      <title>Rebuilding the Church Through Mission, Leadership, and Renewal with Tim Glemkowski - 04/20/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tim Glemkowski, Executive Director of Amazing Parish, joins the show to discuss his new white paper <i>Rebuild My Church</i>—a call to rediscover the Church’s mission in a changing world.</p>
<p>Drawing inspiration from <strong>Saint Francis of Assisi</strong>, Tim explains why true renewal isn’t about programs, but about holiness, leadership, and a return to the Gospel. He shares key insights from working with over 1,100 pastors, including the urgent need for strong parish leadership teams, the role of the laity in mission, and how parishes can overcome burnout and cultural challenges.</p>
<p>As the Church navigates a post-Christian—and possibly post-secular—society, this conversation offers hope and clarity on how parishes can become vibrant centers of discipleship and transformation.</p>

      <title>From Skepticism to Faith — A Convert’s Journey Home with Dennis Hogan - 04/20/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>New Catholic convert Dennis Hogan from Ascension Parish in Boone County shares his powerful journey into the Church following the Easter Vigil. Raised largely secular, Dennis describes how personal reflection, cultural events, and a search for moral grounding led him to explore Catholicism.</p>
<p>Inspired by the writings of <strong>Saint Augustine</strong>, Dennis found a deep intellectual and spiritual home in the Church—discovering truth through Scripture, tradition, and the lives of the saints. He reflects on his experience of RCIA (OCIA), the beauty of the sacraments, and how practices like the Rosary and parish life are shaping his daily faith.</p>
<p>From engineering mind to spiritual seeker, Dennis offers a compelling look at conversion, humility, and what it means to truly “come home” to the Catholic Church.</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - 04/20/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of <i>Catholic Morning Show</i>, we explore powerful stories of conversion, renewal, and the mission of the Church today.</p>
<p>First, new Catholic convert Dennis Hogan shares his journey into the Church after the Easter Vigil. Coming from a largely secular background, Dennis reflects on the moment that sparked his search for truth, the intellectual depth he discovered in Catholicism, and how the writings of <strong>Saint Augustine</strong> helped lead him home. His story highlights the beauty of the sacraments, the richness of tradition, and the personal transformation that comes from encountering Christ.</p>
<p>Then, Tim Glemkowski of Amazing Parish joins us to discuss his new white paper <i>Rebuild My Church</i>. Drawing from years of working with parish leaders across the country, Tim outlines a vision for authentic Church renewal rooted in holiness, strong leadership, and missionary discipleship. Inspired by the call of <strong>Saint Francis of Assisi</strong>, he explains why renewal starts not with programs, but with a return to the Gospel.</p>
<p>Together, these conversations offer a compelling look at how the Holy Spirit is moving—from individual hearts to entire parishes—calling the Church to deeper faith, renewed purpose, and bold mission.</p>

      <title>Encountering the Risen Christ and the Breaking of the Bread with Father Chris Reising - 04/17/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Father Chris Reising joins the <i>Catholic Morning Show</i> to reflect on the Road to Emmaus Gospel for the Third Sunday of Easter. He explores why the disciples failed to recognize Jesus at first and how their eyes were opened in the breaking of the bread.</p>
<p>Drawing a powerful connection to the Mass, Father Rising explains how Christ is revealed through both Scripture and the Eucharist, inviting us into a deeper encounter with the Risen Lord. This reflection challenges listeners to consider whether they truly recognize Christ in their own lives and respond with the same urgency and joy as the disciples.</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - 04/17/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On today’s <i>Catholic Morning Show</i>, we reflect on the transforming power of encountering the Risen Christ, dive into the timeless spirituality of St. Thérèse, and explore a dynamic pro-life mission in action.</p>
<p>First, Father Chris Rising joins us for a Gospel reflection on the Road to Emmaus, unpacking how the disciples’ encounter with Jesus in the breaking of the bread mirrors the Mass and challenges us to recognize Christ more deeply.</p>
<p>Then, Jason Gale from TAN Books introduces a new work on the spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, highlighting six practical keys to living her “Little Way” in everyday life.</p>
<p>Finally, Chris Massaro, president of Biking for Babies, shares how young adults are being transformed through mission-driven cycling pilgrimages that promote the dignity of life and support pregnancy centers across the country.</p>
<p>It’s a powerful episode centered on recognition, transformation, and living out the Gospel in daily life.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s <i>Catholic Morning Show</i>, we reflect on the transforming power of encountering the Risen Christ, dive into the timeless spirituality of St. Thérèse, and explore a dynamic pro-life mission in action.</p>
<p>First, Father Chris Rising joins us for a Gospel reflection on the Road to Emmaus, unpacking how the disciples’ encounter with Jesus in the breaking of the bread mirrors the Mass and challenges us to recognize Christ more deeply.</p>
<p>Then, Jason Gale from TAN Books introduces a new work on the spirituality of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, highlighting six practical keys to living her “Little Way” in everyday life.</p>
<p>Finally, Chris Massaro, president of Biking for Babies, shares how young adults are being transformed through mission-driven cycling pilgrimages that promote the dignity of life and support pregnancy centers across the country.</p>
<p>It’s a powerful episode centered on recognition, transformation, and living out the Gospel in daily life.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Author and entrepreneur Peter Giersch joins the show to talk about his book <i>Talking of Michelangelo: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell in the Burgundy Region</i>.

