A few months ago I filmed two episodes for The Catholic Sphere on EWTN--how exciting! I got to chat with Ryan Penney of EWTN, Taylor Engel (@the.catechism.guy), and Alex Jurado (@voiceofreason_clips) about each of our journeys in the catholic Instagram space, as well as some more personal things about ourselves concerning our ministries. If you are curious to have an inside look at my life and a bit of a behind-the-scenes scope at my ministry, both of these episodes are for you!
In the first episode (aired 8/8/2024) I talked about when I was Mormon for a minute, and how that catapulted me deep into Catholicism. This is the major genesis point of my faith (though I had a minor one before), and it’s ultimately what led me to start creating as Uncatechized Catholic. If you haven’t heard this story, perhaps I’ll write it all down one day, but for now, you can hear about it on The Catholic Sphere and even more in-depth on my The Holy Hot Mess podcast episode.
After this, we talked a lot about my audience on Instagram, how and why what I’m doing works so well, why I’m pursuing a theology degree, the “end game” for UC, and how I balance my time as a wife, homeschooling mom, college student, homemaker, and my various jobs. Not many people know just how much I’m doing offline, but this episode gets into it. Taylor talked about his experiences seeing firsthand how hungry people are for catechesis, and Alex gets to dive into his often controversial and high-profile content.
This show was genuinely interesting to be a part of, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Keep your eyes peeled for the second episode coming in September!
