• The Chaplet of Divine Mercy (Chanted)
    Mar 24 2024

    With Holy Week quickly approaching, I wanted to make sure everyone had a simple guide to the Divine Mercy Novena for the plenary indulgence offered this time each year! New episodes coming soon!

    https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/devotions/novena-13366

    In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:

    "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ... On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls."

    Day 1: All mankind, especially sinners
    Day 2: The souls of priests and religious
    Day 3: All devout and faithful souls
    Day 4: Those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus
    Day 5: The souls who have separated themselves from the Church
    Day 6: The meek and humble souls and the souls of little children
    Day 7: The souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy
    Day 8: The souls detained in purgatory
    Day 9: The souls who have become lukewarm

  • The Man Who Almost Wasn't with Zach Esters
    May 18 2022

    Join me in my conversation with Zach Esters, a Nashville-based cinematographer, producer & day trader as we talk about the value of life... and his close call with losing his.

    Zach's Facebook Post:
    "Mama loves to tell me me this story of how her story being pregnant with me was a mirror experience to the woman in Nick Cannon’s music video “Can I Live”, where she faced pressures around her to “abort”. Legit everyone advised her to get rid of me; her family, her significant other, some of her friends even.

    She was driven to the only clinic in the state 2 hours away. At the last minute before being put to sleep, she got up off of the abortion table and ran like the wind. In other words, “I almost didn’t make it”. Didn’t know what that meant until I was a lot older, but I was a hair away from not existing period and not getting to partake in this wonderful experience that we call “life” with all of you. So many memories made, so many smiles created, lives changed, and so much more change coming to the planet — all because of this woman who birthed me at 18 and raised me; her first son. Today I’m reflecting back on what this world would’ve looked like if I alternatively didn’t exist, and if my footprint wasn’t here. How that would’ve impacted my family, siblings, friends, colleagues…. and workplace environments that I otherwise would not have been a part of. It is absolutely a drastically different reality, and I’m so grateful to get to be here with all of my family — and by family, I mean all of you… all humans, period.

    Also gotta add that aside from inspiring, she’s just dope and funny af! Happy Mother’s Day to the greatest. Period.

    #mothersday #canilive #happymothersday #smiles #life"

  • I Stand With Women
    May 5 2022

    The overturning of Roe v. Wade? Let's talk.

    "I'm not pro-murdering babies.

    I'm pro-Becky who found out at her 20-week anatomy scan that the infant she had been so excited to bring into this world had developed without life sustaining organs.

    I'm pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted on her way home from work, only to come to the horrific realization that her assailant planted his seed in her when she got a positive pregnancy test result a month later.

    I'm pro-Theresa who hemorrhaged due to a placental abruption, causing her parents, spouse, and children to have to make the impossible decision on whether to save her or her unborn child.

    I'm pro-little Cathy who had her innocence ripped away from her by someone she should have been able to trust and her 11-year-old body isn't mature enough to bear the consequence of that betrayal.

    I'm pro-Melissa who's working two jobs just to make ends meet and has to choose between bringing another child into poverty or feeding the children she already has because her spouse walked out on her.

    I'm pro-Brittany who realizes that she is in no way financially, emotionally, or physically able to raise a child.

    I'm pro-Emily who went through IVF, ending up with SIX viable implanted eggs requiring selective reduction to ensure the safety of her and a SAFE number of fetuses.

    I'm pro-Jessica who is FINALLY getting the strength to get away from her physically abusive spouse only to find out that she is carrying the monster's child.

    I'm pro-Vanessa who went into her confirmation appointment after YEARS of trying to conceive only to hear silence where there should be a heartbeat.

    I'm pro-Lindsay who lost her virginity in her sophomore year with a broken condom and now has to choose whether to be a teenage mom or just a teenager.

    I'm pro-Courtney who just found out she's already 13 weeks along, but the egg never made it out of her fallopian tube so either she terminates the pregnancy or risks dying from internal bleeding.

    You can argue and say that I'm pro-choice all you want, but the truth is:

    I'm pro-life.

    Their lives.

    Women's lives.

    You don't get to pick and choose which scenarios should be accepted. It's not about which stories you don't agree with. It's about fighting for the women in the stories that you do agree with and the CHOICE that was made.

    Women's rights are meant to protect ALL women, regardless of their situation!

    Overturning Roe does not stop abortions, it stops SAFE abortions!

    Abortion is healthcare."
