    Chatting it up with COR

    This week on Dramatic Catholics, we’re joined by Mary Bakke and Cecilia Fritz—two of six COR members serving at Andre House of Hospitality. COR is a “re-imagined” team living a year of service in community, serving the poor and diving deeper into the faith. In this episode, we talk COR life, pushing through struggles in prayer, choosing God’s will, and walking alongside the sorrows of the guest they serve. We also challenge misconceptions about homelessness, reflect on true community, and what it means to step into the uncomfortable. Plus, a slightly chaotic hot take to wrap it up (listen at your own risk lol). ------------------- If Dramatic Catholics has impacted your faith, we invite you to be part of keeping this mission alive.

    Going Home to the Dome

    In this special episode of Dramatic Catholics, we say goodbye to an era as Delila records her final in-person episode before moving to South Bend, Indiana for her new position serving with the Holy Cross Mission Center. Together, we reflect on Delila’s time at SJV—the memories, the people, and the ways God has moved throughout it all—while also looking ahead with hope to what’s to come. Though this chapter is closing, the mission continues, and so will the podcast! :) This exciting transition means our show will look a little different, and it also means we now need more equipment to keep producing episodes and growing our mission. To help make this next step possible, we’re raising support with the link below! https://gofund.me/82dd06298

    Jesus Wants Your Money

    We often come to Jesus with the “big things” going on in our lives, but He invites us to bring every aspect of our lives to Him—both big and small. That includes our finances. In this episode, we’re joined by Paul Lorenz as we talk about what it means to steward money well, avoid making it the thing we chase, and instead trust that God, as a loving Father, knows what we need and desires what is best for us. --------------------------------------- If Dramatic Catholics has impacted your faith, we invite you to be part of keeping this mission alive.

    DATING vs. Dating

    Welcome to Dating vs. Dating—where we unpack the difference between casually dating… and dating with a view of marriage. We’re talking boundaries, red flags, green flags, emotional chastity, and how to know when it’s time to take the next step—or take a step back.  And for those moments when you’ve crossed a line or fallen short? We talk about how to turn back to God, receive His mercy, and begin again.  Let’s learn to date with a purpose 🧡🩷🧡 Disclaimer: This podcast includes conversations about sex and physical boundaries within relationships from a faith-based perspective. Listener discretion is advised. --------------------------------------- If Dramatic Catholics has impacted your faith, we invite you to be part of keeping this mission alive.
