Hey Saints.
This is for the ones who feel like they’ve already messed it up. Who were told God wouldn’t want someone like them—or were never told about God at all. The ones who flinch at church words but can’t shake the feeling that there might be something real. Something good. Something worth hoping in.
It’s not soft-lit sermons or “just pray harder” answers. It’s a quiet breath of air in a world choking on noise. A place to wonder, wrestle, and still be welcome. A God who doesn’t demand performance—just presence.
The Hours & the Heart is a daily newsletter based on the Catholic Mass readings—short, sharp reflections you can read in line, in secret, or in the middle of a spiral. It’s gentle and gutsy and never assumes you’re already in the pews.
The Holy Hour is its sister podcast—longer, grittier, and for those still half-running from the idea of God. It’s the voice in your ear saying: you’re not too far gone. You’re not too broken. You’re not the exception to being loved.
This is the faith St. John Paul II dreamed of—one with saints who wear boots, work night shifts, carry trauma, and still dare to believe beauty could break in. Holiness that doesn’t look polished. Just present. Honest. Hopeful.
Because God will sit with you in the swamp. But He won’t leave you there. He’s a rescue story kind of God.
You don’t have to earn this.
You just have to come home.
LET’S BE BUDS
I’m here to prove that even the messiest, most ordinary corners of life are holy ground — through homes that heal, books that crack us open, tables crowded with laughter, and the fierce old bones of Catholicism that still hold me up. With The Hours & the Heart, The Resting Hours & the Heart, and The Holy Hour podcast, I want rebels and misfits to see how wildly good and worth loving they really are.

I don’t share anything here for show—just what’s carried me lately. Little signs of grace, a line in a book, or something ordinary that cracked the light back in.

The Holy Hour
The Holy Hour is a daily Catholic podcast for the ones who feel too far gone—spiritual misfits, addicts, skeptics, and the almost-saints still limping toward grace. Each episode breaks open the day’s Mass readings with raw honesty, theology, and a voice that doesn’t flinch at the mess. Because God doesn’t wait for you to clean up. He meets you in the wreckage—and keeps showing up.
