What makes Gilbert Blythe the ultimate literary husband and father? How can we treat our vocations with more intentionality and commitment? Why are there so many resources for Catholic moms and not Catholic dads? All this AND the world’s cutest love story coming your way in today’s episode of the podcast!
We are so pleased to welcome back Tyler Blanski, friend of the show, fellow Anne of Green Gables fan, and all-around delightful guy. Tyler is an author (if you haven’t read his conversion story, treat yourself), a husband and father, and the founder of the new apostolate Fight for Milk created to equip and encourage Catholic fatherhood.
In this episode we dive into our undying love for Anne and Gilbert, why Gilbert’s attitude toward marriage and fatherhood is so refreshing, and why so many parents (including us!) enter parenthood feeling so ill-equipped. Tyler is such a fun conversation partner and this episode is uplifting and a lot of fun.
So grab a cup of tea and enjoy the conversation!
Sponsor
Today’s episode is sponsored by House of Joppa, a Catholic gift shop that exists to share the beauty of our Catholic faith in our homes through a variety of home decor pieces, Catholic art, Saint candles, statues, paper goods and beautifully crafted jewelry.
Why House of Joppa?
“What’s in a name?” as Shakespeare so famously asked. House of Joppa is rooted in scripture.
Acts 9:36-42 tells the story of a faithful disciple named Tabitha from Joppa who was known for her good works and helping the poor. In a few short verses, Scripture tells us the miraculous story of how Tabitha died and was raised to life again by St. Peter. The story spread throughout the region and “many believed in the Lord.”
House of Joppa is designed to inspire you to live your faith boldly in a world in such desperate need of beauty and that by doing so, many will come to believe in our Lord!
About Our Products
