January Donovan, founder of the Woman School, joins Fr. Sam Kachuba and Matt Sperrazza to discuss her healing journey and the need she sees for formation for women in the United States (and internationally!)

About January: January Donovan is the founder of The Woman School, a Mindset and Skill-based training for women. The School grew from 0-40+ countries in just 3 years because of the massive transformation women were achieving through the programs, community, and mentorship.

January is also leading a Feminine Revival, a global movement dedicated to reclaiming femininity in a culture that has lost its moral and formative compass. At a time when women are more educated and empowered than ever, yet increasingly overwhelmed, fragmented, and unfulfilled, January offers a proven and scalable solution to the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual crisis women are facing today.

Her message is neither a return to fragile femininity nor an embrace of vicious feminism, but a bold vision for a flourishing future for women through formation. She is on a mission to restore women's original design as nurturers of humanity and become pillars to raise the standard of culture.

Dr. Jennifer Bryson joins the Tangent to discuss the life of Ida Görres, the author of Bread Grows in Winter. In the words of Ignatius Press,

"Ida Friederike Görres was one of the brightest, most penetrating Catholic writers in twentieth-century Europe. Bishop Erik Varden has called her “a treasure we should again make our own”, while Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI), at her funeral, labeled her a “brave and faithful woman”, with “an insightful certainty . . . about the pressing questions and tasks of the Church today”. Yet her work is almost entirely unknown in the English-speaking world today."

Dr. Jennifer Bryson earned a BA from Stanford University in Political Science, an MA from Yale University in History, and a PhD from Yale in Greco-Arabic and Islamic Studies from the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. As an undergraduate at Stanford, she studied Marxism-Leninism for two semesters at the Karl Marx University in the former East Germany.

Dr. Jennifer S. Bryson is a Fellow in Catholic Studeies at the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) in Washington, DC. She is currently translating and studying works by the Catholic authors Ida Friederike Görres (1901–1971), Joseph Görres (1776–1848), Joseph Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI), and Oda Schneider (1892–1987) from German to English. In 1934, Schneider published the first book ever against the ordination of women.​

• the reality of Spiritual warfare
• the importance of recognizing the difference between power and authority in the spiritual life

• Making reparation in spiritual warfare
• generational sin and curses.
