This week on Trailer Parked Theology, we're wrapping up our study of 1 John 4 by talking about one of the hardest truths to grasp: God loved us first. His love isn't a reward for good behavior, perfect prayers, or getting our lives together—it's where the Christian life begins.

This week on Trailer Parked Theology, Josh and Kristi share a takeaway from a recent marriage retreat that challenged one of the most common images used to explain Christian marriage: the triangle. They explore how sacramental marriage is about far more than two individuals independently pursuing God.
Together they unpack a richer vision of marriage as a living icon of Christ's love for the Church, where spouses become instruments of God's grace for one another and for the world.
The conversation then shifts into 1 John 2:7-11, where John speaks of an "old" commandment that is somehow also "new." Josh and Kristi explore how Jesus fulfilled the commandment of love, transforming it from instruction into lived demonstration through His life, death, and resurrection.
Episode Highlights
- The popular "marriage triangle" analogy
- Sacramental marriage as an icon of Christ and His Church
- How spouses help lead one another to heaven
- The difference between the "old" and "new" commandment in 1 John

Continuing their dive into First Epistle of John Chapter 2, they unpack themes like obedience, grace, sin, the Holy Spirit, and what it really means to live like Jesus. Along the way, they discuss Jesus as our Advocate and how faith is meant to be lived — not just studied.

Scripture Discussed
First Epistle of John 2:1–6
My children, I am writing this to you so that you may not commit sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
He is expiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but for those of the whole world.
The way we may be sure that we know him is to keep his commandments.
Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him. This is the way we may know that we are in union with him:
Whoever claims to abide in him ought to live [just] as he lived.

In this episode of Trailer Park Theology, the Josh and Kristi reflect on returning to a rhythm after being away from the mics and how God uses light to bring clarity, healing, and deeper communion. As they step into the 2026 theme Let There Be Light, they explore what it means to co-create with God by blending Scripture, real-life conversation, and lived faith.
Kristi and Josh break open the scriptures this week beginning with Genesis 2:18, “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him.” This conversation centers on God’s design for relationship—how solitude reveals our capacity for love and how unity does not erase individuality but strengthens it.
This episode explores:
- Why slowing down creates space for spiritual clarity and “aha” moments
- How Scripture and conversation together reveal God’s presence in everyday life
- The difference between exterior companionship and interior loneliness
- Why marriage, friendship, and Bible study cannot replace the place meant for God
- How unity in the Body of Christ reflects two bulbs, one light
This episode reminds listeners that light often begins small—a spark, a pinhole of hope—but when we seek God through His Word and through authentic community, that light grows, illuminates, and draws us into deeper communion with Him and one another.

In this episode, Denise Champagne shares her journey of faith, loss, and transformation through the rise and closing of Coffeeweed Cottage. What began as a “God vision” became a living testimony of how light continues to shine through obedience, community, and adversity—even when the outcome looks different than expected.
Using Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path,” this conversation centers on trusting God step by step rather than needing the full plan.
This episode explores:
- How God often reveals only the next step, not the whole roadmap
- Why obedience can lead to transformation, even when dreams “fail”
- How community is formed by sitting with one another in suffering, not fixing it
- What it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus through hospitality and presence

Denise reminds us that the light doesn’t live in buildings or titles—it lives in changed hearts, shared stories, and everyday faithfulness.

In Week Six, the final episode of our Advent–Epiphany series, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany and reflect on Saint Joseph as the first adorer of Christ.
Using Matthew 2:1–12, we explore the visit of the Magi—not with all the answers, but with curiosity, imagination, and wonder. Did they know who they were looking for? Did they bring the “right” gifts on purpose? And what does that mean for how we show up before Jesus today?
This conversation moves gently into:
- Why presence is often the greatest gift we can offer God
- How Adoration doesn’t require expertise—just honesty
- What to do when prayer feels boring, intimidating, or out of reach
- The role of poverty, humility, boundaries, and community in the spiritual life
- Why God uses our natural gifts, personalities, and even our emptiness
We also share practical encouragement for anyone new to adoration or feeling stuck in their faith: start small, stay curious, and let God meet you where you are.