      <title>Beyond Swiping: Building Real Catholic Community for Singles with Bethany Kline - 04/13/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In a world of swipe fatigue and digital isolation, Bethany Kline introduces a new approach to connection through the 365 Catholic Singles Community. Offering nightly virtual gatherings centered on prayer and fellowship, the community helps Catholic singles rediscover authentic relationships rooted in faith.</p>
<p>Bethany shares insights into the “loneliness paradox,” explaining why dating apps often fail to foster meaningful connection and how her community provides a Christ-centered alternative. She also previews the upcoming Pentecost Pilgrimage in St. Augustine at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, where singles can gather in person for prayer, fellowship, and shared faith experiences.</p>
<p>From Zoom rosaries to national retreats, this conversation highlights how intentional Catholic community can restore hope, combat isolation, and help individuals pursue their vocation—especially the call to marriage.</p>

      <title>Pilgrimage for the Unborn: 67 Miles of Prayer Across Des Moines with AJ Brown &amp; Bryan Gonzalez - 04/13/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>A bold and faith-filled journey is coming to Des Moines. AJ Brown discusses his upcoming “Pilgrimage for the Unborn,” a 33-hour, 67-mile walk connecting Catholic parishes across the metro with prayer, sacrifice, and public witness. Beginning with Mass and a rosary, the pilgrimage will include stops at churches throughout the area, praying 20 rosaries along the way.</p>
<p>Brian Gonzalez of Innervisions explains how listeners can get involved—whether by walking a segment, pledging support per mile or per rosary, or contributing financially. With a $5,000 matching gift challenge and opportunities to join along the route, this event invites the entire community to take part in a visible, prayerful stand for life.</p>
<p>Listeners will also hear the inspiring origin story behind the pilgrimage, how AJ is preparing physically and spiritually, and how this initiative aims to unite the community in prayer, sacrifice, and awareness.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today on <i>The Catholic Morning Show</i>, we explore two inspiring ways Catholics are living out their faith through action, sacrifice, and community.</p>
<p>First, AJ Brown shares his ambitious “Pilgrimage for the Unborn,” a 67-mile, 33-hour journey across the Des Moines metro, stopping at Catholic parishes to pray the rosary and raise awareness for the dignity of life. Joined by Brian Gonzalez of Innervisions, they explain how listeners can participate—by walking, praying, or supporting the mission financially.</p>
<p>Then, Bethany Kline introduces the 365 Catholic Singles Community, a unique initiative helping singles move beyond dating apps through nightly virtual fellowship rooted in prayer and authentic connection. She also previews an upcoming Pentecost pilgrimage in St. Augustine at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, offering a meaningful in-person experience centered on faith and community.</p>
<p>From local witness to national outreach, today’s conversations reveal how Catholics are building a culture of life and connection in today’s world.</p>

