  • Drama-Free Discipline

    Drama-Free Discipline
    Jan 21 2026
    Guest: Dr. Ray Guarendi, clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and national radio/television host

    It was a plea for parenting help from a colleague which took Dr. Ray Guarendi’s career down a trajectory that has become his trademark: common-sense wisdom combined with self-deprecating humor. As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ray has written more than 20 books that give practical, no-nonsense guidance that helps people cut through the confusion of daily life.

    His book, Drama-Free Discipline: Dr. Ray Coaches You to Parenting Success, lays out eighteen of the most common problems parents face with children between the ages of 2 and 18. As the father of 10 adopted children and with decades of hands-on clinical experience, Dr. Ray created humorous, believable scripts for each scenario, giving parents concrete examples of typical dialogue and ways to navigate these conversations down healthy paths. Understanding that each parent has different tolerance levels for specific behaviors, Dr. Ray gives parents techniques that complement one another rather than add to the chaos. No psychobabble. No gimmicks. Just clear communication.

    This book teaches parents how to diffuse sibling rivalries and settle incessant bickering, use “blackout” discipline to calmly establish authority, and build bedtime routines that actually bring peace. Parents learn to claim their rightful roles as calm, confident leaders in the home.

    Guest Biography: Dr. Ray's radio show, “The Doctor Is In,” can be heard on over 500 stations and SiriusXM® channel 130. His EWTN television series, “Living Right With Dr. Ray,” is in its 14th season and airs in 140 countries. Dr. Ray has given over 3,000 talks on various topics including parenting, marriage, family, and the Catholic faith. He captivates audiences with his compelling humor-laced presentations providing practical advice and proven techniques.

  • Holistic Wellness Through a Catholic Lens

    Holistic Wellness Through a Catholic Lens
    Jan 14 2026
    Guest: Samantha Worthing, wife, mom, author, and nutritional therapist

    Pope St. John Paul II described the unique spiritual, emotional, and intellectual strengths inherent in women as the “feminine genius.” It is their innate desire to bring the world and the family together which drew Samantha Worthing and her co-authors into a collaboration to create an authentic integration of wellness and faith in our fast-paced world. They realized that as we journey through nature’s cycles, our human spirits yearn for the simplified life, nourishing the body and tending to the soul. The Ember Journal, a beloved seasonal print magazine for women which provides holistic wellness through a Catholic lens, became the springboard for their book, Feast Faith Flourish: Holistic Wellness in Light of Eternity.

    From the desire to integrate the cyclical nature of the Church and the liturgical seasons, Samantha calls Feast, Faith and Flourish a “retreat in print” composed of carefully selected reflections from nearly four years’ worth of favorite entries in The Ember Journal. In these exquisite pages, you will enjoy delicious recipes made with high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients. Be uplifted by beautiful, full-color photos, original meditations on the great celebrations of the year, explorations on the mysteries of the Rosary, and inspiring quotes from the saints.

    Guest biography: Samantha Worthing is a wife and mom of three young children, nutritional therapy practitioner, photographer, plant lady, and lover of all things wild and free. She lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with a city yard packed full of every kind of flower and growing thing she can get her hands on.

  • Should We Adopt Frozen Embryos?

    Should We Adopt Frozen Embryos?
    Jan 7 2026
    Guest: Matthew McKenna, PhD candidate in theology

    The Catholic Church has always taught the dignity of a person must be recognized from the moment of conception through natural death. However, new biomedical technologies have been introduced in the critical area of human life, introducing ethical issues that aren’t easily settled. In particular, the advent of in-vitro fertilization, or IVF, has not only given infertile couples the ability to have a child, but in that process has also spawned the creation of millions of fertilized eggs, or preborn humans, which are kept in a frozen state indefinitely. What happens to these nascent children?

    As Christians, what are we supposed to do about frozen embryos brought into existence as a result of IVF? Are we called to adopt and raise these children of God, or would that necessitate further evil? In his article titled, "Even if Embryo Adoption is Moral, You Shouldn’t Do It," PhD candidate Matthew McKenna offers moral clarity to this critical dilemma. Listen as Matthew discusses the angst brought on by technology which appears to be compassionate, but focuses on the end goal of a live child without fully comprehending the ethics of destroying or discarding preborn children in the process.

    Guest biography: Matthew McKenna is a cradle Catholic who attended Catholic schools all his life, but credits a supernatural encounter on a college retreat with helping him abruptly change focus. As the top graduate in business school, he left it all behind when he distinctly heard God tell him to pursue theology. Today Matthew McKenna is a PhD candidate in theology at Ave Maria University. He studies and teaches on the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, G.K. Chesterton, and J.R.R. Tolkien. His dissertation-in-progress explains the link between the masculine genius and the priesthood.
