Story – Damon Owens

November 29, 2017 14:49 - 1 hour - 90 MB

“Every virtue, every firm habit to do good is far more powerful than any vice that pulls us away from the true joy of God.

Special Episode: In-Laws

November 15, 2017 20:21 - 32 minutes - 45 MB

In-law jokes and in-law bashing seems to be en vogue among the married population. When Megan and Becky were asked to do an interview by best-selling author and speaker, Carrie Gress, about the role of in-laws in our lives, we realized how much this topic is not covered in the media and decided to do an extra podcast on the topic. With the holidays coming and more time with family, the topic seems even more timely. You can read the original article here and then listen to us expound on the i...

Many of us are likely very familiar with this week’s guest, but you may not know all of her story.

Episode 27: LTC – The Church

November 06, 2017 01:15 - 34 minutes - 47.8 MB

“The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ He says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church’…On him He builds the Church, and to him He gives the command to feed the sheep; and although He assigns a like power to all the Apostles, yet He founded a single chair, and He established by His own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was; but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is b...

Episode 26: The Church – Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

October 30, 2017 01:00 - 55 minutes - 77.4 MB

Why is the Catholic Church who She says She is? When Paul wrote to Timothy in Chapter 3 of 1 Timothy, why did he tell him that “the church” was the pillar and foundation of truth and it would tell how one ought to behave in the household of God? Who is this church? Who leads it? Who protects the teachings? How can we trust it? On the 500th anniversary of the protestant revolution, we knew Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers was the man for the job to answer these questions. As Catholic women striving...

Episode 25: LTC – Healing the Father Wound with Candice Ruttner-Duryear

October 23, 2017 02:04 - 52 minutes - 73.2 MB

This is our final episode of peeling back the onion of the father wound. If you’ve listened to the previous episodes, a father wound can really relate to any wound from many different types of trauma. Since this is the Lead the Conversation piece of our podcast series, this is where we address questions and comments from our treasured listeners. And because neither Megan nor Becky are licensed professionals, they decided to bring in a little bit of back-up. Well, alot of back-up. Candice Rut...

Episode 22: LTC – The Marian Option

October 02, 2017 03:04 - 33 minutes - 47.3 MB

We sure have been mulling over this word, meekness.  Have you?  For the most part, that virtue has been a bit of a challenge for us women to fully and freely accept and practice.

September 25, 2017 02:30 - 56 minutes - 78.3 MB

Living in this post Christian culture, many have offered options for us to live out the Gospel and to fight this civilization of decay.
