The Prodigal's PurposeTear Off the Roof: When Friendship Leads to MiraclesWhat kind of friend are you—the kind who will stop at nothing to bring someone closer to Jesus? In this episode, we dive into the story of the paralytic in Luke 5, whose friends tore through a roof just to lay him at the feet of Christ. It’s a powerful reminder that real friendship doesn’t just cheer from the sidelines—it carries, it intercedes, and it believes for miracles even when someone can’t believe for themselves.Together, we’ll reflect on the kind of friends we’re called to be for one another, the importance of...
2025-11-2623 minThe Prodigal's PurposeTheology & Therapy: Why I Need BothWhat do you do when prayer doesn’t feel like “enough,” yet the world’s answers still leave you empty? In this episode, I share a vulnerable season of my life where I realized I needed both therapy and theology to truly heal. Faith alone didn’t mend my unprocessed wounds, and therapy alone couldn’t give those wounds eternal meaning. Therapy gave me the tools to name the pain and break unhealthy cycles, while theology gave that pain purpose and anchored me in God’s grace. Together, they helped me heal my mind and soul in a way that neither c...
2025-11-1232 minThe Prodigal's PurposeCalled By Name: St. Mary MagdaleneShe was the woman everyone whispered about—the sinner, the outcast, the one with a past. Yet in the Gospels, Mary Magdalene becomes one of the most powerful witnesses of God’s mercy. In this episode, we look at two defining moments of her life: when she knelt at Jesus’ feet in repentance, pouring out her love despite the judgment of others, and when she became the first to discover the empty tomb and was entrusted to proclaim the Resurrection to the Apostles. But perhaps the most powerful moment of all was when the Risen Christ simply said her name—M...
2025-10-2915 minThe Prodigal's PurposeFrom Cross to Resurrection: Finding Christ in DepressionIn this honest and hope-filled episode, we talk about what it means to carry the cross of depression while clinging to the promise of resurrection. Inspired by the words of Venerable Fulton Sheen and Romans 8:18, we explore simple yet powerful ways to find Christ in the suffering, not just after it. From the grounding gift of movement and natural light to the quiet strength of prayer when you feel absolutely nothing, this conversation offers real, grace-soaked practices for the days that feel heavy. We’ll talk about the lifelines that help: staying hydrated, nourishing your body, reaching out to yo...
2025-10-1540 minThe Prodigal's PurposeRocked Cradle Catholic I grew up in Catholic school, knew all the prayers, and had all the answers in religion class. But eventually, I had to face the question: Did I believe any of it for myself? This episode is about growing up in the Church—from church traditions to real wrestling, we unpack what it means to move from knowing about God to actually knowing Him. This is my story of being raised in the Church—and what happened when the faith I inherited had to become the faith I chose.
