The Year of St. Joseph Jan 06, 2021

Pope Francis has proclaimed 2021 as the year of St. Joseph, and upon his announcement he released a beautiful apostolic letter titled Patris Corde, or With a Father's heart, that aims to increase our love for this great saint, to encourage us to implore his intercession and to imitate his virtues and his zeal. In today's episode, we will discuss this letter, and get to the heart of St. Joseph's fatherly role in our lives .

I am very excited to welcome Nathan Crankfield to the podcast, as we discuss how we can become more like St. Joseph and follow his example in the new year. Last year St. Joseph provided for both Nathan and I in bold ways, and we are excited to introduce you to him!

Keeping A Kingdom Mindset In A Digital Age Jun 08, 2020

Does Instagram and Tik Tok rule your life? Or do you allow God the time and space to tell you who you are and who you were created to be? While many of us (me included) would hate to admit it, we often allow others (especially on social media) to determine how we see ourselves. While the influence of people around us is important, we have to focus on community over competition. Our differences are meant to bring us together, not tear us apart through comparison. If you feel the pressure to look like you know where you're going and what you're doing, but feel exhausted from placing your worth in your accomplishments, this episode is for you! Stacey Sumereau, host of the Called and Caffeinated podcast, joins me today to remind us that we are beautiful, beloved, found and wanted.

Reconciling Your Sense Of Knowing After It's Been Challenged Jun 01, 2020

Have you ever felt convicted about something, whether it be a relationship, college decision, or job, only to be completely caught off guard when you find out it's not what God intended for you? Instead of questioning every decision you've ever made, rest assured that God knows exactly what we need to bring us closest to His heart. Today's conversation is inspired by an article from The Young Catholic Woman titled, "When Your One Actually Wasn't The One", written by Sarah Kozak, today's guest! This episode is for anyone who needs to be reminded that God's words are never empty promises — He never lets anything go to waste.

How To Embrace Your Femininity While Expressing Your Individuality May 11, 2020

We will always be battling the idea that we are only as good as our looks. But anytime we base our self-worth on our appearance, we are going to struggle with confidence. No beauty standard will ever change the fact that each and every one of us has been created as an unrepeatable child of God. Joining me today to remind us of these truths and more is Lilly Fallon. Lilly is going to debunk your misconceptions of what a feminine Christian woman has to look like, and remind you that your personal style should be as unique as your soul. While your confidence can change with every passing day, your worth never changes.

How Far Is Too Far? — Chastity and Christian Dating Apr 27, 2020

Today, I'm asking all the questions you've been too nervous to ask regarding chastity and Christian dating. While every chastity talk tells you, "save sex for marriage", they don't always answer the more difficult questions like, how do you fight sexual temptation? What is emotional chastity? And of course the biggest question, how far is too far? Today's guest is Culture Project missionary, Emily Harpole. Emily is a 2019 college grad from Benedictine College, and she has spent the past year presenting to middle and high school students about the importance of chastity. While you may think chastity is just not having sex, its true definition is aligning our sexual desires to whatever our state of life is. This episode is packed full of practical ways to say yes to authentic love, and messages of hope for those suffering from the wounds of sexual sin.

When You Believe Your Story Isn't Worth Sharing Apr 20, 2020

Who out there feels like their story is too simple or too ordinary to share with others? Do you even know what your story is or the smallest step in beginning to share it? We often feel like in order to encourage and inspire others we have to have had a major transformation or overcome a tragedy. But what if I told you that your story is important, and you have the opportunity to build connection and achieve success, simply by sharing more of yourself. Would you believe me? Today I am joined by photographer and podcast host, Courtney Garrett, as we discuss how to embrace your story, vulnerably share it with others, and make strides in your personal and professional life by putting yourself out there. We all have a story to share. It's time for you to share yours.

It's officially Holy Week and the churches are still closed. Did you ever think you'd live to see the day? While our participation in this week's liturgies may look different than normal, we are still invited on the journey through the Lord's passion to His resurrection.

Finding Hope & Freedom Amidst Addiction Mar 16, 2020

Stop and ask yourself, "Am I free?" The reality is most of us aren't. We use a variety of things to fill the void of our hearts: alcohol, drugs, porn, masturbation, social media...the list goes on. Addiction can be anything we use as an escape from the root of our problems. It brings about feelings of shame, guilt and isolation, making it difficult to talk about with others. So in this episode, I'm asking the difficult questions. I brought along 8th year FOCUS missionary, Tori Vissat, for today's conversation. Tori shares her own story of overcoming addiction, while discussing warning signs, our culture's greatest danger, and resources we can turn to when we're struggling.

Is There Purpose In My Suffering? Mar 09, 2020

Today I am joined by one of my OG Instagram pals, Maclaine Capshew, as we tackle one of life's toughest questions, "Is there purpose in my suffering?" We're discussing how we welcome others into our suffering without feeling like a burden, and most importantly, the truth that there is no resurrection without the crucifixion.

4 Ways To Turn Your Dreams Into Reality Feb 17, 2020

When we make plans and they don't work out, it's tough to trust that God has something better. However, He has given us crazy wild dreams and wants to see us pursue them while trusting He will provide in abundance. Throughout college I dreaded the question "What do you want to do with your life?" because it wasn't easy for me to package my dreams and passions into a single job. When I was tempted to believe my only option was to settle, Jesus would remind me that He had something better. My patience paid off and with the help of St. Jospeh I was able to land my dream job! Today I'm letting you in on this exciting new adventure and sharing how you too can land your dream job or internship. For additional details about where I'll be working and what I'll be doing, check out my instagram page @carolineroseowens!
