DCPP 4: Catholic Parents Need Training

Domestic Church Project Podcast

Welcome to the Domestic Church Project Podcast, a podcast for Catholic Parents. We are Bill and Nancy from Catholic Sprouts, and we aren't starting this podcast because we have it all figured out. Not at all. We are very much in the trenches of parenthood, with five young children. We worry too much, and yell too much...and rely on God too little.

BUT!

We want to do better, and we want to link arms with you as we embrace the greatest calling of our lives: to RAISE SAINTS and to BUILD DOMESTIC CHURCHES.

It is our hope that by sharing the REALITY of our lives was parents struggling with our own issues as we attempt to raise saints and build a Domestic Church that you will be inspired to get to work in your own homes.

And so that's what this podcast is. This podcast is a place for us to discuss what it means to be Catholic Parents, a place where we can share our struggles and insights, a place where we can challenge each other to be just a little bit better and rely on God just a little bit more each and every day.

And so, welcome!

If you are a REAL Catholic Parent who loves the Church but struggles to know HOW to teach the faith and engage the hearts of your kids, then you are in the right spot.

And we hope that you not only listen but that you commit to getting to work in your own home and that you consider sharing your unique story with us! We are each called to be a unique Domestic Church, and the more stories we hear about what is going on in other homes the better!

In future episodes you can look forward to Bill and I sharing our own struggles as parents and the small insights that we can gain. We also plan to bring on other Catholic Parents of all types including single parents, parents married to non-catholics and Catholic parents from all over the country and the world.

It's going to be epic!

Because no matter who you are, God knew what He was doing when He made you a parent. Even if your formation was terrible (or terribly received), even if you are super busy, even if your marriage is imperfect, even if there are wounds in your family.

Even then!

No matter what the situation might be, God is STILL calling YOU to raise saints and build a Domestic Church.

And with His grace YOU ARE UP TO THIS TASK! Believe it, and let's get to work!

Join us as we travel this path together.

You remain in your prayers, and we happily welcome any and all prayers you can offer for this little ministry!
