The Catholic Morning Show - 02/20/2026

• Fr. Chris Reising, pastor of All Saints Parish in Des Moines, walks through the Sunday readings — from the Fall in Genesis to Psalm 51 and Christ’s temptation in the desert — showing how Lent calls us to repentance, responsibility for sin, prayer, fasting, and confession.

• Catholic speaker and author Melissa Overmyer shares insights from her new book Living the Blessed Life: Seven Keys to Trusting God and Embracing Joy, published by Ascension Press. She explains how faith, Scripture, and even modern research point to love as the foundation of true happiness.

• In her final Iowa Catholic Radio segment, journalist Renee Roden examines the debate over AI tools in Catholic life, discussing questions about truth, responsibility, human presence, and how technology should serve — not replace — authentic evangelization.

Listen weekday mornings at 7am CT on Iowa Catholic Radio.