      <title>Hans Plate: New Study Reveals Why Catholics Avoid Confession—and Why They’ll Come Back – 04/07/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why aren’t more Catholics going to confession—and what might bring them back?</p>
<p><strong>Hans Plate</strong>, founder of Vinea Research, discusses a first-of-its-kind national study on confession and what it reveals about the spiritual lives of Catholics today.</p>
<p>💡 In this interview, you’ll discover:</p>
<ul>
 <li>The real reasons Catholics avoid confession</li>
 <li>Why many haven’t rejected the sacrament—but drifted away</li>
 <li>The surprising percentage of Catholics open to returning</li>
 <li>The deeper “fruits” of confession beyond forgiveness</li>
 <li>How better understanding Catholics can lead to renewal</li>
</ul>
<p>📊 This research offers both clarity and hope for the future of the Church.</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - 03/30/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today on <i>The Catholic Morning Show</i>, we’re inspired by two powerful conversations rooted in faith, mission, and discipleship.</p>
<p>First, Mary Carmen, a perpetual pilgrim for the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, shares what it means to carry the Blessed Sacrament across the country as part of the ongoing Eucharistic Revival. She explains the purpose of the pilgrimage, the historic National Eucharistic Pilgrimage, and how Catholics can spiritually and physically participate in this nationwide movement.</p>
<p>Then, Todd Walatka of the University of Notre Dame discusses his book <i>Mission to Love: 30 Days with Oscar Romero</i>, offering insight into the prayer life, spiritual depth, and prophetic witness of Oscar Romero. He highlights how Romero’s example challenges us to live out the Gospel through both prayer and action in today’s world.<br>

      <title>Orchestra for Oliver - Even the Shortest Lives are Special - 03/09/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Laura Stewart</strong> joins the Catholic Morning Show to share the heartfelt story behind her children’s book <i>Orchestra for Oliver: Even the Shortest Lives Are Special</i>.</p>
<p>Inspired by her family’s experience after her grandson Oliver received a prenatal diagnosis that he would not survive long after birth, Stewart wrote the book to help families talk about grief, loss, and faith. Through a gentle narrative centered on music, memory, and family love, the story helps children understand the loss of a sibling while honoring the beauty and dignity of every life.</p>
<p>The book also includes prayers and practical ideas for families navigating similar experiences and encourages remembering and honoring loved ones who lived very short lives.</p>
<p>The book releases in April and is available for preorder.</p>

      <title>Wisdom from the Cross: The Seven Last Words of Jesus - Casey Chalk - 03/06/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Casey Chalk</strong>, author of <a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/?product=wisdom-from-the-cross" rel="noopener noreferrer"><i>Wisdom from the Cross: How Jesus’s Seven Last Words Teach Us to Live and Die Well</i></a>, joins The Catholic Morning Show to reflect on one of the Church’s most powerful Lenten devotions.</p>
<p>The <strong>Seven Last Words of Christ</strong> have been meditated upon for centuries by saints, theologians, and the Church Fathers. Chalk explains how these final words from Jesus encapsulate the entire Gospel message, revealing lessons about forgiveness, suffering, redemption, and the meaning of a holy death.</p>
<p>Drawing from Scripture, Catholic theology, and literary tradition, Chalk invites Catholics to enter more deeply into the Passion during Lent and prepare spiritually for Holy Week.</p>

      <title>Sunday Gospel Prep: Jesus and the Woman at the Well - Fr. Chris Reising - 03/06/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Fr. Chris Reising</strong>, pastor of <strong>All Saints Parish in Des Moines</strong>, joins The Catholic Morning Show for Sunday Gospel Prep.</p>
<p>This week’s Gospel focuses on <strong>Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well</strong>, a powerful moment revealing humanity’s longing for the “living water” that only Christ can give. Fr. Reising explains how this encounter mirrors the deeper thirst within every human heart — the longing for God.</p>
<p>He also highlights how the woman becomes one of the first evangelizers after encountering Christ, reminding us that baptism is not simply a moment but a call to live and proclaim the Gospel to others.</p>
<p>This reflection offers a rich Lenten meditation as we continue our journey toward Easter.<br>

