Friend of the podcast Kelsey Kaiser joins us this week for a conversation about perfectionism! We’re talking about the pressure we put on ourselves, the negative impacts it can have on us and those around us, and how we can begin to let go of those unrealistic expectations with God’s help. Because spoiler alert: God isn’t asking us to be perfect… He’s asking us to trust Him!This episode is sponsored by Alto by Ascension and we are so excited to share this amazing prayer companion with you all!

Fr. Jacob Rouse is back on Relatable Catholic and this week we are talking about three incredible women of faith: St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and St. Teresa of Avila. We are diving into their lives, their wisdom, and what these holy women can teach us about living out our faith today. And apparently Fr. Jacob affectionately refers to them as his “Saint Stalkers.” Come for the Saints, stay for Fr. Jacob’s commentary, and leave with a few new heavenly friends of your own!Because apparently, even in Heaven, some people just won’t leave Father alone! We are so excited to share with you Alto by Ascension!

Life gets busy and sometimes God gets pushed to the bottom of the list. In this week’s episode we are asking: Are we really too busy for God or have we just stopped making time for him?Inspired by Mary and Martha, we talk about prayer, slowing down, and making room for Jesus in our everyday lives… without overcomplicating things!Find us on our Socials!Facebook  Instagram Youtube  Venmo - @relatablecatholic

This week on Relatable Catholic, I’m joined by my great uncle Br. Larry Kieffer for a very special conversation about his life, his faith, and his many years as a Catholic missionary in Papua New Guinea. Br. Larry shares stories from his time in Papua New Guinea and the experiences that shaped his life and faith. He is such a joyful person and it was a true honor to sit down with his and share his story with you all!This episode was made even more special by having my dad join us for the conversation. I pray that Br. Larry’s joy and humbleness touches your heart as much as it touched mine! Find us on our Socials!Facebook  Instagram Youtube  Venmo - @relatablecatholic