In Week Five of our Advent to Epiphany series, we focus on Saint Joseph, Head of the Holy Family, and the reality of responding to God when life feels anything but calm. Using the story of the Flight into Egypt, this episode explores what it looks like to hear God’s voice in the middle of fear, disruption, and uncertainty—and still move forward.
We talk honestly about the tension between wanting peace and feeling overwhelmed, the discomfort of prayer, and the challenge of trusting God when we don’t feel ready or capable. Saint Joseph doesn’t say much in Scripture, but his actions show us how to lead, protect, and surrender—one faithful step at a time.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, unsure of the next move, or stretched beyond your comfort zone, this conversation is for you.
Scripture Focus
Matthew 2:13–15, 19–23
Highlights
- Responding to God instead of the noise around us
- Why discomfort might be a sign we’re actually listening
- Trusting God with what He’s placed in front of us—family, faith, and daily responsibilities

As Advent draws to a close, Saint Joseph invites us to make room—not just in our homes, but in our hearts.
In Week Four of A Quiet Light, we reflect on Saint Joseph, Most Obedient, and pray with Matthew 1:18–24. This Gospel reminds us that obedience isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting God enough to take the next step. Joseph heard the call, woke up, and did what the Lord asked. No hesitation. Just love in motion.
The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Trust.
The kind that chooses surrender over control, even when the path ahead feels uncertain.
Our invitation this week is simple: notice where God may be knocking. Where might He be asking you to make room for Him—again or for the first time? Ask for the grace to say yes, even if it feels uncomfortable or unfinished.

Advent has a way of bringing the quiet and the uncomfortable to the surface, and Saint Joseph meets us there with steady strength.
In Week Three of A Quiet Light, we reflect on Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, and pray with Zephaniah 3:11–12—a lesser-known passage that reminds us God draws near to the humble and the lowly. Joseph shows us that real strength isn’t loud or forceful. The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Courage. The kind that steps into the dark places trusting God is already there.
Our invitation this week is simple: bring what’s hidden into the light. Take a few quiet moments to examine your heart, and if you’re able, consider reconciliation as a way to make room for peace and joy.

Advent is a good time to slow down a little, and St. Joseph the Workman shows us what it looks like to stay steady and trust God in the middle of everyday life.
In Week Two of A Quiet Light, we focus on St. Joseph the Workman and pray with Matthew 11:28–30—Jesus’ reminder that we don’t have to carry everything alone. Joseph lived this in a very real way. The word we’re sitting with this week? ✨ Rest. The kind of rest that comes from putting things back in God’s hands.
Our invitation this week is simple: let your daily work become a place to talk to God. Whether you’re doing chores, driving, or checking things off your list, bring Him into it. Let Him lighten the load.

Welcome to Week One of A Quiet Light, our Advent journey with Saint Joseph from Advent to Epiphany. If you missed the introduction episode, go back and give it a listen — it sets the tone for everything we’re walking through together.
This week, we’re sitting with the title Saint Joseph, Most Faithful and praying with Psalm 122:1–9, the psalm Joseph himself would've prayed and carried in his heart. The word that stands out this week? Peace.
Peace in a season that often feels anything but peaceful.
In the episode, we talk about:
• How Saint Joseph lived a simple, steady rhythm of prayer — not to check a box, but to stay rooted in God all day long.
• How his quiet faithfulness invites us into deeper spiritual discipline, not perfection.
• The power of posture and praying with our whole body — kneeling, lighting a candle, creating sacred space.
• How the artwork for this week reflects Joseph’s urgency to pray and his readiness to respond to God.
• What it means to become “expectant” with hope — not just for Mary, but for Joseph as a father preparing his heart for Jesus.
Your challenge for Week One:
Choose one small resolution that brings more light and intention into your prayer this week.
Maybe it’s five extra minutes using Lectio Divina with Scripture, kneeling beside your bed, or praying with a candle lit — one quiet step toward faithfulness.
Tune in, pray with us, and let this Advent begin gently, quietly, faithfully.
Let's Go Be the Light.

It's one week until Advent, we’re kicking off this journey with Saint Joseph — the quiet and steady light we didn’t know we were aching for. After a year of leaning on our spiritual mamas, the Lord kept tugging our hearts in 2025 toward this good and holy father.
We’re sharing how Saint Joseph has been showing up for us, why his strength and tenderness matter right now, and how walking with his titles for six weeks — all the way through Christmas and into Epiphany — can help you slow down, breathe, and pray a little deeper this season. We hope you will join us!

