Idaho Catholic Podcast

For nearly ten summers, our family immersed ourselves in the Catholic life by living simply in Guatemala—embracing unfamiliar food, learning a new language, and collaborating closely with villagers to provide clean water to remote communities. These transformative experiences fueled our spiritual growth and deepened our understanding of Catholic spirituality. In this episode of The Catholic Journey, I share how these mission trips, combined with nearly 20 years of service as a deacon, revealed a powerful truth: the Catholic life is not meant to be comfortable—it's an adventurous path of honest faith discussion and spiritual growth. Join me as I recount how living the Catholic life in such a profound way shaped our faith forever and inspired a richer, deeper journey of faith.