      <title>St. Augustine and the Restless Heart: Lenten Reflections with David Delio - 03/05/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>David Delio continues a Lenten reflection series on the theology of the human heart.</p>
<p>Drawing on the teachings of Augustine of Hippo, Delio explains that the heart represents the deepest center of the human person—the place where love, commitment, and decision converge.</p>
<p>He reflects on Augustine’s famous line that our hearts are restless until they rest in God and explores how virtue ultimately depends on the ordering of our loves.</p>
<p>Delio also discusses the work of Image and Likeness and its ministry initiatives, including the “Broken and Beloved” program dedicated to helping women find healing and restoration after trauma.</p>

      <title>Understanding Generational Sin with Dr. Dan Schneider - 03/05/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dan Schneider discusses his book <i>The Sins of the Father: A Catholic and Biblical Approach to Generational Curses</i>, published by TAN Books.</p>
<p>Schneider explores how Scripture and Catholic theology address the idea that sin can have lasting effects across generations—not in a deterministic or fatalistic way, but through the natural and spiritual consequences of human actions.</p>
<p>He clarifies misconceptions about “generational healing” practices and explains that the true remedy lies in the sacramental life of the Church: confession, the Eucharist, virtue, and living in the state of grace.</p>
<p>Schneider also shares more about the work of the Holy League Institute, which provides formation and teaching on spiritual warfare and the Catholic life of holiness.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dan Schneider discusses his book <i>The Sins of the Father: A Catholic and Biblical Approach to Generational Curses</i>, published by TAN Books.</p>
<p>Schneider explores how Scripture and Catholic theology address the idea that sin can have lasting effects across generations—not in a deterministic or fatalistic way, but through the natural and spiritual consequences of human actions.</p>
<p>He clarifies misconceptions about “generational healing” practices and explains that the true remedy lies in the sacramental life of the Church: confession, the Eucharist, virtue, and living in the state of grace.</p>
<p>Schneider also shares more about the work of the Holy League Institute, which provides formation and teaching on spiritual warfare and the Catholic life of holiness.</p>

      <title>Third Sunday of Lent Reflection: Water from the Rock - Deacon Randy Kiel - 03/05/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Randy Kiel offers a reflection on the readings for the <strong>Third Sunday of Lent</strong>, focusing on the story from Book of Exodus where Moses strikes the rock and water flows for the Israelites in the desert.</p>
<p>Deacon Kiel explains that the hardships faced by the Israelites reveal an important spiritual truth: following God’s will does not guarantee an easy path. Instead, suffering and obstacles can become moments where God’s presence becomes most visible.</p>
<p>The rock in the desert becomes a profound symbol pointing forward to Christ, who would later be struck on the Cross so that living water—grace and salvation—could flow for the world.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<h3>Sunday Gospel Reflection with Deacon Randy Kiel</h3>
<p>Randy Kiel reflects on the readings for the <strong>Third Sunday of Lent</strong>, focusing on the dramatic moment in Book of Exodus when God provides water from the rock in the desert.</p>
<p>Deacon Kiel highlights how the Israelites’ struggles remind us that following God’s will does not remove hardship. Instead, trials often reveal God’s presence more deeply. The rock struck by Moses becomes a powerful biblical image pointing toward Christ, from whom living water flows for the salvation of the world.</p>
<h3>Generational Sin & Spiritual Warfare with Dr. Dan Schneider</h3>
<p>Dan Schneider joins the show to discuss his new book <i>The Sins of the Father: A Catholic and Biblical Approach to Generational Curses</i>, published by TAN Books.</p>
<p>Drawing on his decades of experience working in deliverance ministry, Schneider explains the Catholic understanding of generational sin, how it differs from popular misconceptions about “family curses,” and why the sacramental life of the Church is the Christian’s strongest defense against spiritual evil.</p>
<p>He also discusses his work with the Holy League Institute, which provides formation and catechesis for Catholics seeking deeper understanding of spiritual warfare and the life of grace.</p>
<h3>Lenten Reflection on the Human Heart with David DeLeo</h3>
<p>David DeLeo continues his Lenten reflection series on the theology of the human heart.</p>
<p>Drawing heavily on the insights of Augustine of Hippo, DeLeo explores the idea that the heart is not merely emotional but the deepest center of human decision, commitment, and love.</p>
<p>He discusses Augustine’s famous insight that our hearts are restless until they rest in God and explains how the ordering—or disordering—of our loves ultimately reveals our virtue or vice.</p>
<p>DeLeo serves as president of the Image and Likeness, which offers spiritual formation and healing ministries including their “Broken and Beloved” outreach for women seeking healing and restoration.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Marcus Grodi, founder of Coming Home Network International, joins Bo Bonner to discuss his new book<a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/?product=learning-contentment" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong> </strong><i><strong>Learning Contentment: Finding Peace Right Where You Are</strong></i></a>, published by Sophia Institute Press.</p>
<p>After decades of evangelization and helping converts enter the Church, Marcus reflects on stepping into retirement and embracing a quieter life focused on the essentials.</p>
<p>Highlights include:</p>
<p>Why discontent can lead to poor decisions</p>
<p>St. Ignatius’ wisdom about major life changes</p>
<p>Stability in a noisy world</p>
<p>The beauty of simplicity and rural life</p>
<p>Accepting where God has placed you today</p>
<p>True peace begins not by changing everything — but by surrendering to God’s will right now.</p>

