In this episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn sits down with Catholic author Rosemary McGuire Berry to talk about her newest book, Piety & Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints. Together, they explore how understanding the four classic temperaments—choleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic—can help us grow in holiness, parent with more peace, and live with greater self-awareness.

Rosemary shares how the temperaments show up in the lives of the saints and what each temperament can teach us about our strengths and struggles. Whether you're a choleric mom, a melancholic teen, or a phlegmatic dad, this episode will encourage you to live more intentionally and joyfully in the truth of who God made you to be.

In this special episode, I sit down with Fr Scott Traynor to explore the profound meaning of the Jubilee Year — a time of renewal, mercy, and pilgrimage deeply rooted in Scripture and Jewish tradition. Together, we unpack why the Church celebrates Jubilee Years, what it means to embark on a pilgrimage, and how these sacred experiences invite us to encounter God’s abundant grace.

Whether you’re planning a physical pilgrimage or journeying spiritually at home, this episode offers practical ways to enter into the Jubilee Year with intention and hope. Discover how this year is an opportunity for every Christian to embrace renewal & rest, seek reconciliation, and walk forward as a pilgrim on the path of faith.

Tune in for thoughtful reflections, historical insights, and encouragement to make this Jubilee Year a transformative experience — no matter where your journey takes you.
