    How We Plan Our Year (and Why It Fell Apart in March)

    What happens when the year you carefully planned gets completely rearranged three months in? For us, it started with a phone call on March 3rd that changed everything. We had plans for our family, our business, our 15th anniversary, and the year ahead. Then, suddenly, we were traveling to Texas to meet our newborn son, Peter—and dealing with a very different reality than the one we'd planned for. So what happens to all those plans when life throws you a major curveball? In this episode, we look back at our 2026 plans and talk about what stayed, what shifted, and what completely fizzled. We also talk about the financial side of having your plans disrupted, and why having a budget and clear priorities helped us take some pretty big hits without getting knocked down. IN THIS EPISODE: How we approach our annual family planning and discernment The plans we made for 2026—and what happened to them Why our Yellowstone trip stayed on the calendar How our decision to send the girls to school turned out to be providential Why Jonathan had to significantly scale back his business goals for the year What happened to our plans for our 15th anniversary trip How adoption and unexpected medical expenses affected our budget Why planning is an act of prudence rather than an attempt to control the future What it means to make plans while remaining abandoned to God's providence James 4:13–15 and the importance of saying, “If the Lord wills” Why we need to create space to ask God what He wants us to protect and pursue How we're approaching our 2027 plans—with plenty of ambition and an open hand We're already making some big plans for 2027. Italy is on the calendar, and we're dreaming about the Camino in 2028. God willing. PLAN YOUR YEAR WITH WALLETWIN Ready to start planning your own year?

    Magnifica Humanitas Conclusion: What Does the Church Actually Want Us to Do About AI?

    We’ve reached the conclusion of our Magnifica Humanitas series, and this final chapter made us realize we may have been asking the wrong question. Is this encyclical really about when and how Catholics should use AI? Or is it about how to remain human as we enter this new era? We talk about the Incarnation, the Eucharist, human weakness, education, relationships, Mary’s Magnificat, and Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem brick by brick. We’re called to get in there and help build. This episode is sponsored by Alto, Ascension’s new Catholic periodical, delivered to your door each month. It brings together the daily Mass readings, Liturgy of the Hours, saint features, reflections, prayers, and more, so you can put the phone down and just open Alto and pray.

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 5: Can AI Make War Even More Dangerous?

    What happens when artificial intelligence and other powerful technologies enter the world of war? In Chapter 5 of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV turns his attention to war, peace, power, and the possibility of building what he calls a “civilization of love.” Amanda and Jonathan talk through some challenging questions about AI and warfare, the dehumanizing effects of technology, the normalization of conflict, and what it means to keep human responsibility at the center of decisions that can have irreversible consequences. They also discuss just war theory, nuclear weapons, economic interests behind conflict, the importance of diplomacy and dialogue, and why peace requires more than simply avoiding war. And as the chapter moves from the global to the personal, they consider something much more practical: What can ordinary Catholics actually do when the problems of the world feel too big for us? The answer isn't resignation. We can begin where we are—through our choices and the small acts of faithfulness that help build a civilization of love.

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 4: Who Is AI Really Serving?

    Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, learn, communicate, and even how we spend our attention. But as AI becomes more powerful, Pope Leo XIV asks us to look beyond what the technology can do and consider who bears the cost of that progress. In Chapter 4 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan unpack what the Church has to say about the human consequences of technological transformation—from disinformation and attention-based business models to job displacement, hidden workers, data exploitation, and new forms of inequality. They talk about: Why truth and human attention should be treated as goods worth protectingHow technology and social media can shape culture, especially for young peopleThe impact of AI and automation on meaningful workThe hidden workers behind AI systems and the conditions they may faceHow data extraction can create new forms of exploitation and colonialismWhy families, workers, and vulnerable people need to be considered when technology changesThe responsibility of businesses, investors, and technology designersWhat it means to pursue technological progress while protecting human dignity When technology creates new opportunities and wealth, who gets to share in the benefits—and who is carrying the hidden costs? Join us as we continue our journey through Magnifica Humanitas and consider what it looks like to put the human person at the center of technological and economic progress.

    The Catholic Truth about Money, Wealth, Generosity and Financial Freedom with Angela Schnieders

    What does the Catholic Church actually teach about money, wealth, debt, generosity, and financial stewardship? In this conversation, Amanda joins Angela  Schnieders on Integrated Wholeness for Body, Mind, and Soul to unpack the Catholic approach to money—and why financial freedom should ultimately give us greater freedom to respond to God's will. They talk about: Why Catholics need a clearer understanding of financial stewardship How money can serve our vocation rather than become an end in itself Getting out of debt and the freedom that can create Generosity, detachment, and what it means to hold wealth with open hands Why financial planning and trusting in God's providence can—and should—coexist Building wealth and businesses for the good of families, communities, and the Church Why financial education belongs in Catholic formation and marriage preparation The importance of wills, trusts, guardianship, healthcare directives, and other estate planning How to approach financial hardship without losing hope Amanda also shares part of her and Jonathan's story of paying off $25,000 of debt in seven and a half months—and how becoming financially free gave them greater capacity to say yes to the vocation God was giving them. At the heart of the conversation is a simple question: What if financial freedom isn't ultimately about having more freedom for ourselves, but having greater freedom to say yes to God?

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 3: Can We Moralize the Machine?

    In Chapter 3 of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV takes a closer look at AI, technological advancement, and the technocratic mindset that can reduce everything—including human beings—to efficiency, optimization, and control. Amanda and Jonathan unpack what the Church’s social teaching has to say about AI, including: Why more technological power doesn’t necessarily mean more human progress How AI can concentrate economic and social power Why AI should not be confused with human intelligence The importance of prudence, transparency, and moral responsibility How AI can affect creativity, relationships, and our ability to exercise judgment What transhumanism and the desire to “optimize” humanity have to do with our understanding of human limits Why our weaknesses, suffering, and dependence on others are part of what makes us human The deeper question is one Pope Leo keeps bringing us back to: Does this technology make human life more human? 📖 Read the full encyclical:https://www.ewtnnews.com/vatican/full-text-of-magnifica-humanitas-read-pope-leo-xiv-s-first-encyclical 🎙️ Sponsored by Catholic Financial Planners Network:https://catholicfinancialplanners.com/ 📬 Get our weekly Catholic money tips: ⁠walletwin.com/weekly⁠ 📲 Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@walletwin⁠ Music in this episode is by Dylan Gardner – ⁠⁠⁠⁠check out his album Almost Real⁠⁠ ⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, or wherever you listen to great music.

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 2: Who Gets Left Behind by Technology?

    In Chapter 2 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan unpack the Catholic social teaching principles Pope Leo XIV says we need in order to navigate the digital revolution. This chapter gets more concrete about human dignity, human rights, the common good, the universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, solidarity, and social justice—and begins applying those principles to algorithms, data, digital platforms, surveillance, and artificial intelligence. In this episode: • Why human dignity does not depend on wealth, productivity, ability, or status • The two dangers Pope Leo identifies for human rights today • Why the common good requires us to look beyond our own interests • How private property and the universal destination of goods work together • What subsidiarity means when major technology companies hold enormous power • Why algorithms, platforms, patents, infrastructure, and data raise new questions about access and ownership • How solidarity changes the way we think about technology’s impact on other people and future generations • Why technological progress must ultimately be judged by whether it helps people become more fully human Pope Leo’s question for the digital age is bigger than whether a technology is useful or profitable: Does it truly serve the human person and the common good?
