How can found our identity in being loved by God? How do we remember that we are an unrepeatable soul that is precious to our Heavenly Father? Shannon Ochoa is here to help!
Shannon serves as Co-Founder and Director of Community Care for Eden Invitation – a movement for young adult Catholics and Christians with experiences on the LGBTQ spectrums. Through their mission they create space to receive the whole person, grow systems of mutual support, and empower for creative discipleship. Shannon is the beating heart of Eden Invitation, nurturing relationships and developing the community. Shannon graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in Social Welfare and Gender & Women’s Studies. And Haley got to meet her in real life on a pilgrimage in France!
In this episode we’re diving into the genesis of Eden Invitation, the need in the Church for good ministries like Eden Invitation, and embracing Church teaching and living out the truth that each human being is beloved, unrepeatable, and deserving of community, dignity, and care. We cover a lot of ground so grab a good cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation!

We’re excited to have one of our favorite guests return to the show today: Fr. Harrison Ayre! Fr. Harrison was born and raised near Vancouver, BC. During his time at university studying philosophy, he had a profound conversion experience that brought him to live for and with Christ. Ordained a priest in 2015, he has an MDiv and MTh and is pursuing his PhD in theological anthropology at the Maryvale Institute. He is pastor of St. Peter’s Parish in Nanaimo, BC, co-host of the podcast Clerically Speaking, and co-author with Michael Heinlein of Finding Christ in the Crisis: What the Pandemic Can Teach Us. In this episode we’re talking about his brand new book Mysterion: The Revelatory Power of the Sacramental Worldview.
See? We told you the cover was beautiful!
In this episode we’re diving into sacramentally–starting at the very basics of what sacraments are. How does modernism cloud our vision (whether we realize it or not!) and hold us back from seeing God’s grace in our lives? How do we approach the Church’s sacraments like Confession and the Eucharist? How does Mary help us on our way? We cover a lot of ground so grab a good cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation!
