    How to Recognize a Good Man: Character, Growth & Virtue with Chris Chapman | Episode 146

    What if the man you’re dating doesn’t have everything figured out yet ... but he is growing? In this conversation, Chris Chapman brings decades of experience as a husband, father, teacher, and Catholic man to the often-confusing questions surrounding dating, masculinity, and relationships.  Chris shares what women should actually look for in a man while offering a refreshing perspective on why we shouldn’t expect a “ready-made” man. You’ll also hear his thoughts on masculinity, pornography, dating with marriage in mind, the influence women can have on men, and why life, faith, and relationships are often much messier than we imagined. Most importantly, this conversation is filled with hope: God can work through our mistakes, our messy stories, and the places where we still have growing to do.

    Healing your Inner Child: Where Faith, Body & Emotions Meet with Brya Hanan | Episode 145

    What if the reactions, fears, and relationship patterns you struggle with today are connected to parts of your story that were never fully healed? In this powerful conversation, Brya Hanan unpacks inner child work, IFS/parts work, and somatic healing through a deeply Catholic lens.  She explains: why our bodies can hold memories and emotions that our minds have pushed aside, how old wounds can shape our attachment and dating patterns, and why healing means learning to feel safe within ourselves. Brya also shares her practical “Five A’s” framework to help you slow down, listen to what’s happening within you, and bring those experiences to Christ. This episode is an invitation to move beyond simply knowing that God is good in your head and begin experiencing His love, safety, tenderness, and presence in your whole self.