This week, Josh and Kristi are talking seasons: church seasons, life seasons, and all the in-between ones.
Josh talks about what it’s like prepping for a big talk (and stressing yourself out for no good reason), how Advent is way deeper than we usually treat it, and why God’s way more interested in your heart than your perfect notes. And yes… a Delilah impression may or may not have made its way in. 😂

She felt called to be a bridge—helping others live united and undistracted. Though she has since gone home to the Lord, Yvonne’s courage still inspires us. Cancer never defined her...faith did. ✨

Flashback Episode (Originally aired April 2023)
This episode is shared in loving memory of Kalix James Broussard. ✝️
We chose to bring this one back because there’s just something about it — more goosies, more grace, and more of that unmistakable movement of the Holy Spirit that we all need to hear again.
When Paul Whittington and Bubba Broussard joined us in Holy Spirit Studios, we found ourselves swept up in a conversation full of love, loss, truth, and the kind of heart conversion that only God can orchestrate.
It’s a story of friendship, faith, and the healing that comes when we hand our hearts completely to Him.
So join us as we revisit this powerful reminder that even through unimaginable pain, God’s mercy and love never stop writing the story.

In this episode, we’re talking about holy beginnings...how God invites us to grow quietly beneath the surface, especially in seasons that look like loss. Inspired by fall’s changing beauty, we reflect on what it means to let go, trust the hidden work of God, and embrace transformation with humility.
We explore how the Holy Spirit meets us in the small, unseen moments...like rocking-chair mornings, backyard prayers, and even volleyball talks with our kids.
We also get real about parenting through shifting seasons (hello, teenage independence), pride disguised as productivity, and learning to “waste time with God.”
Our hope is that this conversation will help you pause, notice the sacred in your everyday, and chase new beginnings.
They will be like a tree planted by the water; its leaves are always green.” Jeremiah 17:8

Holy Spirit Studios Presents: Trailer Parked Theology
We’re taking theology and parking it right in our own backyard. This 4-part series with Josh & Kristi Fredieu dives into the stories of grace meeting the mess.
In this episode, we share how we each found relationship with God—not in the picture-perfect moments, but in the middle of our brokenness. Josh opens up about his journey to sobriety, and together we talk about surrender and contentment—the doorway to true freedom.
Surrender isn’t a one-time thing. It’s a daily choice. One moment at a time.
Verse of the Week: Phil 4: 10-13 I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me; you were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I complain of want; for I have learned, in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and want. I can do all things in him who strengthens me.

And who shall stand in his holy place? Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully. They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their salvation. Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.

"‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love."'

📖 Luke 13: 6-9
"Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?’ He replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”

📖 Matthew 6: 25, 28, 33-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. “So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows."

Mike "The Beef" Keefe is joins us this week, and our entire day with him was an absolute love fest!

✨Gospel of the Week✨
📖 Luke 1: 26-38
"The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
"Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end." But Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?" And the angel said to her in reply, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God." Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.

📖 John 1: 6-8, 19-28
"A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. And this is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.” So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?” He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord,’” as Isaiah the prophet said.” Some Pharisees were also sent. They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”
John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

📖 Mark 1: 1-8
"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way. A voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” John the Baptist appeared in the desert proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. People of the whole Judean countryside and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins. John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He fed on locusts and wild honey.
And this is what he proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Super Duper Man, Wesley Stonicher joins us this week in Holy Spirit studios, and his energy is unmatched. We enjoyed every moment we had getting to know this guy and his authentic love for life, for friendship, and for our Lord.
✨Reflection of the Week✨
"In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work.
Christ, who said to the disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends, "Ye have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another." The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others."
-C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Fr. Brice Higginbotham is back in Holy Spirit Studios with us, and this week's episode can be summed up beautifully from an excerpt from Father's new book (page 21-22):
" We, too, in witnessing to others, must proclaim the newness of relationship with Jesus Christ. But if we are going to be effective, we must show how Christ is the fulfillment of our friends' longing. Pope John Paul II pointed this out not so long ago:
'It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.'
Because he loves the other person, the disciple begins where the other is and tries, by God's grace, to walk with her on the path to belief in Jesus. This is how disciples share Jesus with others."

