    Protecting Our Families: Understanding Human Trafficking (with Rachel Foltz from Call to Freedom)

    *Content Note: This episode discusses the realities of human trafficking and may include sensitive topics. We recommend parents preview this episode before listening with children.* Human trafficking is often thought of as something that happens somewhere else—far away from our communities and families. But the truth is, trafficking exists everywhere, and awareness is one of the most important ways we can protect the vulnerable. In this important episode of Living LIT—Living in Truth, Robyn sits down with Rachel Foltz from Call to Freedom to talk about the reality of human trafficking: what it is, the different forms it takes, and how traffickers target vulnerable people. Together they discuss the three categories of trafficking, common warning signs, and practical ways families can educate and protect their children. You’ll also hear how Rachel was called into this powerful ministry and the work Call to Freedom is doing to support survivors and bring hope and healing. Drawing inspiration from St. Josephine Bakhita, patron saint of victims of human trafficking, this conversation reminds us that every human person is created in the image of God and deserves dignity, protection, and freedom. This episode equips families with knowledge, awareness, and practical steps to help keep the little church we call home safe.

    Holy Week in the Heart of the Home

    In this episode of Living LIT, I’m inviting you into our home as I share how our family walks through Holy Week—intentionally, prayerfully, and together. From Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday, we talk about simple traditions, meaningful rhythms, and practical ways to bring the beauty and depth of this sacred week to life in your own domestic church. Holy Week isn’t meant to be rushed through—it’s meant to be lived. I’ll share how we slow down, enter into each day, and help our children (and ourselves) encounter the love of Jesus in a real and tangible way. Whether you’re just starting or looking to deepen your family’s experience, this episode is full of encouragement and ideas to help you live Holy Week more fully—right in the little church you call home.

    The Celebrate Plate: Turning Family Moments into Sacred Traditions (with The Little Rose Shop)

    What if one simple plate could become a treasured tradition in your home? In this special episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn is joined by Raquel from The Little Rose Shop to share the beautiful story behind a collaboration that was truly prompted by the Holy Spirit: the creation of the Celebrate Plate. What began with a Holy Spirit prompting quickly unfolded into something more—a meaningful piece designed to help families celebrate life, faith, and the moments that matter most around the table. Together, Robyn and Raquel share how this collaboration came to be, the creative and prayerful process behind designing the Celebrate Plate, and why reclaiming celebration within the family is such an important part of living the Catholic faith. They also explore the deeper meaning of a “Celebrate Plate.” More than just a dish, it is a tangible way to mark special moments in family life—from birthdays and feast days to sacramental anniversaries, personal victories, and everyday blessings. Over time, the plate becomes part of the family story—an heirloom of joy, gratitude, and memory-making. You’ll walk away with practical and inspiring ideas for how to incorporate a Celebrate Plate into your own family traditions and how something so simple can strengthen connection, build anticipation, and create meaningful moments of celebration within the Domestic Church-the Little Church that you call Home.
