Today we’re happy to have author, blogger, master of the new media, and content director for Word on Fire, Brandon Vogt. He’s here to discuss Pope Francis’s visit to the United States and to hash out the things you’ve seen in the media and on your Facebook feed with what Pope Francis really said.

We recorded this episode last Thursday, so only two days into the Papal visit, but we think we touched on a lot of important themes from the Holy Father’s visit.

We have Pope Francis fever and we know if you do too you’ll enjoy this episode!

 

Mentioned in this episode:

Brandon’s new project, Help Them Return

Robert Bishop Barron’s Word on Fire Catholic Ministries

Brotherhood of Hope

Pope Francis’s address to Congress

A little bit more about Dorothy Day and Thomas Merton

Christy’s post on Dorothy Day’s autobiography, The Long Loneliness. 

Pope Francis responds to reporter, “…if they want me to recite the Creed, I can!”

Today we’re back with the second part of Mary’s incredible story of her daughter Courtney’s life. Mary shares with us the details of Courtney’s final days on earth, complete with profound moments of grace. This is a beautiful testament of the power of faith and that death does not have the final word.

We hope that you are moved by Mary’s story. Please head over to Mary’s blog to read more about Courtney and if you feel so moved donate to helping pay down the Lenaburg’s medical bills with the Paypal button on the sidebar of Mary’s blog. We know that any amount you could give would be a huge blessing to Mary’s family.

We are thrilled to be talking to the amazing Mary Lenaburg in this episode. Mary is the blogger behind Passionate Perserverance and she has an incredible story to share about her family’s journey and her daughter, Courtney.

We have followed Mary for years and the way she shared the sorrows and joys of parenting a child with special needs has inspired us so much. Mary is also an engaging storyteller and we just know you’re going to be moved by what she has to share.

We’re publishing Part One of Mary’s story this week, so check back next Tuesday for Part Two!

We’re back! After a long summer break (mostly due to Haley’s cross country move and two month road trip) we are so excited to be podcasting again.

This week we shared all about our summers!

We recapped the Edel Gathering 2015 and Christy’s obsession with the American South.

We chatted about our Fountains of Carrots whirlwind pilgrimage to Flannery O’Connor’s farm in Milledgeville, GA.

And Haley’s family’s crazy American road trip and new life as her husband Daniel begins his farming internship in Texas.

We probably shouldn’t have talked about bear attacks and compost toilets but….we did.

And we invited all our listeners to join us in the FoC Facebook Group where we chat about books, discuss ideas for episodes, and have a lot of fun. It’s called the Fountains of Carrots Raspberry Cordial Social Club. Basically it makes it easier for us to share with you since Facebook doesn’t like showing posts from pages unless we pay them money.

 

Haley’s posts about the road trip:

Our Secrets to Keeping Kids Happy on a Long Road Trip

Why You Should Take Your Kids to Caves, Monasteries, and Fancy Hotels

A Pioneer Girl Wannabe’s Dream Come True

And Haley accidentally said that the amazing Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle is available Tuesday, but it starts Wednesday, oops! It’s a brief sale full of oodles of amazing resources (including Haley’s husband Daniel’s eCookbook) for a super low price and there’s over $200 worth of bonus offers including free essential oils, credit and Mrs. Meyers soap from ePantry and more! Be sure to check it out before it disappears.

 

Links to the bundle are Haley’s affiliate link and at no additional cost to you, a portion of the sale will support her family. Thanks so much!

And P.S. Haley is turning 30 this week and celebrating with a Facebook party and some giveaways! So if you want to party in your PJs on Wednesday night (9:30 EST) just head over to the Carrots for Michaelmas Facebook Page!