The Opdenhoffs are back, y'all! We absolutely LOVE these two. Join us for a delightful conversation about the importance of utilizing our own personal God-given gifts, the beauty of the sacraments and witnessing children receive the sacraments, and the struggles perfectionism. We not only swap parenting stories, but also share ALL the battles of worldly distractions we face every day.
Did you know the word 'discipline' comes from the word "disciple'? A truly sacred space is the air between one's lips to another's ears. Our words have weight, and we are responsible for protecting one another's hearts. (which is a core value in the Opdenhoff household)
Big shoutout to Logan who rocked the Sacred Heart Confirmation Retreat when he said (paraphrasing) 'We spend so much time scrolling on Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, but Jesus has been trending for over 2,000 years. So why are we spending all of our time on things that have only been trending for a year or two." MIC DROP MOMENT BAYBAYY!!

A very beloved priest of 72 years and THE greatest storyteller joins us this week, Fr. Floyd Calais!
Fr. Calais dazzles us with ALL the memories and ALL the laughter as we reminisce on the influence of his parents in his life, his entering the seminary at the age of 15, and the burning desire to be appointed pastor of his own parish. Fr. Calais began asking for intercession from Our Little Cajun Saint, Charlene Richard, and two weeks later he was assigned to Richard, LA. He credits her to helping him build two churches in the diocese of Lafayette, and he continues to rely on her intercession today to make big things happen.
What an absolute dream come true to interview the man who baptized Kayla and celebrated the sacraments of her first reconciliation and communion. HUGE shoutout to Kent Zerangue for setting this up, and for being there to experience this moment with us. Join us for ALL of the joy that is Fr. Calais!

It's early in the morning ya'll, and the content is equally goofy as it is enlightening! Paige reminded us of the importance in following the call of the Holy Spirit as she explains it was a nudge to attend Mass that sparked her desire for more. She would go on to complete RCIA and later write a book about finding our identity in Christ!

📖Verse of the Week:
John 15: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me."

The most beautiful couple joins us this week, y'all! James and Kristyn Opdenhoff are in the studio, and The Holy Spirit knew they needed to be here. After an intense weekend of healing, the four of us digest the moving moments of the retreat and recall the crazy ways the Holy Spirit ministered to each of our hearts.
The Opdenhoffs, who's last name literally means "At the Garden" , modeled what it was like to be Adam and Eve when they were removed from the loving embrace of God due to sin. If you are human like us and and have experienced the wounds of abandonment, fear, powerlessness, hopelessness, confusion, rejection, and shame gripping on to you, y'all join us and dive in! There is hope and restoration on the other side!
And don't worry, Kristyn and James will be back soon! We've only scratched the surface.

Y'all! We got to virtually hang with a very cool country boy from Arkansas, Fr. Stephen Gadberry, or as we will now lovingly refer to him, Fr. Flex. If an American Gladiator and M'Lynn from Steel Magnolias had a baby, it'd be this guy!
What a journey he takes us on! From being raised on a farm in the Arkansas Delta to being the first priest to compete on American Ninja Warrior, we got all the stories to share.
No stranger to brotherhood, Fr. Stephen enlisted in the Air Force where he would eventually feel called to the priesthood while on tour in Germany.
Fr. Stephen is a lover of beautiful things, cheap beer, hunting, and fitness. His joy is found in the GRIND of life, recommitting himself to his calling every.single.day. You will leave this back porch chat feeling inspired to embrace the gifts God gave you.

We welcome one of the coolest and most calming voices to sit in Holy Spirit Studios, Mr. John Ray Perkins III ya'll. He takes us through the pivotal moments from altar serving and youth ministry to his newest journey into real estate and as The Director of Adult Formation at St. Pius X in Lafayette.
John Ray's faith was formed at an early age when his parents both went through a conversion. Looking back, he considered himself to be a "culture Catholic", until an encounter at a Stubenville Conference deepened his faith. He left us totally inspired and intrigued about the Charismatic movement of the Catholic Church and it's importance in our faith community.
John Ray creates a sacred space for us all to share about recent encounters we’ve had with the Lord, God’s immense mercy, and the rewards of pure blind faith.

What an absolute treat to be joined by a fellow nerd and all around wonderful holy human. We welcome Fr. Travis Abadie to the podcast this week and Alert...Alert...we get geeky about all kinds of good stuff.
Listening to his story, it was obvious to us that Fr. Abadie was destined to become a priest. Making the executive decision to get baptized as a child and then regularly attending mass as soon as he got his driver's license, His loyalty to God is even thicker than his loyalty to Costco.
He keeps us laughing and learning throughout the whole episode. You can't help but fall more in love with the Lord listening to this guy. Tune in!

