In this episode, we are joined by the one and only Elizabeth Felsheim! In between laughs, we discuss vulnerability, community, and the way in which Lent has revealed our weakness to ourselves (spoiler alert: God is using it for good).

SPOILER ALERT: minutes 40-43 give away the exciting romantic conclusion of Little Women. Read the book before you listen. :) Soundtrack of the week: “Old Time Rock & Roll” - https://youtu.be/N9G-lvqaBfM (Why Emily chants in the background when she hears this song: https://youtu.be/u3eDgK0rROQ?t=127 ) Little Women - https://librivox.org/little-women-dramatic-reading-by-louisa-may-alcott/

Amanda gives you a couple announcements and a reflection on how social media can affect the way in which we relate to beauty. As she explains, we’re taking a short podcasting break for technical reasons. However, this is great liturgical timing; soak in the silence and spend some extra Lenten time with the Lord, and we’ll be back before you know it!! Soundtrack of the week: “Hello My Old Heart” - https://youtu.be/rKNwx82kPjY “Feel It Still” - https://youtu.be/pBkHHoOIIn8

We conclude our series on “Why I Am Catholic” with a discussion of beauty. Soundtrack of the week: “Would You Be So Kind?" - https://youtu.be/8Ypnr33sEmg?t=18 The Charlie Brown Suite - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu97desMaxzmWQTuVdNtKQRLJcAbU885p (Jazz lovers, listen to the “Charlie Brown Theme” and make sure to get to “Rain, rain, go away” mixed w/that one nameless song that every kid learns on the piano - https://youtu.be/kTbfFVg_xPI )

Today we dive into the unchanging, (often mistaken as “rigid”) morality of Catholicism and the woman’s role in the church, followed by a discussion on the forgiviness Christ offers to all people through his bride.
