Joseph talks to author Kevin Wells about St. John Vianney and his lessons for parents today. Purchase Kevin's book here: https://kevinwells.org/books Kevin Wells is a Catholic writer, speaker, and former sports reporter with the Tampa Tribune, where he covered major-league baseball. He is the author of the best-selling Catholic book The Priests We Need to Save the Church (Sophia, 2019) and Burst, A Story of God’s Grace When Life Falls Apart (Servant). His most recent best-selling book, Priest and Begger, tells the story of the heroic life of Venerable Aloysius Schwartz, a priest from Washington DC who went on to serve the poor in South Korea. Within 15 years, Father Schwartz had changed the course of Korean history, founding and reforming orphanages, hospitals, hospices, clinics, schools, and the Sisters of Mary, a Korean religious order dedicated to the sickest of the sick and the poorest of the poor. All the while, he himself—like the Sisters—lived the same hard poverty as the people he served and loved. Wells is currently the president of the Monsignor Thomas Wells Society for Vocations. He also serves a Director of Public Relations for World Villages of Children, which supports the works of Fr. Al Schwartz. His work with youths earned him the James Cardinal Hickey National Figure Award from the Archdiocese of Washington. He lives in Millersville, Md., with his wife and three children.

We're joined with Amanda Teixeira, co-founder of WalletWin , to talk about her time as a full-time missionary and the lessons and fruit that came from years with FOCUS and beyond! Hear how she was at the beginning of both FOCUS Greek and FOCUS Summer Projects! In January 2012, FOCUS missionary Amanda Teixeira, and her husband, Jonathan, had $25,000 in debt and a deep desire to break free. A short — and zealous — seven and half months later they wrote their last check to Sallie Mae and closed the doors on debt forever. Since kicking debt to the curb, they’ve focused on saving, investing and giving in a way that set them up for total financial peace for a lifetime. Upon hearing their story, a few people asked them money questions — and they answered. That snowballed into hundreds of answers, speaking at events, providing financial coaching, and in 2017, founding WalletWin to provide Catholic financial formation for the whole family. They are authors of How to Attack Debt, Build Savings, and Change the World Through Generosity: A Catholic Guide to Managing Money , hosts of The Catholic Money Show, and creators of The Catholic Money Course, and The Catholic Family Emergency Binder. They have appeared on EWTN, FORMED.org, and are regular guests on Relevant Radio. Their financial formation programs are used by parishes, dioceses, and schools across the country. Jonathan and Amanda live in Omaha, Nebraska with their four children.

A Word from Our Outpost, with Joseph and Crystal Gruber

This topic probably deserves a longer episode treating it, but I really wanted to get some thoughts about feeling homeless from the two primary institutions (family and Church), and especially from feeling so from within the institutions. There are a great number of people who come to Mass and don't feel at home, just as there are a great many who live at an address that doesn't feel all that homely. This isn't to dismiss the tragedy of being physically homeless-- I think I mentioned in the episode that physical homelessness is more visible, and after the fact, remembered that a great many homeless disguise their homelessness by roving from one friend's/family member's house to another-- what I meant was moreso that there is a physical malady there, and it is point-to-able in a way that spiritual homelessness isn't. Anywho, I still recommend the book True Leadership: https://amzn.to/4ju0AmI (and this link actually earns us a commission!
