    Episode 41: Living Catholic Social Teaching with Dr. Guilherme Lopes

    In this episode, Maggie and Stephanie sit down with Dr. Guilherme Lopes just days after his CTU graduation to talk about how Catholic social teaching shaped his life long before it became his academic focus. Guilherme shares his story as a Brazilian immigrant raised in the Bronx, formed by the Salesians of Don Bosco through a tuition exchange at Holy Rosary parish, and how that early experience of being fed, clothed, and welcomed by a religious community planted the seeds for a career spent at the intersection of faith, justice, and youth ministry. The conversation moves through his unlikely path: a criminal justice degree born out of grief after losing his best friend to a drunk-driving accident, a hard stretch as a juvenile probation officer, and the moment at a Thursday art program for detained teens that redirected him toward ministry. From there, Guilherme traces his work revising the Salesians' Gospel Roads immersion program, his pivot away from "flashy," consumer-style youth ministry programming toward authentic, justice-oriented service experiences, and his eventual move to Newman University, where he now directs campus ministry and teaches theology. Maggie and Stephanie connect his story to Goodfaith's own immersion work, comparing notes on snack-cabinet rules, DoorDash bans, four-minute showers, and what it means to form a generation raised on curated, on-demand experiences.

    Episode 40: The Dorothea Project with Katie Hollar and Krista Varney

    Two social media posts started a movement. Less than a year later, the Dorothea Project counts more than 1,100 Catholic women across 75 dioceses. We sit down with founder Katie Holler and project leader Krista Varney to talk about how a grassroots network of Catholic women grew out of one mom's refusal to stay silent. Katie, a social worker in Steubenville, started the Dorothea Project after the second Trump administration's immigration enforcement hit her during her postpartum maternity leave. She made two Facebook posts asking if anyone else felt the same. Dozens of women answered, most of them saying some version of "I thought I was the only one." Named for Dorothy Day and Sister Thea Bowman, the Dorothea Project educates Catholics on Catholic social teaching and moves them to act in defense of vulnerable people. The conversation digs into why CST stays the so-called "best kept secret of the Church", what happens when you start treating your bishop like a constituent who needs to hear from you, and why building a movement means getting comfortable with tension instead of waiting for everyone to agree on everything. We get into the work of organizing at both the national and local level, the new CST-based voter guide the group is building ahead of the midterms, and why the laity coming to know their own power might be the real shift the Church needs.

    Episode 39: Permission to be Human with Karen Bortvedt Estrada, Somatic Stress Release Practitioner

    Tim joins Maggie in the host seat for a rich conversation with Karen Bortvedt Estrada, a somatic stress release practitioner and founder of Wish You Knew. Karen helps us notice the things we override all day, the clenched jaw, the tensed shoulders, and makes the case for "humaning" instead of performing. The three get honest about the cost of caregiving work, and the scripts (capitalism, perfectionism, "your reward will be great in heaven") that keep ministers, teachers, and nonprofit folks running until they collapse. Karen's reframe is freeing: you are not broken, you're feeling the symptoms of a broken system, and naming that is where healing begins. The episode closes on the church itself, with Karen sharing what she wishes faith communities understood about the body, intuition, and letting their people be human, messy, and rested rather than endlessly productive.

    Episode 38: Belonging Before Believing with Rosie Chinea Shawver

    Rosie Chinea Shawver didn't embrace faith until college. She grew up in a Puerto Rican and Cuban household where faith was present but not personal, like a piece of furniture. It took a persistent friend, a cute guy in the choir, and a priest who took her out for froyo to change all of that. Now, nearly 20 years into campus ministry and serving as Executive Director of the Catholic Campus Ministry Association (CCMA), Rosie has given her life to making sure young people have the same kind of encounter she did. In this conversation, we talk with Rosie about what it really takes to accompany young adults in faith and why that slow, deeply human work is exactly what the church needs more of right now.

    Episode 37: One Year of Pope Leo XIV with Colleen Dulle

    One year ago, white smoke rose over the Sistine Chapel and the world met Pope Leo XIV — the first American pontiff in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church. A lot has happened since then. To mark the anniversary, we're joined again by Colleen Dulle. Colleen is the Vatican correspondent for America Magazine, co-host of the Inside the Vatican podcast, and author of Struck Down, Not Destroyed: Keeping the Faith as a Vatican Reporter. Colleen reported live from Rome during the Conclave and has been tracking Leo's papacy ever since. She joins us from the middle of an international move with her young family, and we are so grateful for her time.

    Episode 36: Accompanying Young Latino Catholics with Instituto Fe y Vida

    What does it look like to walk alongside young Latino Catholics at this particular moment in the life of the Church — and in the life of the United States? That's the heart of today's conversation with Juan Escarfuller and Elisabeth Roman from Instituto Fe y Vida, a Lasallian ministry founded in 1994 to form young Latinos as servant leaders in the Church and society. From WhatsApp groups that outlast retreats to banner-making retreats that reunite teens with their parents, Juan and Ellie paint a vivid picture of what formation rooted in community, culture, and faith actually looks like on the ground. They also speak candidly about the fear, grief, and resilience spreading through Latino parishes in the current political climate, and what they witnessed firsthand when a delegation of over 90 migrants was received by Pope Leo at the Vatican.

    Episode 35: Social Justice & Organized Chaos with Kate and Anthony

    In our newest installment of our parenting series The Confessional, Maggie and Stephanie sit down with Kate and Anthony, a Philadelphia couple raising three daughters while doing deeply meaningful, demanding work in Catholic higher education and climate justice. From meeting at the National Catholic Youth Conference at age 17 to building an intentional family life rooted in faith, justice, and community, this conversation is warm and deeply real. Kate is the Director of the Center for Common Good at Villanova University. Anthony co-founded Taproot, a climate justice nonprofit working on issues of self-determination and climate reparations. Together they're basketball teams, navigating the Catholic Church's complicated moment, and trying to raise kids who understand why their faith compels them to care about the world.

    Episode 34: Pope Leo XIV, President Trump, and American Catholics with John Grosso

    One year after the death of Pope Francis, Maggie and Stephanie welcome back John Grosso, digital editor of the National Catholic Reporter — this time calling in from paternity leave with a two-week-old at home. John shares where he was when Francis died (at his desk in a bathrobe at 3am), reflects on how Francis's legacy is still being fought over, and makes the case that Pope Leo XIV is building on that foundation. Then we get into the current moment: Trump's attack on Pope Leo XIV, JD Vance challenging the Pope on Just War Theory while standing in the homeland of St. Augustine, the American cardinals on 60 Minutes, and a USCCB slowly finding its footing. We end with the bigger question underneath all of it: what this moment is really asking of American Catholics, and what it means to choose the gospel over your politics. Also: a baby who may owe her potty training breakthrough to Pope Francis, and John's promise to review JD Vance's book the moment he's back from leave.