Deacon Big Mike Vidrine is in the house this week, and we loved every minute of getting to know this holy human!
A native of Palmetto, the strong foundation of his faith was laid at a very early age. Deacon Michael recounts the memories of praying the rosary nightly with his family and the vital importance his parents put on personal prayer with the Lord. He brings these lessons into his ministry as a Deacon referencing that just as food and water are necessary for survival, relationship with God, going to Mass, and receiving the sacraments are necessary for the survival of our souls.
“Both sin and grace are communal realities. No sin affects only the perpetrator and no act of grace merits only the person who does it. We live in a body. That’s what the mystical body of Christ is.” —Deacon Michael Vidrine
📖Verse of the Week:
John 19:28

Ya'll can you believe it! We got to sit down with Dr. Bob Schuchts to discuss his upcoming retreat at Sacred Heart of Jesus in Broussard, Healing the Whole Person. Bob Schuchts is the bestselling author of Be Healed, Be Transformed, Be Devoted, and Be Restored...and we guarantee you will BE HAPPY you tuned in for this one.
Dr. Bob discusses what it was like growing up in a traditional Catholic family, who was shattered by his father’s alcoholism, infidelity, and eventually his parents' divorce. Although his faith became disconnected, he continued to long for truth. Several years into his marriage, his childhood wounds began to trigger fear and anxiety of his own family's demise. Dr. Bob set off on an individual quest into his own healing and opened his heart.
Ephesians 3: 14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, 17 and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

David Wooton, a native of Lafayette and author of Meeting Homeless Jesus: A Journey From Believing to Knowing, shares a piece of his story with us! Struggles with addiction brought him to collapse saying “I need help”. Laying in the hospital, David sees a billboard that changes his direction. As David says, “If we don’t let Him in willingly, we have to be so empty that He's got room to come in anyway.”
In 2018, David's spiritual journey changed from believing to knowing when he found Jesus in a divinely inspired encounter with a man named Larry. You don't want to miss this inspiring story of redemption, grace, and love.

📖 Verse of the week: Romans 8:35,
"What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."

In this episode of Can I Getta Amen, we journey with the beautiful Sarah Baquet into the discovery and deepening of her faith. Growing up Catholic, she felt a call from an early age to be a missionary and serve the poor. Sarah tells us about the many different holy "influencers" on her faith and how these courageous people inspired her to pursue what God put on her heart. What blew us away even more is the depth of Sarah's knowledge on theology, Catholic social doctrine, and the beauty of love.
You will want to tune into this one if you wrestle with justice, suffering, and just need some inspiration for this journey we call faith. We can't wait for her to come back later this month to talk to us more about her personal story and the wonderful work of Catholic Charities of Acadiana where she is Community Engagement Coordinator.

It’s been about a year since we have had Diana Vallett on the mic, and we are so grateful she is back. It would be easy to say that the theme of this episode is shifting, as it is a word you will hear all throughout. Diana herself speaks of the “shifts” she has experienced in the past year: shifting from mourning to healing, from a steady online presence to taking a back seat, from holding on too tight to learning to let go, from being distracted to being more attentive to the souls around her. And she speaks of what these shifts require…death. Because, as we have just witnessed during the Triduum…from death comes beautiful life! We hope after hearing this episode, you can allow Easter to transform you too!
📖 2 Corinthians 12: 8-10
Three times I begged the Lord to have it leave me, but he answered me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.”Hence, I will boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell within me. For this reason, I rejoice when I endure weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and distress for the sake of Christ. For it is when I am weak that I am strong.

"Do we live our lives or do our sins live our lives?" (Father Korey LaVergne)
Alleluia! Christ is risen! We are back with our regular episodes, and there is no better way to start off than with Father Korey LaVergne, with a capital V. This wonderful spiritual father is UNAFRAID to speak the truth about our brokenness and our need for God's restoring mercy and love. (We believe it has something to do with the radioactive pop tart he ate as a child.) Regardless, it was a gift to hear about healing from one who is truly allowing the Lord to heal his own heart.

