Love the point about living tradition of our Catholic faith. Where would we be without it
In need of break up advice, I randomly searched “break up advice Catholic” and this podcast showed up. The episode on messy break ups was fantastic and super insightful. Now I find myself listening to the rest of the podcasts! This couple is genuine, wise, and you can hear the peace in their voices when they speak. It is evident they are grace-filled and have beautiful relationships with the Lord. Super insightful and I plan to share with friends! I’m a former FOCUS missionary myself, so love he... more
Thank-you for all the hard work you do to bring the Good Word to others. May God bless you both and your famly abundantly.
Joseph and Crystal, great podcast! I look forward to new episodes. In our world that’s forgetting how to have conversations, your reflections (and even your conversational example) are so helpful for fighting back.
I loved your podcast on Humanae Vitae, and I hope you do more on that document.
Joseph and Crystal feel like my close friends since listening to this podcast!! I recommend it to all of my students I work with and my boyfriend and I listen to each new episode to discuss over FaceTime. You are both such a gift to the new evangelization!
