In the Beginning - feat. Marianne Weltmer, Dir. of Life & Dignity

Our God goes by many names, but sometimes we forget He is also a Creator. He created a pretty big something from absolutely nothing, and made it beautiful, powerful. He entrusted us to take care of His creation, just like we take care to protect and preserve the works of Da Vinci and The Wright Brothers.Are we, in fact, actually doing that? How can we be doing better according to the church?Today we're joined by Marianne Weltmer, our director for Life and Dignity at the Diocese of Harrisburg, who recently spearheaded our brand new “In the Beginning: a Care for Creation” series wrapping up this week to talk about ways we can break through the noise and take tangible action in caring for the environment through a Catholic perspective.

Learn Something New Every Day - feat. Sr Geralyn and Fr. Ben Dunkelberger

How often do we as Catholics go through Catholic school or RCIA, complete what we need to do and then just go through the motions? What have we learned about the Eucharist since making our first communion all those years ago? What would happen if we didn’t stop learning?Today I’m excited to have Sister Geralyn Schmidt and Father Ben Dunkelberger join me to talk about how we can continue to learn from others and thinking of Jesus as your personal trainer.

Back to Busy - feat. Lindy Wynne, Mamas in Spirit Podcast

The thing about seasons, in life and in weather, is that they are temporary. They pass, often before you know it. Sometimes it feels like I am drowning in tasks, busying myself with chores and things I “should” be doing because that’s what the internet said a good mom/wife/professional/woman does. But this season of busy will pass, and then what? I’m excited to be joined via zoom by Lindy Wynne, host of the Mamas in Spirit Podcast and this year’s keynote speaker for our annual women’s conference, to chat about how to maintain our focus on Christ and his Sacred Heart in all our seasons of life.Register for the Women's Conference here: https://www.hbgdiocese.org/womens-conference-online-registration/Mamas in Spirit Podcast: https://www.mamasinspirit.com

Finding Fulfillment and Resting Well - feat. Brian Lynch and Dominic Biacchi, Young Catholic Professionals

In the famous words of Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.”This weekend is Labor Day weekend, and while it’s a federal holiday, it’s a great reminder that God calls us to work like He does, but He also calls us to rest, just like He did. Today we're joined by Brian Lynch and Dominic Biacchi from our newly formed Diocesan Young Catholic Professionals Networking Organization to chew over how we can find the fulfillment and success God is calling us to while maintaining boundaries and resting well.

Superheroes and the Eucharist - feat. Sr Geralyn Schmidt and Father Don Bender

What do superheroes and Catholicism have in common? I'm so glad you asked, because this week, you’re going to get a special glimpse into our renewed mini-sode series "Musings of a Catholic Evangelist” with Sister Geralyn Schmidt of the Sisters of Christian Charity. And if DC superheroes are your thing, you’ll definitely want to keep listening to what Father Don Bender of Saint Patrick Parish in Carlisle has to say about his revert experience, his transformative encounters with the Eucharist, and his homily to first communicants.

Tourist vs Pilgrim: A World Youth Day Recap - feat. Zack Haney

I think about this when we’re able to travel, about living the experience vs just visiting, about being pilgrims. And as Catholics, our destination is ultimately Heaven, right? Our journey, our pilgrimage should be about finding the best path to holiness and eventually Heaven, so how can we do that? How can we explore our faith, physically journey through it and find ourselves on the path to our ultimate destination? Today we're joined via zoom by Zack Haney, our director of youth and young adult ministry for the Diocese, to walk us through the Diocese’s most recent pilgrimage to Lisbon, Portugal for World Youth Day.

Back to Basics - Prayer - feat. Sr. Geralyn Schmidt

Let’s say it’s been a while since you’ve been to church, or maybe you’ve never been but you feel a tug to go and have no idea where to start. Well, let’s start with the basics. Let’s start with prayer.What do we pray? How do we pray? When do we pray? Why should we pray?Today Sr. Geralyn of the Sisters of Christian Charity, who also developed our Diocesan Formation for the Ministry of Spiritual Direction, joins us to help simplify the act of praying.
