Just One Small Thing Podcast for Catholic ParentsJ1ST 110: CST EuthanaisaAlthough most of us will not have to deal directly with the issues of Euthanaisa or Doctor Assisted Suicide, other issues that are closely related, like the topics of death, chornic illness and suffering are things we will have to deal with. And, even more importantly, we will have to teach our children about these topics in a way that is life-giving and true to the Catholic Faith. In this episode I share personal stories to help you discover your own stories that will be helpful as you teach your kids about these issues. I s...2023-04-2425 min

Latte and Laundry: A home for Catholic women, moms, and hearts + encouragement for your mighty motherhood25. Raising Children in the Faith- Interview with Nancy From Catholic SproutsWe could not think of a better way to wrap up our podcast season than with an interview with one of our favorite podcasters, Nancy Bandzuch from the amazing podcast: Catholic Sprouts! We couldn't think of anyone more fitting for the wrap up of our series on: Raising Children in the Faith. Nancy and her husband Bill have devoted so much of their lives to promoting this very important concept of the parents being the primary educators in regards to the faith. Saint John Paul the Great says so simply but so powerfully, "Families, become w...2021-06-0851 min

Domestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 20: Ideas for the Triduum in your Domestic ChurchWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast! This week we are chatting about practical and meaningful things that you can do in your Domestic Church to more fully enter into the Triduum. And in case that term is new to you, the Triduum is the time when we mark the Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. The Triduum begins on the evening of Holy Thursday and concludes the evening of Easter Sunday. How do we mark these days? Well, before we get into that, we want to stress our #1 tip. TAKE THE WHOLE FAMILY TO...2021-03-2419 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 19: The Costello's Domestic ChurchWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast. We hope that your Lenten journey is going well. We have had lots of good times and hard times, and we are all collectively yearning for Easter! This week we are joined by Amanda and Chis Costello. They are a military family. They have two children and they are currently homeschooling. They are also graduates of the DCP Bootcamp. We wanted to talk to the Costellos and just basically hear about their Domestic Church. After all, we all are called to lead a Domestic Church but that...2021-03-1826 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCCP 18: Parish Life with Jonathan StrateWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast. Today we are excited to welcome Jonathan Strate to the podcast. Jonathan is Ascension's New CEO and, as you will hear in this interview, he is passionate about Parish Life. We found this conversation with Jonathan super refreshing. Across the Catholic World we have heard 2 pretty major extremes: that Parish Life is dead, and that all of our Faith Life should be lived in the parish (and we should ignore the Domestic Church). Jonathan, the father of 5 ages 8 and under, took a more balanced approached and challenged us all...2021-03-1128 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPp 17: Making Jesus the Center of LentWelcome back to the DCP Podcast! Life has been NUTS for us lately, and we are working hard to get back into the swing of things right now. What is craziest of all is that we have yet to talk about Lent on the podcast (WHAT!), and so, it is time to do just that. But first, let’s acknowledge something. We are a little over 2 weeks into Lent, but if you are like me, you likely had the wrong goals in mind with your Lenten resolutions. At the start of Lent I always see Lent as an...2021-03-0427 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 16: DCP Bootcamp Grads, the SequieireasWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast.

We are excited to share today about the 3rd week of the Domestic Church Project. During this week we ask families to get to work building their Domestic Churches by putting in place the key pillars that will support their little church. These are Obedience, Unity, Prayer, Seeking Holiness and Trust. Now, that is an awesome list of virtues, all of which would define the ideal family. And, we are far from an ideal family. In our conversation we talk about out thoughts on each of these topics and...2021-02-1125 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 15: Scripture and your Family with Matt PintoWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast. This week we were delighted to have Matt Pinto, the founder of former president of Ascension Press, on the podcast. Although with his work at Ascension, Matt is also the father of six kids. Having Matt Pinto on the podcast felt like the perfect time to tackle an important topic: Scripture. More specifically, how do we make Scripture a bigger part of our families and our homes. This was an especially fun topic to talk about right now due to Ascension’s smash-hit new podcast, The Bible in...2021-02-1135 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCP 13: Dealing with Wounds in the FamilyWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast.

We currently have about 500 families going through the Bootcamp inside of our app, and we are taking our family through the Bootcamp for the 2nd time. The first week of the DCP Bootcamp is called “Demo.” We spend this time looking around our home and wondering, do we really have room for God here?

Deb is a single mother to one sweet little girl and she was part of our Beta test of the DCP Bootcamp this fall. What was unique about Deb and Emma’s experience of the DCP Bootcamp is that Deb shares custody with her ex-husband, so she had to get creative about when and how she and Emma would complete the 6 week course. But finish they did! And she plans to go through the Bootcamp again with Emma, maybe once a year, just so that they can continue to...2021-01-0534 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 9: I'm afraid to build my Domestic Church too!The process of creating the Domestic Church Project Bootcamp has forced us to really analyze our own experience. We thought really hard about the major thing we felt just before diving into this work. And that major feeling was fear. Here are just a few of the fears we experienced: The fear that if I try I might fail. The fear that if I invest in my faith, I might have to confront my own sins and failure to trust. The fear that I might not be enough for my family.2020-12-3127 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 8: What's holding you back from building your Domestic Church?Especially this last year, there has been LOTS of talk about the Domestic Church within Catholic Circles. We know we need to be the primary educator of our children’s faith, we know that we need to be leading homes that are centers for holiness, but, you are anything like us, there are a number of things holding us back. Over the years Nancy has been held back from fully embracing her role as a Catholic Mother due to “idea overwhelm”. Over and over again she would read a great book or talk to an experienced mom and co...2020-12-2927 minDomestic Church Project PodcastDCPP 7: Conversation with the Vitals, DCP GraduatesWelcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast.

We are Bill and Nancy from Catholic Sprouts, and we aren't starting this podcast because we have it all figured out. Not at all.

What if our own formation was poor (or poorly received)? What then? And what if we are busy…can’t we just out source teaching the Faith to our parish or school. Well, here’s the hard truth. No matte who you are, what your life looks like or what you’ve been through, YOU need to be the primary educator of your child’s faith. Why?
