Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about marriage and marriage prep. Marriage is a beautiful, joyful, challenging, thing. And we’re  all familiar with Church marriage prep programs designed to help engaged couples prepare to enter into the sacrament of marriage. With the proper mindset and preparation, a couple can increase their odds of having a strong, Christ-centered marriage. But no one is ever truly ready for what marriage brings. So today we’re talking about questions that they didn’t ask during marriage prep, but probably should have.

Home But Not Alone

61. Things They Didn’t Ask During Marriage Prep (But Probably Should Have)

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re celebrating our differences. Often, we’re quick to recognize differences in how other people parent, practice Catholicism, and so much more. And once we see those differences, we can be even quicker to critique, criticize, gossip, or offer unsolicited advice and unwelcome opinions. And while we would never advocate for a relativistic approach to life, it’s important to celebrate and learn from our differences. So today, we’re talking about our differences.

60. Differences Between Tim and Sara

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re going around the world for Easter. We're currently in the Holiest week of the Year and the Church celebrating the resurrection truly is a global Church. And how people celebrate can vary based on geographic region, religious practices, and even family habits. We don’t always know where these traditions come from, but we know that they are meant to help us celebrate the glory of Christ’s resurrection. So today we’re traveling to different countries to find out how they celebrate Easter. Learn More: Visit our Podcast website HBNApodcast.com to learn more and subscribe.

59. Easter Around the World

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re traveling back to the 90s to get advice from the greatest teacher of all time, Mr. George Feeny. On the classic sitcom Boy Meets World, Mr. Feeny served as the educator, mentor, and surrogate father to the main characters. But his classroom lessons paled in comparison to his wisdom and life-lessons. So today we’re looking at some of the life-lessons from Mr. Feeny that we want our kids to hear.

58. Advice From Mr. Feeny That We Want Our Kids to Know

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about the movies we miss. Movies are great! Carrying on the centuries-old tradition of storytelling, movies can entertain us, allow us a brief escape to feel refreshed, and even inspire us. But as parents we rarely get to PICK the movies WE want. So today we’re logging out of Disney plus, turning off Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and saving the veggies in VeggieTales for dinner. Because today, we’re talking about grown up movies. Learn More: Visit our Podcast website HBNApodcast.com to learn more and subscribe.

Have you ever told your kids to take a break and “Think About the choices they made”? This is a practice that not only toddlers need, but parents, too! Our lives are filled with choices to make. Today we’re going to talk about discernment and prudence - two things needed to make good and holy choices. And we’re going to play a game of Would You Rather to put our decision making skills to use! Learn More: Visit our Podcast website HBNApodcast.com to learn more and subscribe.

56. Now Think About the Choice You Made!!!

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re learning new languages, love languages! Love languages are just methods of giving and receiving love. Just like how we most often speak the language we best understand, we tend to love in the way we want to be loved. Which is why we need to recognize our love language and the love language of those whom we love.

55. What Love Languages Do You Speak?

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about things your grandma lied to you about. Old wives tales: we’ve all heard them before; and they’re easy to believe. Whether they were passed down by grandma (who I’m sure WASN’T lying to you intentionally), based on bad science, or even spread as a rumor by British military intelligence, these fictional tales have been adopted as facts. And today, we’re gonna fact-check them!

54. Your Grandma Lied to You About These Things

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re finding inspiration from the lives of some pretty holy people. We’re talking about Saints, Blesseds, and other Holy people. Too often we think of Saints as people from hundreds or thousands of years ago. But even when people overcome that temptation, many of us still think of Saints as people from the other side of the globe (such as. Mother Teresa, John Paul II, or Blessed Carlo Acutis). So today we’re chatting about American Saints, Blesseds, and other Holy people. Learn More: Visit our Podcast website HBNApodcast.com to learn more and subscribe.

53. American Saints You'll Want to be Friends With

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re talking about things we’re bad at. Have you ever compared yourself unfairly to other parents? We have! But living humbly requires us to embrace our success and our failures, our strengths and our weaknesses. So we’re going to fight the temptation to be pinterest perfect parent by sharing just some of the things we aren’t good at.

52. Why It's Okay to be an Un-Perfect Parent

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re working on our communication skills. As parents, we spend a lot of time with our kids. And when we do get the opportunity to chat with other adults, we quickly realize that we’ve forgotten how to have adult conversations. So let’s practice breaking the ice with some fun and unconventional icebreaker questions.

49. A Day in the Life of a Toddler - Challenge!

Today on Home But Not Alone we’re going to learn about another virtue (you know this is one of Sara's fave topics!)  This time we’re talking about Fortitude!  Sara is really excited about this episode, because when Tim asked her what virtue she wanted to talk about, and she suggested Fortitude, he wasn’t quite sure he knew exactly what that meant…  And a lot of us have been there - unaware of what these virtues mean, exactly, and how to practice them. Which is why studying and practicing the virtues is so important! So let’s dive into Fortitude today! Book on Virtues: If you loved learning about the virtue of Fortitude and want to learn more about the theological and cardinal virtues, check out Sara's book: Becoming Holy, One Virtue at a Time.
