Bo Bonner is joined by Alexia Baker, Ayden Pugh, and Brady Grimm for a full hour of faith, family, and community events across Iowa. Dr. John Cuddeback — The Intentional Household Dr. John Cuddeback, professor of philosophy at Christendom College since 1997, joins the show to discuss his new book, The Intentional Household: Living as if People Matter (Ignatius Press). Dr. Cuddeback traces how modern culture has pulled families away from ordinary, life-giving practices — shared meals, unhurried conversation, working and resting together — and offers practical, faith-rooted steps for rebuilding a household centered on God's plan. He touches on the household as a "school of responsibility," the importance of fathers leaning into home life, and how multigenerational households can serve both the young and the elderly well. 📖 The Intentional Household is available now everywhere Ignatius Press books are sold: https://ignatius.com/ Christ Our Life Conference — "Searching Souls" (Sept. 26–27, 2026) Co-founders and co-chairs Ellen Miller and Marilyn Lane return to preview this year's Christ Our Life Conference, held September 26–27, 2026 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
