This week it’s just Katie (and Carl 🐶) talking about Ash Wednesday and the heart of Lent.

Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving can feel overwhelming before we even begin — so let’s strip it back to what really matters.

A shorter episode, a gentle start to the season, and a reminder that Lent isn’t about perfection… it’s about returning and growing.

Ever accidentally stood when everyone else sat? Returned the Sign of Peace a little too enthusiastically? Or witnessed something at Mass that still has you thinking about it years later?

In this episode, we’re sharing the awkward, funny, and very human moments that only happen at Mass. From honest mishaps to moments that live rent-free in our heads, this is a reminder that holiness and humanity often show up in the same pew.

Sharing our faith doesn’t always come naturally and for many of us, it can feel downright uncomfortable. In this episode of Relatable Catholic, Katie and Fr. Andy welcome back Corey Kettmann to unpack why living our Catholic faith publicly can feel awkward, where that fear comes from, and how to grow in courage over time.

This week on Relatable Catholic, Katie and Fr. Andy are joined by new guest Corey Kettmann for an honest conversation about faith - why people drift away from it and why so many of us long to understand the why behind our Catholic beliefs. They also discuss practical ways to build a prayer life using the Hallow app and how curiosity, questions, and formation can deepen faith instead of weaken it. Enjoy a fun listen with this terrific trio!

It’s almost Christmas, which can only mean one thing… cold and flu season. 🤧🎄

After plenty of cough breaks, tissue runs, and the occasional surprise sneeze, our final episode of 2025 is here!

This week we’re chatting about the O Antiphons, how we celebrate Christmas, and a few other delightful, end-of-Advent topics along the way.

Thank you so much for listening, sharing, and journeying with us this year. We’re incredibly grateful for this community and can’t wait to kick off Season 2 in the new year!

Fr. Andy and Katie are joined by friend-of-the-podcast Ryan Orabutt for a clear and relatable deep dive into Mary—her role in Scripture, what the Immaculate Conception really means, and why Catholics honor her. They also explore the powerful story and enduring impact of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A simple, thoughtful conversation that brings Marian apologetics down to earth.

In this Advent episode, Anika and Buddy Martens join Katie to dive into the meaning behind the Advent wreath and why the Church invites us into a season of holy waiting. Together they explore how to wait well in a world that rushes ahead, and how simple practices—prayer, silence, and intentional preparation—can help us get ready for Christmas.

It’s a gentle, hope-filled conversation about slowing down, lighting each candle with purpose, and making room for Christ in the small moments of everyday life. Perfect for anyone longing for a deeper, more peaceful Advent season 💜.
