Have you ever looked at your life, your messy living room, your emotional exhaustion, the chaos of your schedule, and thought, this does not look like the holy life that I imagined? If so, you are not alone.
Today's conversation is for you, my friend, who is trying to live your faith deeply, but feels like you're failing at the ideal.
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, author and mother Christine Hanus shares how the ideals of Catholic motherhood often collide with exhaustion, limitations, and unmet expectations.
With wisdom drawn from decades of raising five children and her own journey through spiritual dryness and physical hardship, Christine offers encouragement rooted in daily surrender, prayer, and trust in God’s grace.
If you've ever wondered whether you're doing enough, or struggled to see fruit in the hidden work of family life, this episode will remind you that sainthood is possible - even in the mess.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