      <title>The Catholic Difference in Mental Health - Deacon Randy Kiel - 03/03/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Deacon Randy Kiel, licensed mental health counselor and founder of Kardia Counseling, joins the Catholic Morning Show to reflect on how Catholic teaching shapes his approach to therapy.</p>
<p>In this conversation:</p>

<p>The role of saints like St. Teresa of Avila, St. Joan of Arc, and St. Bernadette in understanding suffering</p>
<p>Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Catholic anthropology</p>
<p>Why religious people still need mental health care</p>
<p>Mental health challenges are not a failure of faith — they are part of the human condition, and healing often requires walking with others.</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - 02/20/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>• Fr. Chris Reising, pastor of All Saints Parish in Des Moines, walks through the Sunday readings — from the Fall in Genesis to Psalm 51 and Christ’s temptation in the desert — showing how Lent calls us to repentance, responsibility for sin, prayer, fasting, and confession.</p>
<p>• Catholic speaker and author Melissa Overmyer shares insights from her new book <i>Living the Blessed Life: Seven Keys to Trusting God and Embracing Joy</i>, published by Ascension Press. She explains how faith, Scripture, and even modern research point to love as the foundation of true happiness.</p>
<p>• In her final Iowa Catholic Radio segment, journalist Renee Roden examines the debate over AI tools in Catholic life, discussing questions about truth, responsibility, human presence, and how technology should serve — not replace — authentic evangelization.</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - 02/19/2026</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>• Deacon Randy Kiel helps listeners unpack the Genesis creation account, original sin, and the promise of salvation as we begin our Lenten journey toward the Cross and Resurrection.</p>
<p>• Adam Storey, canon lawyer for the Diocese of Des Moines, explains how the Church’s liturgical year is actually part of canon law — and how its rhythms orient our lives toward Christ and the mysteries of salvation.</p>
<p>• Author Sylvia Dorham joins us to discuss her new children’s book <i>The Monks Stand Guard</i>, published by TAN Books. She shares how monastic spirituality can help children (and adults!) learn to guard their thoughts, focus on what is good, and grow closer to God.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>• Deacon Randy Kiel helps listeners unpack the Genesis creation account, original sin, and the promise of salvation as we begin our Lenten journey toward the Cross and Resurrection.</p>
<p>• Adam Storey, canon lawyer for the Diocese of Des Moines, explains how the Church’s liturgical year is actually part of canon law — and how its rhythms orient our lives toward Christ and the mysteries of salvation.</p>
<p>• Author Sylvia Dorham joins us to discuss her new children’s book <i>The Monks Stand Guard</i>, published by TAN Books. She shares how monastic spirituality can help children (and adults!) learn to guard their thoughts, focus on what is good, and grow closer to God.</p>

He gives us freedom, but we are accountable for how we use it. This reading confronts modern excuses and calls Catholics back to personal responsibility, obedience, and trust in God’s commandments.</p><p>Read the full passage here:<br /><a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021526.cfm">https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021526.cfm</a></p><p>#SundayReadings #Sirach #CatholicTeaching #FreeWill #CatholicMorningShow</p>

