Ave Explores Series | Catholic Family Life Series

Ave Explores: Catholic Family Life continues its exploration of the role of the family in the world by looking at ways every member of a family is called to be holy and grow in relationship with Christ.

Ryan McQuade, Jessica McMillan, and Chenele Shaw talk with Ave Explores host Katie Prejean McGrady about the single life: why it’s valuable and ways it can be difficult. They also discuss how the single life is fruitful to the Church and should not be written off as a passing season.

PODCASTS

Lighting a Fire Within Your Kids

Heroic and Empathetic Fatherhood

Brian Greenfield and Prejean McGrady explore the role of a father—as provider and protector, but ultimately to affirm, encourage, and love his children as God does for us. A theology teacher at an all-boys high school, Greenfield also shares what is most beneficial for young men who are growing their relationship with Christ.
