Episode 5- The Wrong Keys

Episode 5- The Wrong Keys

What do a locked camper, a bin full of keys, and a locksmith have to do with our faith? More than I ever expected! After Doug and I accidentally locked ourselves out of our RV, we spent hours trying key after key, convinced the next one would be the one that worked. It got me thinking about how often we do the same thing in life—searching for peace, purpose, happiness, and fulfillment in all the wrong places. In this episode, I share a camping mishap that turned into a powerful lesson about the human heart, the things we chase, and why Jesus might be the only key that truly fits. If you've ever felt restless, exhausted, or like you're still searching for something more, this episode is for you. Why? Because....sometimes the answer isn't another key. Sometimes it's the locksmith.

Episode 4-When Things Don't End the Way We Planned

What does losing my voice, state championship games, disappointment, and the Ascension of Jesus have in common? More than I expected! In this episode, I’m reflecting on what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan—when endings look different than we hoped, prayers aren’t answered the way we imagined, or we find ourselves asking: God… what now? If you’ve ever wrestled with disappointment, uncertainty, or trusting God when the story takes an unexpected turn… this one is for you!

Episode 3- From Disaster to Encounter- Finding Jesus on the Road

What do a broken RV door, tornado warnings, and a freezing night have to do with the road to Emmaus? More than you might think! In this episode, I share a real-life story from a recent camping trip that didn’t go as planned—and how it unexpectedly connected to the Sunday Gospel from two weeks ago. (Luke 24:13–35). The disciples walked with Jesus and didn’t even recognize Him… and sometimes, we do the same. I'll talk about what it looks like to walk through frustrating, confusing, or disappointing moments—and how God is often right there, even when we don’t see Him. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of the mess… this episode is for you!

Episode 2- Locked Doors, Doubt and Belief

This weekend’s Gospel (John 20:19–31) hit me in a way I couldn’t shake. The apostles were hiding behind locked doors—afraid, uncertain, and carrying everything that had just happened. And instead of a lecture… Jesus shows up and says, “Peace be with you.” Then there’s Thomas—the one who needed proof. And then there’s us… the ones who didn’t see, but are still called to believe. In this episode, I reflect on how this Gospel connects to our lives—whether your heart feels locked, you’re struggling with doubt, or you’re trying to trust God without seeing. We also connect this to Divine Mercy Sunday and the message of Saint Faustina Kowalska—a reminder that Jesus meets us with mercy, not judgment. If you’ve ever felt guarded, unsure, or just not “there” in your faith… this one’s for you. Wherever you are in the story… He’s already there.

Episode 1- Welcome to Keepin' it Catholic with Kim

Why am I Catholic? Not just because I was raised that way… but because I chose it. In this first episode, I’m sharing my story—how I grew up Catholic, struggled to truly understand my faith, and eventually made the decision to dive deeper instead of picking and choosing what I believed. I talk about how some of my biggest doubts became the foundation of my strongest faith, and how powerful parts of Catholicism—like Adoration, the Eucharist, Confession, and the example of the saints—have completely transformed my life. I also share a deeply personal moment of surrender in Adoration during my battle with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder… and how that became the beginning of healing. This episode is for you if: • You grew up Catholic but never fully understood it • You’re questioning or wanting to go deeper • You’re trying to live your faith in real, everyday life • Or you just want to feel less alone in your journey This is just the beginning… and I’m so glad you’re here. If this episode encouraged you, be sure to like, follow, and share it with someone who might need it too. Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep loving like Jesus. And let’s keep it Catholic.
