Candid Catholic Convos 04-28-2024   SHOW DESCRIPTION:   Back then, it was something I just “did.” I went to church because my parents made me, same thing for Catholic school. It wasn’t until I was much older that I realized what they were giving me was a foundation to stand on, a home to come home to no matter how far I travelled. I want to lay the same foundation for my sons. How can we do our best, as parents and caregivers, as the hands and feet of Jesus, to teach the faith to others? Becky Davis, the family ministries coordinator for St. Joseph’s Parish in Mechanicsburg sits down with me to unpack all the wonderful resources available to those who want to learn and those who want to support others in their faith journeys.

Once the basket is empty and the eggs are all gone, does Easter really matter?  What if you get to Heaven, and God doesn’t even know you’re there?  What if your afflictions are all beyond what God would heal?  What if all of that is only distraction and the God of your heart would walk through walls just to have dinner with you?  If you’re ready for Christ to tear down everything between you, if you’re ready to give yourself over to the unrelenting hunger for you that is in God’s Heart, then be swept away with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they wait upon the Lord who would descend into the Valley of Death just to take your hand and lead you home.

Candid Catholic Convos 3.17.24   A weekly program produced by the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, Pa.   SHOW DESCRIPTION:    Few Catholic saints are as celebrated in the secular world as Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Everything turns green and those who may not be Irish in heritage become Irish at heart, celebrating the lore, leprechauns, and luck associated with the holiday. Saint Patrick is truly the man, the myth and the legend – so much so that some even forget he’s a saint, and why that title was bestowed upon him. So what makes him so memorable? Father Brommer, pastor of the Cathedral Parish of Saint Patrick here in Harrisburg and director of our office of Divine Worship joins me today to unpack what’s truth, what’s fiction, and how this legendary Saint became the patron of our Diocese.

Candid Catholic Convos 2.11.24 - REPEAT EPISODE   A weekly program produced by the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, Pa.   SHOW DESCRIPTION:   Sports are, in so many ways, like a religion. Like religion, sports can convey important lessons about culture and values. But as much as you could compare sports to organized religion, practicing your actual faith on the field, at least on a national level, was strongly discouraged, until a few weeks ago. So it begs the question – are faith and athletics intrinsincly linked? To unpack this, Eric Kindler, the former athletic director for Trinity High School, and Jordan Hill, Trinity’s head football coach and former NFL player in his own right, join me to talk about their journeys of faith and how in informs their leadership with the next generation of players.

Candid Catholic Convos - 2.4.24   SHOW DESCRIPTION:   In just 10 short days, we will begin the season of Lent – honestly it feels like Christmas was yesterday – and with that, comes meatless Fridays. Enter the local parish fish fry. This generations old practice has been a staple in Catholic communities dating back to prohibition when they were used to disguise speakeasies to keep the bars from going under financially and even further overseas. Just like at Christmas or Thanksgiving or birthdays or any given Tuesday, food is celebratory, it’s traditional, it brings us together. Friday Fish Frys are no different. But why fish? Why Fridays? And why did it change from no meat on every Friday to just no meat on Fridays during Lent? Today we’re welcoming back Father Jonathan Sawicki, pastor at St. Theresa’s church in New Cumberland to share with us the rich history of this tradition, why fish is the main dish, and how strong this ministry of Friday Fish Frys still is today.

Did you ever think praying the “Our Father” is the equivalent of sending this wild, crazy, unrestrained, unencumbered love letter to God?  Did you ever suspect that your whole life, God has been watching down the road, waiting for you to come home and be loved by Him?  Have you ever felt as though you have a thousand selfies on your phone but no idea what it’s like to trust in a love worthy of that trust?  If you feel done with gods who watch from a distance and are ready to be swept up in one who gave up everything to be one with you, then buckle up with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they seek to embrace a will divinely in love with you.

So many commandments.  So much to read.  So much to know.  So much that’s broken.  So much to do.  So much to fix.  So, what if none of that were the point?  What if God just whispered to you, “Remember when we first hung out, and everything felt so honest, and so real, and so easy?  Do you remember how we talked, and there was never enough time to say everything we wanted?  Can we do that, be that, again?  Can I just hang with you forever?”  What if God has whispered that to you, and you missed it?  If you’re ready to stop chasing after thrones and number yourself among those who long to be healed and embraced, then come pass some time with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they reflect on the God who delights most in our friendship.

Candid Catholic Convos 11.26.23 Message   SHOW DESCRIPTION:   Imagine if God took away everything you never said “thank you” for. Seriously, what if God took away everything you never said thank you for? Not just the big stuff either, the things we take for granted on a daily basis, the things we don’t even think about until they’re gone – like we don’t think about our health until we’re sick or we don’t think about the fact that we can run or walk until our knees hurt, right? So what are some ways we can practice appreciation for all the gifts God has given us? How can we really cultivate a disposition of gratitude daily, not just on Thanksgiving? We're excited to welcome back Sr. Geralyn Schmidt of the Sisters of Christian Charity to help me come up with some tangible ways to practice giving thanks in our daily lives.
