Feeling like you're in a whirlwind season? Join us as we talk about deadlines, dental visits, sports schedules, field trips, and creative pressure—and find God speaking right into the chaos. With humor and honesty, Maeve shares how a simple Gospel reading from Luke 17 stopped her in her tracks and reframed everything she’d been carrying. From surrendering stress in the middle of real-life parenting demands to rediscovering zeal in her vocation, this episode explores what it means to serve faithfully (even when nobody sees it) and why God’s timing is never accidental. Listen in and leave encouraged to trust God with the load you're carrying today!

What You’ll Hear:

• The Gospel that reframed Maeve’s entire week
• Finding God in the middle of pressure, deadlines, and overwhelm
• A real talk moment about being called “Mom” by every doctor, coach, and receptionist
• The spiritual importance of zeal in homeschooling
• How the Surrender Novena speaks into stressful seasons
• Hilarious homeschool mishaps you will NOT believe
• Why Jesus calls us “unprofitable servants”—and why that’s actually freeing

Links Mentioned:

• Fr. Brad Doyle’s reflection on Luke 17 The Morning Offering
  
  
• The 20-minute Surrender Novena on YouTube The Surrender Novena

Maeve sits down with Andrew “Alob” Laubacher—worship leader and Executive Director of Human Reality—to talk about digital addiction and how Catholic families can reclaim time, attention, and joy. Alob shares his conversion story from “party, drugs, rock and roll” to adoration and ministry, then explains how modern platforms are engineered for compulsion (social-validation loops, intermittent rewards), and why our “phones” are really supercomputers designed to monetize our attention. He connects screen overuse to anxiety, loneliness, and a decline in empathy. He offers Human Reality’s village-based detox: phone-free meals, digital bedtimes, in-person adventures, and wiser devices (Light Phone / Wisephone). The heart of the message: attention is love—put tech back in its place so relationships, prayer, health, and real community can thrive.

• Why “phones” aren’t neutral—and the two tactics that hook us
• The cost: empathy down, loneliness up, sleep lost
• The Human Reality “village” detox: phone-free meals, digital bedtimes, real-world adventures
• Alternatives for families: Light Phone & Wisephone

It’s Maeve’s quarterly cry episode—so buckle up. Between hand-foot-and-mouth disease, a Boy Scout rebelling against a blowtorch, a dream interview gone poof, and a computer crash that would make Job weep, Maeve somehow still finds grace (and a killer football analogy). Mat’s back, the Bucs are battling, Booker T. Washington makes a cameo, and the moral of the story? Homeschooling’s a lot like making bricks without straw—but with rosaries, coffee, and a few close wins, it still builds saints.