Ignoring, rejecting, or showing indifference to the Blessed Virgin Mary is the 10th way the devil oppresses us. Satan fears Mary. He knew she had power when Christ was dying for our sins on the Cross and He said to all Christians represented in John the Beloved Disciple standing at the foot of the Cross "Behold your Mother." If you take her as your mother she will bind you to Our Father in loving obedience to His will.
📖John 19:25-27 : Standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home

Journey with us this Lent with the our scripture focused devotionals!
Why be obedient? The act of obedience builds up the power to obey within us. It's a safeguard in the time of temptation. Being obedient to even traffic laws has spiritual benefits. If you break a law you will upset the good habit of being obedient so that when the temptation comes-and it always comes-you will have less strength to follow the Holy Spirit in the face of a more difficult temptation.
📖 Titus 3:1 "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good."

Journey with us this Lent with the our scripture focused devotionals!
Heaven is seeing God. The eyes are the window to the soul, and there are images that lead us into impurity and defile our temples causing harm to our spiritual trust in the Lord. In taking in all the flesh we lose sight of the spiritual good of the soul.
Stay focused on the daily spiritual grind. Plow forward! Keep reading the Word of God.
📖Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God."

"The first thing to go will be your daily examination of conscience." - Father Frey
Join us for another mini episode with Fr. Nick DuPré on The 10 Ways the Devil Oppresses Us. This week we dive into part 3: Procrastination.
The devil will coax us into believing we have more time than we really have, and he gets us to put off our spiritual practices of piety that must be done each and every day that God has given us to live for His glory.
📖1 Thess 5:1-8 "Now concerning the times and the season, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, 'There is peace and security,' then sudden destruction will come upon them like labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet that is hope for salvation."

We are back with our Lenten Mini Series— 10 Ways the Devil Oppresses Us.
Part 2: The devil will LIE and lead us to think we don't need the Church's sacraments or grace. We cannot live a life worthy of going to heaven by our own strength. The devil will lure us in the sneakiest of ways to keep us from God’s grace.
📖John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.”
📖Titus: 3:5 "He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
📖John 6:44 "No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day."

Join us this Lenten Season for a mini series with Fr. Nick DuPré on the 10 Ways the Devil Oppresses Us.
Part 1: The devil makes us feel desolate and unloved by instilling FEAR.
What kind of fear? Fear that we have to be noticed by others either in real life or on social media to be important. Fear that we have to be physically beautiful to be loved. Fear that we have to accomplish great things or be publicly awarded to be considered valuable. Fear that we will be excluded or teased if we do not share a popular opinion or attitude.
📖John 8: 44 "He is a liar and a murderer from the beginning." 📖John 14:30 Jesus calls the devil "The Prince of this World."
📖1 Peter 5:8 St. Peter compares the devil to an animal, a ferocious and vicious animal. "He is like a roaring lion on the prowl seeking whom he can devour."

Tara says the following about her great-grandmother, but we think of her when we here it: "When I think of still, quiet, and being-with, I think of her." We know you will love her like we do!

Verse of the Episode: Romans 5: 1
At Peace with God
Hope Does Not Disappoint. 1 Therefore, now that we have been justified by faith, we are at peace[b] with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom by faith we have been given access to this grace in which we now live, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we realize that suffering develops perseverance, 4 and perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. 5 Such hope will not be doomed to disappointment,[c] because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

They requested some air time so they could talk about what we can do to save endangered animals and just help the planet.

We are proud of their efforts, and the sheer cuteness of this episode will have you also saying, "AMEN! AND SAVE THE PANDAS!"

Sometimes we thank God for unanswered prayers, and sometimes we thank Him for people like Missy Polozola. From her first prayer to the Holy Spirit before the mics were even on, we knew this would be a good-for-the-soul conversation.

We didn’t know how much we needed the calm, nurturing spirit of Ms. Reba Broussard until she showed up in the studio (accompanied by her sweet friend Ms. Linda.)
We are so grateful to hear Ms. Reba’s faith journey…from a child who was hit by a school bus all the way through the loss of her first husband at the age of 38. She shares with us the friendship she found in Jesus. As a teacher for over 30 years, Ms. Reba was able to use her own experiences to meet her students where they are and to challenge them forward in their faith walk.

From the small town of Maurice, all the way to Mexico and Africa, Megi takes us on her journey from conflicted about real love to the deep encounter Christ that still brings her to tears. From the moment she witnessed the joy and compassion of missionaries, she wanted more of these fruits for herself.

