    make joy normal: Catholics in the new springtime

    The Church is experiencing a profound renewal — a new springtime of faith. But what does that look like in your home? In your parish? In your daily life?

    We are living in a time of tremendous opportunity for renewal: a new springtime. As Catholics, we aren’t called to retreat from the world, but to become leaven within it—to live so fully in the joy and freedom of the Gospel that our lives might become an invitation.

    Let’s explore what it means to live as an authentic Catholic family in our time: the beauty of the Faith, the reality of raising children in Christ, the struggles and triumphs of Catholic life, and how ordinary families become instruments of the New Evangelization. From marriage and parenthood to education and community, let’s look at joy—rooted in Christ and His Church—might become the normal rhythm of Catholic life.

    Let’s usher in the New Springtime Pope John Paul II proclaimed. Catholic family life doesn’t have to look perfect to be beautiful. The world doesn’t need more noise. It needs to see Catholics living with conviction, charity, and contagious joy.

    Let’s make joy normal.

    Sheila, a veteran homeschooling mother from Arizona, shares her experience with burnout and the challenges of homeschooling children with a large age gap. We touch on mothering teens and keeping the connection as they become adults.

    soundbites:

    • "It's a beautiful thing that you're doing."
    • "Nobody prepares us for what it's going to be like to have adult children and our role in that."
    • "Implementing mentorship for older homeschooling moms could be a wonderful way to share knowledge and support."

    Takeaways from this episode:
    Passions can be turned into high school courses, such as chess

    Course titles can reflect the skills and concepts learned, like "applied mathematics through strategy." A high school course typically requires 120-150 hours of work, so what does that look like for their passions?

    A topical list of previous episodes is available for easy reference at the end of these show notes and also! A YouTube video featuring a dad's panel discussing homeschooling experiences is linked here in the show notes.
