    Make Christmas Holy Again | The Journey to Bethlehem | Part Three: Joseph

    In Episode 3 of our Advent series, Make Christmas Holy Again: The Journey to Bethlehem, we turn to Joseph’s yes, one of the most overlooked yet essential acts of obedience in the Christmas story. Joseph does not speak a single recorded word in Scripture, yet God entrusts him with extraordinary responsibility. He is chosen to protect Mary, safeguard Jesus, and legally place Christ within the house of David. This episode explores why Joseph’s obedience is not secondary or optional but foundational to how the Incarnation unfolds in real history. This episode is an invitation to reconsider what spiritual leadership looks like, how we respond when our plans are disrupted and how Advent prepares us not just to celebrate Christ’s birth, but to receive Him in the midst of real life. 💌 Contact me: theaftermasspodcast@gmail.com ⚡ Powered by Truthly 👉 Download the app: bit.ly/anaXtruthlyGet a free 30 day trial with code AFTERMASS #Catholic #CatholicPodcast #AfterMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #Advent #MarysFiat #AnaMunley #TruthlyAI

    The Truth About the Eucharist | Why I Came Home to the Catholic Church | Part Seven

    Watch the powerful Eucharist video on Truthly that I referenced in this episode, here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHO8L9477aU&t=1s Today we are ending the “Why I Came Home” series with the heart of everything. The Eucharist. The Real Presence of Jesus. The one truth that changed my life from the inside out. In this episode, I walk through the biblical, historical and scientific evidence for the Eucharist. We talk about apostolic succession and why only the Catholic and Orthodox Churches have the authority Christ handed to the Apostles. We look at the Bread of Life discourse, the early Church Fathers and the unbroken witness that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Christ. We also get into Eucharistic miracles from around the world. Different countries, different centuries, the same results every time. AB positive blood. Real human heart tissue. Cells that show signs of agony. Miracles that modern science cannot explain. If you have ever doubted the Real Presence, these cases will shake you. This episode is fact driven, grounded in scripture, and filled with the evidence that led me home. If you want the source of Catholic worship, if you want to understand why the Mass matters, if you want the truth without emotion or sentimentality, this episode is your starting point. 💌 Contact me: theaftermasspodcast@gmail.com ⚡ Powered by Truthly👉 Download the app: bit.ly/anaXtruthlyGet a free 30 day trial with code AFTERMASS #Catholic #CatholicPodcast #AfterMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #ConversionStory #TruthlyAI #AnaMunley #WhyICameHome

    Catholic Moral Consistency | Why I Came Home to the Catholic Church | Part Six

    Catholic Moral Consistency The Catholic Church has held the same moral teachings from the first century to today. Not because she is stubborn but because her truths are rooted in divine revelation, natural law and the unchanging reality of the human person. This episode explores why the Church’s moral framework has not drifted, why early Christian teaching looked nothing like the culture of Rome, how natural law actually works and why modern moral confusion reveals a deeper crisis of identity and purpose. We will look at the data on marriage, sexuality, gender, mental health and cultural fragmentation.. and we will see why so many people are returning to the Church right now. Not for nostalgia. For clarity. If you have ever felt exhausted by constant reinvention or unsure where to root your life, my story might resonate with you. This was one of the most decisive reasons I came home. I needed a place where truth did not shift every decade and where human dignity was not optional. I found that in the Church Christ built. 💌 Contact me: theaftermasspodcast@gmail.com ⚡ Powered by Truthly👉 Download the app: bit.ly/anaXtruthlyGet a free 30 day trial with code AFTERMASS #Catholic #CatholicPodcast #AfterMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #ConversionStory #TruthlyAI #AnaMunley #WhyICameHome

    The ACTUAL Catholic View of Salvation | Why I Came Home to the Catholic Church | Part Four

    Salvation Isn’t a One-Time Event.. It’s a Lifelong Surrender. I used to think salvation was simple: say a prayer, invite Jesus into your heart and you’re saved. No Church. No sacraments. No confession. Just faith. But the more I read Scripture, the more I realized.. salvation isn’t a checkbox. It’s a covenant. In this episode of AfterMass, we dive into what salvation really means from a Catholic perspective.. not as a one-and-done moment, but as a daily decision to live in grace. We’ll unpack what Scripture says about faith and works, how the sacraments actually apply the saving power of Christ and why “once saved, always saved” falls short of the Gospel. If you’ve ever wondered why Catholics talk about salvation as a journey, or if you’ve wrestled with the tension between grace and obedience, this episode is for you. 💌 Contact me: theaftermasspodcast@gmail.com ⚡ Powered by Truthly👉 Download the app: bit.ly/anaXtruthly(get a free 30-day trial with code AFTERMASS) #Catholic #CatholicPodcast #AfterMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #ConversionStory #TruthlyAI #AnaMunley #WhyICameHome

    Mary Made it Make Sense | Why I Came Home to the Catholic Church | Part Five

    Most people who push back on Marian devotion aren’t trying to reject truth.. they’re trying to protect Jesus. They love Him. They just don’t understand how honoring Mary magnifies Him instead of replacing Him. In this episode, I walk through the biblical, historical, and spiritual reasons why devotion to Mary isn’t optional or extra, it’s essential. We’ll look at her role as the New Eve, the Ark of the Covenant, and how her “yes” continues to echo through the life of every believer who chooses surrender over pride. If you’ve ever wrestled with why Catholics honor Mary, this is the episode that finally makes it make sense. 💌 Contact me: theaftermasspodcast@gmail.com ⚡ Powered by Truthly 👉 Download the app: bit.ly/anaXtruthly (get a free 30-day trial with code AFTERMASS) #Catholic #CatholicPodcast #AfterMass #CatholicFaith #CatholicChurch #ConversionStory #TruthlyAI #AnaMunley #WhyICameHome
