Episode #118- March 5, 2025: Fasting with Guest Beth Bubik

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:14:08 -0600

#118 Fasting with Guest Beth Bubik

As we begin Lent, we spoke with Beth Bubik about fasting. Jesus says to his disciples “when we fast” not “if.” Beth speaks on the spiritual and health aspects of fasting and how to incorporate it into our daily lives rather than just on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

Production note:

There was a technology issue and we lost about 10 seconds of recording. Beth had been talking about our metabolism and how things with food consumption have changed since the middle ages. Stacy recorded a short bridge between sections but everything else is intact. Thank you for your understanding.

#109 The Idol of Perfection

In this episode, Annie, Lauren, and Stacy have a discussion about the struggles we see in holding ourself and others to perfectionism and combatting that with the peace of Christ.

John 6:70 “Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?’”

Eph 2:14-17 “For he is our peace, he who made both one and broke down the dividing wall of enmity, through his flesh, abolishing the law with its commandments and legal claims, that he might create in himself one new person in place of the two, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile both with God, in one body, through the cross, putting that enmity to death by it.”

Episode #79- August 2, 2023: 3rd Anniversary Episode

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 01:30:49 -0500

In this episode Annie, Alisha, Lauren, and Stacy reflect over the last year. We talk about funny happenings, our favorite episodes, and thighs.

There is a discussion in part of this episode as to whether or not any of the apostles started a riot by not finishing their teachings when Jesus sent them out two by two. We did look it up and no there is no Biblical reference to the apostles starting a riot. There is a reference in Acts to Paul and his disciples starting a riot but as far as the apostles doing that, it was just what was depicted on The Chosen.

Becoming Catholic shaped her food passion, forging a pathway to God through her food-faith volunteer work at her former parish, Saint Veronica Catholic Church in Chantilly, Virginia. There she started cooking classes honoring the saints and began an organic garden to feed the hungry.

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 02:49:28 -0500

In this episode Lauren, Annie, and Stacy talk with Nell O'Leary. Nell is the Managing Editor of Blessed Is She. During this episode we talk about the power of sharing our stories and finding our true identities in Christ.

Episode #48- May 23, 2022: Planes, High Speed Cars, & Working Moms- A Conversation with Noelle

Tue, 24 May 2022 14:55:10 -0500

In this episode Noelle returns to talk with about what she has been up to. For those who have been listening to Coffee & Catholics since we started, or if you have gone back and listened to older episodes, you will remember 5 of us hosting the show. Noelle has not been able to record with us over the last year but she never really left either. We thought you might be wondering what happened to her. We talk about everything from Noelle's ministry and role as a working Mom to Contemporary Christian Music to high speed car rides. Come listen to what Noelle has been up to.

Possible trigger warnings: In this episode Noelle also mentions or discusses topics such as self-harm, suicide, and miscarriage.

Episode #47- May 9, 2022: Marian Prayer Time

Mon, 09 May 2022 02:20:51 -0500

To honor Mary in May, we decided to create an episode that you can revisit when you are wanting some guided prayer time.

In this episode, Annie, Alisha, and Stacy pray The Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary and The Litany of Loreto. The reflections that we use in this episode are a mixture of reflections from the following two sites:

The information that we share about the Litany of Loreto and the prayer itself can be found on this site:

Episode #46- April 25, 2022: Creating Space: A Two Part Episode - Part 2

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 00:01:00 -0500

In this and the next episode, Alisha, Annie, Lauren, and Stacy discuss what it means to "create space". We explore space as a physical area, as time, as action, as openness, as relationship, and as reaction. This resulting two part episode was not the episode we were expecting when we started our discussion but it turned out so much better.