In Episode 79 Yvonne Bienvenu joins us for one of the most authentic conversations yet. A self-proclaimed walking conundrum, Yvonne’s Christian faith has sustained her as she continues to explore new avenues of healing from cancer.
As she says, so many things in life seem to conflict. The struggle for her comes from the beauty God has made from her journey, but also desiring the earthly miracle so her kids can have their momma. Yvonne feels a call to be a bridge that encourages others to live united and undistracted. Cancer does not define this woman!

Kelly Breaux, co founder of Red Bird Ministries joins us for episode 77!
Kelly and her husband Ryan were given a cross that no parent should have to carry . . . watching two of their children die before their very eyes. For years, Kelly battled numbness, despair, and anger, repeatedly asking God “why?”
Through God’s grace and the Sacraments, Kelly and Ryan were able to heal and restore their marriage. Red Bird Ministries was born out of the hope to reach other men and women who have experienced loss of a child. Miscarriage is one of those losses where parents usually suffer silently.
Check out Kelly’s book, Hiding in the Upper Room, and all of her grief support materials.

Megan followed God's call to begin a feeding program and transform a barren hillside into a refuge and a school for 500 children. Today, Megan and her staff of nearly 200 are transforming this community as they educate, feed, and address the needs of those around them.
Megan and her husband, Josh, have adopted three children and welcomed two biological children in 2018 and 2020.

This girl's passion is contagious. We welcome Mehgan Fontenot into the studio to talk about her faith journey. Finding Jesus in college, Mehagan was set on an adventure. She met people of all different backgrounds which helped her to journey into the excitement that drew her further into her faith.

Enjoying the adventure of life and faith, she was unexpectantly recruited to work with Hard As Nail Ministries in New York where she really grew to understand the love of God. She was drawn into the reality, rawness and diversity of this ministry that still exists in her heart today.

When I think of Georgia I think of this quote by Patanjali,
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations; your conscious expands in every direction; and you find yourself in a great, new and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
Georgia is a loving wife, dedicated mother of 5, and owner & founder of The Summit System. Join us for this beautiful story as she bears her soul and speaks her truths, all the while praising God for all of His undeniable grace and peace.

Matthew 5: 14-16 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people who light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
I can't think of a more fitting verse to describe this woman than the verse she chose as a base to begin The Light Project.

We invited our good friend and mentor, Monica Rougeau, back to the pod for Episode 28. Her ability to be the calm in the storm is one of her greatest gifts. Monica shares with us a personal story of her son's ATV accident right as Corona virus hit our country and how this incident has reminded her of her lack of control.
When asked how she is surviving these days during quarantine, Monica said, " I am taking each day as it comes. Trying to stay in a routine of getting up early, exercising and having specific objectives to complete each day. My "Gold" temperament in me needs to start each day with an updated list however, I'm giving myself permission not to beat myself up if I don't get everything done that day. Being more intentional in focusing on my children and husband and putting work aside more more appropriately...which leads to many days not getting everything on my list checked off however, much more fulfilled in the relationships that matter most."

Of course we also talk about the time we are living in during this COVID Pandemic and how we might currently be in wrestling match with God not knowing how this will all turn out and when it will end.

Thanks for tuning in guys! We love you all.

An angel walking the Earth! We are beyond excited to bring you another one of our favorite people. As a Christian counselor, Kristy Suire helps others who feel stuck and overwhelmed to understand and manage life challenges. She joins us on Episode 23 to discuss how she found her career in counseling, her family's adoption story, and we touch the topics of codependency, boundaries and the grief train.
And of course, we also talk about our favorite topic, temperaments! The basis of Kristy's counseling is temperament therapy, a tool used solely for the purpose of helping others better understand themselves. When our needs are not being met, it can cause stress and anxiety. Other possible symptoms include: depression, dissatisfaction, loneliness, fear, frustration, anger, marriage and family problems, poor work performance, exhaustion and inter/intra personal conflicts.
You will love her and every single minute of this episode! Thanks for being here with us today! And don't forget to share is with those you love.

Why is confession a good thing? Do our prayers count? What is this thing called grace? On episode 22, we discuss all the spiritual things with Fr.

He’s finally here sitting down with us in the flesh and we are so pumped about it! You will certainly love this little spiritual journey we take you on.