      <title>Isaiah 11, the Root of Jesse, and the Order of God with Deacon Randy Kiel - 12/04/2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this week’s reflection, <strong>Deacon Randy Kiel, M.A.</strong>, unpacks Isaiah 11 and the prophetic promise that a shoot will rise from the “stump”—or more accurately, the <i>rootstock</i>—of Jesse. Drawing from Hebrew imagery, he explains how the Davidic line, though seemingly destroyed in the Babylonian exile, would still bring forth the Messiah through God’s unstoppable life and fidelity.</p><p>Deacon Randy also highlights the gifts of the Spirit resting upon Christ and how these virtues echo figures like Saul and David before finding their fullness in Jesus. He connects this prophecy with the order of creation itself—pointing to the Mass as the moment when God restores that order, bringing peace, harmony, and right relationship. As he notes, the liturgy is never “the same old thing,” but always the <strong>original</strong> thing rooted in God’s eternal design.</p><p>#DeaconRandyKiel #SundayReadings #Isaiah11 #RootOfJesse #CatholicScripture #CatholicMorningShow #EucharisticLiturgy #OrderOfCreation</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - 12/02/2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today on the Catholic Morning Show, Bo Bonner and Matt Wilkom discuss the unseen but lasting impact that retreats and small groups can have on kids and teenagers. Even when young people seem disengaged, these moments often plant the seeds of faith that grow later in life.</p><p>In the second half of the show, Bo and Matt welcome <strong>Peter Carter</strong>, director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project, as well as director of sacred music for the Aquinas Institute of Princeton University and St. John the Baptist Church in Allentown, NJ. Peter shares insights from his new book co-authored with <strong>Robert Cardinal Sarah</strong>, exploring the Church’s sacred music tradition from its earliest days through Vatican II and into today’s liturgical landscape. He reflects on the beauty of authentic worship, the challenges of modern liturgical confusion, and how sacred music ultimately draws us to the person of Christ Himself.</p><p>Learn more about the Catholic Sacred Music Project: https://sacredmusicproject.org/</p><p>#CatholicMorningShow #IowaCatholicRadio #CatholicRadio #FaithFormation #YouthRetreats #SacredMusic #PeterCarter #CardinalSarah #CatholicLiturgy #BeautyInWorship</p>

      <title>The Catholic Morning Show - Thanksgiving Special - 11/27/2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[From all of us here at The Catholic Morning Show—Bo, Elise, Ayden, Alexia, and the whole Iowa Catholic Radio family—we want to wish you and your loved ones a blessed and joy-filled Thanksgiving!

Today we pause to thank God for His abundant graces, the gift of faith, and for you, our listeners, who join us each day in prayer, learning, humor, and authentic Catholic conversation.

May this Thanksgiving be a time of peace, gratitude, and grace, whether you’re gathered around a crowded table, serving others, or spending the day quietly in reflection. We pray that Christ, who is ever present in our daily blessings both big and small, fills your heart with renewed joy, hope, and thankfulness.

Happy Thanksgiving from The Catholic Morning Show—
We are grateful for you!  Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and
Brady Grimm.

      <title>Deacon Randy Kiel: When the Lowly are Heard — Reflecting on the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time - 10/23/2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Deacon Randy Kiel, founder of Kardia Counseling, joins us for a Gospel preparation segment focusing on the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time readings (Lectionary 150). The First Reading from Sirach highlights that “the prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds” and that God hears the cry of the widow and orphan. <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/102625.cfm?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank">USCCB</a> The Gospel echoes the theme with a vivid call to humility and service. Deacon Randy helps us understand how these readings challenge our priorities and invite us into deeper compassion and action.<br /><br />#CatholicMorningShow #IowaCatholicRadio #DeaconRandyKiel #SundayReadings #30thSundayOrdinaryTime #GospelReflection #FaithInAction #CatholicPodcast</p>

      <title>Broken Mary - A New Movie by Kevin Matthews former Radio Star - Kevin Matthews - 10/07/2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Kevin Matthews is a Chicago radio legend whose impersonations, pranks, and comedy brought entertainment to millions. When his health crumbles and his fame begins to fade, Matthews discovers redemption next to a dirty dumpster.

Broken Mary is Matthews’ story of his early years in radio and stand-up comedy, his successful career, his struggle with MS, and, most importantly, his divine encounter with a broken statue of Mary that changed his life—and countless others.

