In Good Company: Journey with the Saints Gabriel Heidbreder & Rachael Gieger

Welcome to In Good Company - a podcast hosted by the Office of Faith Formation in the Diocese of Nashville Tennessee!

Who had the greatest vocation of any Christian? It wasn't the smartest doctor of the Church, the bloodiest martyr, or even the sweetest nun. The person who had the greatest calling from God was Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus. A young Jewish girl was called by God the Father to bring His beloved Son into the world. On behalf of all humanity, Mary RSVP'd to God's invitation to redemption through a total, humble, and free "yes" to His will. God began His mission of redemption in the womb of this young girl; there couldn't be a more important mission given to a Christian!

In this episode, Gabriel and Rachael sit down to discuss the Catholic perspective on Mary. They explain why Catholics give Mary titles, and Rachael shares her favorite title of Mary with a really compelling story!

Tylor Starkey, a seminarian for the Diocese of Nashville, sits down with Rachael and Gabriel to unpack his journey into the Catholic faith. Oftentimes, the Catholic understanding of saints can be a tough doctrine to agree with for converts coming into the Church. However, in Tylor's journey with St. James, he invites us to see that traveling through this life with Christ necessarily means doing so alongside Jesus's closest friends. For the saints of God always show us that it is Jesus who is the Way.

Was there freedom in the Nazi concentration camps of World War II? Crushing labor, inhuman living conditions, lack of food and water, all the while the threat of instant execution hanging over your head. How could there possibly be any semblance of freedom behind these barbed-wire fences? In this episode, Gabriel and Rachael unpack the life of one heroic man who demonstrated ultimate freedom amidst these horrendous conditions. The only real exercise of freedom open to every person, of every time, and of every place is the freedom to choose love. This radical freedom is only possible through the power of Christ and His Cross, the source of all true love.

Have you had to make a very difficult decision? Some decisions in our life will cost us a lot, and maybe even everything. Our brothers and sisters in Christ, the Saints, had to make difficult and heroic decisions in their lives but they were always guided by one principle: what will lead me to greater love? In this episode, Rachael and Gabriel unpack the life of an incredible woman whose heroic life gives all of us hope when facing difficult decisions.

Have you ever heard someone say something like, "Oh, my grandmother! That woman was a saint"? Or maybe you've had a lively debate with a friend who doesn't believe Christians should speak to the saints, after all, why not just go "straight to Jesus"?  In this episode, Gabriel and Rachael discuss how all the saints of God are measured by their lives of heroic virtue, especially that of heroic love. As friends of God, they not only inspire us to "fight the good fight," but they intercede on our behalf before the throne of the Lamb reminding us that we are never alone, we are In Good Company.

A 13-year-old girl began recieving visions from God and famous saints telling her to lead an army against one of the strongest nations in the world. This little peasant girl would not only lead armies of men to victory and embolden a childish king, but would also be an incredible light of God's strength in a world so very afriad. Join Gabriel and Rachael as they sit down with one of their close friends, Joan Watson, to talk about one of her favorite saints: St. Joan of Arc!
