  • Keaton Andersen: on church shifts and spiritual threads
    Jul 16 2025

    Keaton was raised Catholic but found himself drawn into a different kind of church community as a young adult, a non denominational church in Colorado that felt like home

    In this episode of Catholics in Ordinary Time he talks with Fr Jack about growing up in the faith what pulled him away and what keeps him connected to something deeper even as the path looks different

    It’s a conversation about tradition and transformation
    About questions and belonging
    And about the grace of being honest with where you are

    I hope you like this conversation. I certainly did

    Jul 9 2025

    Maggie Miller grew up in Brooklyn and now lives in France where she’s studying art history and navigating life far from everything familiar.

    And choosing to stay curious

  • Jake McEwan: on leaving, returning, and learning how to stay
    Jul 2 2025

    Jake McEwan is a couples and family therapist who recently moved back to his hometown of Spokane. In this episode of Catholics in Ordinary Time, he talks with Fr. Jack about his journey away from the Church, what brought him back, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up.

    There’s laughter
    There’s honesty
    There’s a little bit of “happy-go-lucky Catholic gets stolen by the devil” energy

    It’s real life, and Jake tells it well

    I hope you like this conversation.
