January 28, 2021 – Mallory Smyth “Rekindled How Jesus Called Me Back to the Catholic Church and Set My Heart on Fire” and LeAnn Thieman “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Hearing God’s Answers in our Lives”

Bad homilies. Scandalous public figures. Awkward teachings, hypocritically taught. Most Catholics have had to face these aspects of being in the Catholic Church, and it has left many wondering why they should stay. We interview one woman, Mallory Smyth, who has written a book devoted to explaining why she stays Catholic when confronted with the same reasons many others have had to leave. I had marked many passages that we wanted to discuss with her, but somehow didn't bring up my favorite passage from her new book, Rekindled:  "They began with the bad news: 'All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God' (Rom 3:23). Bad news? I remember thinking, this is great news. If everyone has fallen short of the glory of God, if each one of us has gone our own way, then we are all starting from the same place. This truth set me free. I could stop trying to be better than other people. In reality, I was no better than them anyway." (Rekindled p. 7)The whole book is filled with twists on what it means to be a follower of Jesus in the Catholic Church that breathe new life into teachings that many have found stale, difficult, or confusing. We greatly enjoyed our discussion with her, and only wish that we had time to talk further. We hope you enjoy both the conversation and her book!Check out a free preview of her book here: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B08G89MBR3&amp;preview=newtab&amp;linkCode=kpe&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_SVccGbXZJF3SS And order a copy of her book here: https://www.avemariapress.com/products/rekindled

037 - Contraception: connected to abortion? Digging into the research with Mallory Smyth of Endow Groups

“Humanae Vitae made me embrace the Church again”. These words spoken by our guest, Mallory Smyth of ENDOW, are both gripping and also echo the hearts of many women whose hearts have been touched by the profound words of Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae. Fifty years ago, July 25, The Church and the world received this church document and the words are just as important today: “The transmission of human life is a most serious role in which married people collaborate freely and responsibly with God the Creator. It has always been a source of great joy to them, even though it sometimes entails many difficulties and hardships. The fulfillment of this duty has always posed problems to the conscience of married people, but the recent course of human society and the concomitant changes have provoked new questions. The Church cannot ignore these questions, for they concern matters intimately connected with the life and happiness of human beings.”  These are the treasures of wisdom gifted to us from Jesus through Mother Church. Please consider supporting our Podcast Our Guest:  Mallory Smyth speaks around the country on topics such as catholic worldview, inheritance of faith and the feminine genius. Mallory fell in love with Jesus during her junior year at Louisiana State University and entered into full-time ministry after working one year as an accountant. She served as a FOCUS missionary for five years and is currently the director of program growth for ENDOW, Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women. It is her dream to see Catholics fall deeply in love with the God who loved them first, fully living the joy of the Gospel. Mallory currently lives in Denver with her husband, Jared and their two daughters, Penelope and Eliza.

Episode 47: Humanae Vitae with Mallory Smyth

Christmas is over, Lent begins in just one month, and right now we find ourselves in the season of Ordinary Time. However, this isn’t any ordinary, Ordinary Time. Traditionally in the Catholic Church, this time is known as Carnival Season. But what exactly is Carvnival Season and what does it have to do with the liturgical year? On the podcast today Lisa interviews Louisiana native, Mallory Smyth, on the Catholic roots of Carnival and how we can use it as a time to prepare for Lent.   SHOWNOTES Connect with Mallory: Twitter | Instagram Find out more about Endow Join Mallory and Lisa at the Legacy Conferences!   Quotes from this Episode “Carnival remains festive only where Ash Wednesday still exists. To eliminate Ash Wednesday is to eliminate the Carnival itself.” – Josef Pieper “Carnival is most obviously the season for parties and family get-togethers…with the avowed intention of having that good time together. Carnival is the time to be social, to give and to receive invitations for special parties. It is the time to celebrate as a parish group…” – Maria Von Trapp   Saint Quotes To Live By “To a great extent, the level of any civilization is the level of its womanhood. When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, and goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.” – Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen   Connect with us!
