Author and entrepreneur Peter Giersch joins the show to talk about his book Talking of Michelangelo: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell in the Burgundy Region. Drawing inspiration from both classic theology and modern culture, Giersch shares how a monastery retreat reshaped his understanding of sin, mercy, and eternity.

Blending influences like The Catcher in the Rye and Mere Christianity, the book offers a conversational yet deeply reflective look at Catholic teaching. Listeners are invited to engage with the harder truths of the faith while finding God in everyday experiences.

In a world of swipe fatigue and digital isolation, Bethany Kline introduces a new approach to connection through the 365 Catholic Singles Community. Offering nightly virtual gatherings centered on prayer and fellowship, the community helps Catholic singles rediscover authentic relationships rooted in faith.

Bethany shares insights into the “loneliness paradox,” explaining why dating apps often fail to foster meaningful connection and how her community provides a Christ-centered alternative. She also previews the upcoming Pentecost Pilgrimage in St. Augustine at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, where singles can gather in person for prayer, fellowship, and shared faith experiences.

From Zoom rosaries to national retreats, this conversation highlights how intentional Catholic community can restore hope, combat isolation, and help individuals pursue their vocation—especially the call to marriage.

A bold and faith-filled journey is coming to Des Moines. AJ Brown discusses his upcoming “Pilgrimage for the Unborn,” a 33-hour, 67-mile walk connecting Catholic parishes across the metro with prayer, sacrifice, and public witness. Beginning with Mass and a rosary, the pilgrimage will include stops at churches throughout the area, praying 20 rosaries along the way.

Brian Gonzalez of Innervisions explains how listeners can get involved—whether by walking a segment, pledging support per mile or per rosary, or contributing financially. With a $5,000 matching gift challenge and opportunities to join along the route, this event invites the entire community to take part in a visible, prayerful stand for life.

Listeners will also hear the inspiring origin story behind the pilgrimage, how AJ is preparing physically and spiritually, and how this initiative aims to unite the community in prayer, sacrifice, and awareness.