Told with Matthews’ signature good humor, this confession of the brokenness of mankind is touchingly honest, personally inspiring, and full of hope. Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and
Brady Grimm.

Using courtroom-style reasoning, McWhorter explores the biblical canon, challenges Protestant assumptions, and reveals how the early Church embraced the books known as the “Apocrypha.” His journey is one of faith, intellect, and the relentless pursuit of truth.</p><p>Find the book: <a href="https://canoncrossfire.com/" target="_blank">https://canoncrossfire.com/</a><br />#CanonCrossfire #CatholicApologetics #CatholicConversion #FaithJourney #BiblicalCanon #CatholicTruth #CatholicMorningShow</p>

      <itunes:summary>Leah Libresco Sergeant - Leah shares insights from her new book, The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. She challenges the misconception that equality requires women to be just like men, exposing the lie that sameness is the measure of worth. Instead, she emphasizes that every person possesses the same inherent dignity and invites us to embrace, rather than erase, the natural differences between men and women.

Leah converted to Catholicism in 2012. She is the author of three books, most recently &quot;The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto&quot;. Her freelance writing has appeared in The New York Times, First Things, The Dispatch, The New Atlantis, she has spoken at World Youth Day.

      <itunes:summary>Today on The Catholic Morning Show

Fr. Chris Reising - Fr. Chris talks about the gospel for the upcoming Sunday, the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. He gives us encouragement to not complain like the Israelites did, but instead thank God for His work in our lives.


--------

Leah Libresco Sergeant - Leah shares insights from her new book, The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto. She challenges the misconception that equality requires women to be just like men, exposing the lie that sameness is the measure of worth. Instead, she emphasizes that every person possesses the same inherent dignity and invites us to embrace, rather than erase, the natural differences between men and women.

Leah converted to Catholicism in 2012. She is the author of three books, most recently &quot;The Dignity of Dependence: A Feminist Manifesto&quot;. Her freelance writing has appeared in The New York Times, First Things, The Dispatch, The New Atlantis, she has spoken at World Youth Day. She works in family policy in Washington D.C. and lives in Maryland with her husband and children.

--------

Jeanne Thill - Jeanne gives a preview to &quot;Making It Personal&quot; with Bishop William Joensen.

--------

Fr. Reed Flood - Fr. Flood, Chaplain at Dowling Catholic High School, talks about the life of Fr. John Acrea. He also shares his personal stories with Fr. Acrea, like his influence on Fr. Flood when he was discerning the priesthood.</itunes:summary>

Under Dr. Gray’s leadership, the Augustine Institute established what is now the largest Catholic graduate school of theology in the country. The mission of the Augustine Institute also grew to include quality Catholic audio and video content for parishes, schools and families as well as K-8 curriculum. Gray led the organization’s move to St. Louis and the expansion of the Augustine Institute mission, improving on-campus resources for its graduate degree students, along with a setting for retreats, events, and other opportunities for Catholics to grow and sustain their faith. Dr. Gray has a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from the Catholic University of America and is the author of several books, including Peter: Keys to Following Jesus and Praying Scripture for a Change: An Introduction to Lectio Divina.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Mary O&apos;Reagan - 09/08/2025</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Today on the Catholic Morning Show<br /><br />Mary O'Regan is a writer who was born and raised in County Cork, Ireland. After graduating from University of Limerick, she worked as a teacher and then as a journalist in London for several years. She has blogged at Mary's Blog for 15 years and had the honor of being invited to the Vatican where she held forth on the role of more traditional Catholic bloggers. Her passion is to make accessible a synthesis of the teachings of saints, stigmatists and scholars so that as many people as possible can inherit their wisdom, and hopefully their holiness and charity. She edited the memoir, Drunks and Monks, and has spent the last 7 years working on this book about St. Padre Pio. The Rosary and the Sacred Heart Novena are her favorite prayers. A social animal, she enjoys fun with her friends, fashion, stand-up comedy and reading Agatha Christie. She lives in Los Angeles, California.<br /><br />Find the book here! <a href="https://sophiainstitute.com/product/padre-pio-and-you/" target="_blank">https://sophiainstitute.com/product/padre-pio-and-you/</a><br /> </p>
