Saint Stalkers
Season 3, Episode 7
Show notes
Fr. Jacob Rouse is back on Relatable Catholic and this week we are talking about three incredible women of faith: St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Teresa of Avila.
We are diving into their lives, their wisdom, and what these holy women can teach us about living out our faith today. And apparently Fr. Jacob affectionately refers to them as his “Saint Stalkers.”
Come for the Saints, stay for Fr. Jacob’s commentary, and leave with a few new heavenly friends of your own!
Because apparently, even in Heaven, some people just won’t leave Father alone!

What Does That Even Mean?! A Catholic Word Study
Season 3, Episode 6
Show notes
What does that even mean?! This week Angie joins us as we put our Catholic knowledge to the test by guessing the meanings of some very Catholic words. Will we sound like theologians or have absolutely no idea what we’re talking about? (I bet you can take a good guess!) Tune in to this week’s episode to find out and hopefully learn a little something along the way!
HUGE shoutout to Alto by Ascension for sponsoring this week’s episode! Check out Alto here: https://ascension-press.linkjolt.io/l/relatable-catholic-podcast and use the code RELATABLE10 for your discount!

Are We Too Busy for God?
Season 3, Episode 5
Show notes
Life gets busy and sometimes God gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
In this week’s episode we are asking: Are we really too busy for God or have we just stopped making time for him?
Inspired by Mary and Martha, we talk about prayer, slowing down, and making room for Jesus in our everyday lives… without overcomplicating things!

Life, Faith, & Mission Ft. Br. Larry Kieffer
Season 3, Episode 4
Show notes
This week on Relatable Catholic, I’m joined by my great uncle Br. Larry Kieffer for a very special conversation about his life, his faith, and his many years as a Catholic missionary in Papua New Guinea.
Br. Larry shares stories from his time in Papua New Guinea and the experiences that shaped his life and faith. He is such a joyful person and it was a true honor to sit down with his and share his story with you all!
This episode was made even more special by having my dad join us for the conversation. I pray that Br. Larry’s joy and humbleness touches your heart as much as it touched mine!

What's the deal with the Rosary? This week we talk about its roots, what makes this prayer so meaningful, and the very relatable struggle of trying to stay focused while praying it.

The Camino Provides
Show notes
Three pilgrims join us to share their experience walking the Camino de Santiago and the unexpected ways God provided through the kindness of others. Their stories reveal that the Camino is more than a pilgrimage … it’s a powerful metaphor for the Christian life.
As we journey toward heaven, God walks with us and often provides exactly what we need through the people we meet along the way.
Whether you’re considering the Camino or simply seeking encouragement in your own faith journey, this episode is a reminder that none of us are meant to walk to heaven alone.

Andy has been such a special part of Relatable Catholic, and we’re incredibly grateful for his friendship, his wisdom, and all the joy he’s brought to the podcast. We’ll miss having him behind the microphone but we can’t wait to see all that God has in store for him.
Thanks for listening.. and thank you, Fr. Andy!

The Topics Nobody Wants To Bring Up
Season 2, Episode 18

There's More Hope Here Than You Think...
Season 2, Episode 14
Show notes
Corey and Fr. Andy are back this week to (hopefully) calm the group chat a little. We’re talking through the changes in our parishes, answering the questions on everyone’s mind, and sharing insight from dioceses that are a little ahead of us, plus bringing some much-needed perspective (and maybe a few laughs).

The People Closest to You Are Changing You
Season 2, Episode 13
Show notes
Not all friendships are as good for us as we think…
This week we’re talking about what it looks like to have friendships that actually bring you closer to God, and when it might be time to take a step back (even when it’s hard).

Fr. Andy is Moving - And This One Hurts
Season 2, Episode 12
Show notes
Some changes are harder than others. This is one of those.
The announcement of Fr. Andy’s move and parish changes has us feeling all sorts of ways… mostly sad. In this episode, Katie and Corey sit down with Father for an honest conversation about what it looks like to let go of something you love, hold onto faith, and trust God even when it’s difficult.
But as Pope John Paul II said, “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!”
