St. Matthias: Faithful When Nobody Was Watching

DON'T LEAVE US A REVIEW- PRAY A DECADE OF THE ROSARY INSTEAD! This week on Saints in the Sticks, we’re talking about St. Matthias — the apostle chosen to replace Judas after the Resurrection and one of the most overlooked men in the New Testament.

Matthias followed Jesus faithfully for years before ever being publicly recognized, and his life teaches us that holiness is often built through patience, humility, perseverance, and trusting God’s timing.

The Night He Stayed With Us: Holy Thursday and the Gift of the Eucharist

Holy Thursday begins the Sacred Triduum — the three holiest days of the year — and in this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we reflect on the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus gave us the Eucharist, the priesthood, and the command to love one another through humble service. We talk about why Holy Thursday is more than just a remembrance, how the Mass connects us to that night in the Upper Room, and what it means to live the Eucharist in everyday life — at home, at work, and in the ordinary moments where sacrifice and love are hardest. This episode also includes a Southern Catholic Challenge of the Day to help you live Holy Thursday by practicing humility, gratitude, and real love for others. Follow us on...

Faith Under Fire: The Martyrdom of Saint Benjamin the Deacon

On March 31st, the Church honors Saint Benjamin the Deacon, a courageous Christian who lived during the persecutions of the Persian Empire and remained faithful to Christ even under torture and death. In this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we take a deeper historical look at Saint Benjamin’s life, the persecution of Christians in Persia, and what his witness teaches Catholics today about courage, truth, and perseverance. We reflect on how modern believers can stay faithful in a world that often pressures us to compromise, and we offer a Southern Catholic Challenge of the Day to help you live with the same bold faith as Saint Benjamin. Grab your coffee or sweet tea, and walk with one of the Church’s heroic martyrs. ✝️ Follow us on...
