79. Journey towards being a "Trad Wife"?! From feminist to the feminine genius

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342527/fan_mail/new] Happy Summer! We hope you are all enjoying a break with your family! This is a different format this week as I offer a short reflection, and a glimpse of my journey of exploring the femininity vs. feminism. This is a story of how I fell last year and it has taken more than a year to recover from that fall. I had a tendon tear, a TCL dislocation, muscle sprains etc. It's been quite a journey. I finally got an MRI nearly 7 months after I fell. All because I didn't listen to my husband's advice of being satisfied with a photo from a moving car. Instead, I decided to visit the site of an encampment. The visit was uneventful as there were no longer any occupants there. However, as I was returning to the car, I had a very unfortunate slip/trip wearing my winter boots. If you would like to hear more of my journey exploring feminity and feminism, please feel free to sent us "Fan Mail"! Thank you + God blesss!

77. How to teach the Catholic faith to kids at different ages

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2342527/fan_mail/new] You can teach a child a thousand facts about faith and still miss the one thing that actually sticks: what faith and holiness looks like in the every day life of a Christian. Recording from the Catholic Creator Conference in Steubenville, Sheila  sits down with her husband, Joseph, a Religion teacher with 25+ years in the classroom, to talk about how families can transmit the Catholic faith to children from the early years through the teen years without turning the house into a lecture hall.  We get practical about the stuff that tests real Catholic parenting: noisy toddlers at Mass, the temptation to stay home because it's easier to do so, and the quiet fear that we are “doing it wrong.” Joseph argues that bringing kids to Mass matters even when they do not understand the readings yet, because belonging comes before comprehension. We also dig into family prayer that feels normal, including how to introduce the Rosary with our kids in a way that builds love and attention over time, and develop a personal relationship with Jesus in adulthood. Then we move into the pre-teen and teen shift where questions get sharper: "Does God exist? Who goes to heaven? Why does the Church teach what it teaches?" We talk about moving past a points system and into relationship, helping teens navigate online apologetics, and weaving Scripture and the Magisterium into everyday conversation. If you want a clearer, calmer approach to raising Catholic kids in a digital age, pleasehit play, subscribe to our family podcast apostolate, and please share this with a fellow parent.