We are sitting down with our sweet friend, Mary-Ellen Charpentier today and she's here to spread some truth! In addition to being a mom, she is a full time nurse who's just trying to keep her head above water on any given day. Mary-Ellen recently started a blog, The Bottom Lines, which discuses topics like motherhood, life's struggles, and faith. She has three kids with whom she credits for teaching her all the important things of life, like how to be in 5 places at once, how to remove colored marker from walls, how to pretend like everything is fine, and how to get ready in 3 minutes!
On Episode 21, we discuss how to use life's challenges for the good of others. We believe that vulnerability is the key that unlocks the door to freedom. We spend too much time trying to live in versions of ourselves that weren't meant for us.
You will definitely love this honest, yet super funny episode! Thanks for tuning in:)
The beautifully brave Stacey Judice joins us on Episode 20!

Her story has inspired us to 'be happy with crumbs', to 'have joy through the pain', to 'focus on the faith not the fate', to 'be better not bitter', and to have 'class and grace not sass and mace'. You won't want to miss this!

Christmas is like a box of chocolate, you never know how this time of year will make you feel! Most of us feel joy, happiness, excitement, and anticipation for all things Christmas. But what happens when a feeling of sadness enters into your spirit? When the bitter sweet feelings of joy are matched by the grief of another year gone by...the realization nothing will be the same next year...It's amazing how one thought can send us into a tailspin of all the emotions. That is the cost of love...Love of our life as it is, love for our families and the love of Christmas time. Many of us love it so much, we don't want to see any of it end.
Join us as we discuss these things and Kaya's newest read, "The Obstacle is the Way" by Ryan Holiday.
Thanks for tuning in!
The Christmas season is one that we look forward to in anticipation of all the gift giving, time with loved ones and all the traditions that help us to celebrate the true reason for the season. What happens when we let the chaos and the stress of the season overshadow the joy we are meant to feel? In episode 12, we talk about the black hole of Black Friday and other stressors that fight to steal our joy this Christmas. We can keep our peace by allowing the madness to call us into simple living through our mind, body and spirit so that we can shed the weight that we carry around, especially during the holiday season.

Broadcasting live from Kristi's closet, we discuss having an attitude of gratitude in preparation of Thanksgiving this week. There is no tornado coming, we just wanted to change it up and supposedly the acoustics are better in a closet :) We share our Top 3 gratitude list and challenge all of you to share yours with a friend this Thanksgiving season! Get ready cause we jam out to Little Drummer Boy by Pentatonix for a good minute during our chat.
Here is the quote that inspired our episode!
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." Melody Beattie
"The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is." In Episode 10, we dive into all the gems from Jim Carrey's commencement speach at MUM in 2014. We pull all of the wonderful nuggets from finding our authentic selves and battling the enemy that is our own ego. We can find success in this life and be on the mountaintop, but still feel as though we are in the valley...Because until we find our essence and are brave enough to show people who we truly are, we are never really free to live.
Get your Polynesian sauce or ketchup ready, cause this episode is full of ALL the nuggets!

We're Back!!!! Thanks for the patience while we were living in the hustle of life...Welcome to episode nine, "we lookin fine", cause we didn't know what to call this one. It really has nothing to do with how we look on the outside, but more about what is going on with our insides...and even a look inside our crazy worlds right now. We discuss the collateral damage that breeds in chaos, causing us to doubt ourselves,, lose our peace, stop practicing love and forget our ability to set healthy boundaries for ourselves. The only remedy for living in chaos is found in deliberate attempts to press pause and reflect in our day about what is going right and what we currently have to be grateful for. This episode is where we let loose on our struggles for the past couple of weeks as we try to find that balance in our lives of work, family, friends and God. Thanks for tuning in!.

In Episode 8 of Can I Getta Amen, we discuss the choice we have to press the pause button and respond instead of react when we find ourselves in conflict or miscommunication. Because of the holiday season coming upon us, we felt it was the perfect time to review and remind ourselves of the leadership lessons we've learned over the last couple of years. It's often the simplest tools that make the biggest impact in our everyday lives and this episode is full of our favorites. We discuss CLASS-Y communication as well as the Cycle of Transformation.

Our life takes many twists and turns. It's not until we look back on our own journey that we get a glimpse of the story God is writing with our lives. In this episode of Can I Getta Amen, we talk with our friend and mentor, Monica Rougeau of Elevare. Elevare is a transformative leadership development company that helps professionals tap into their highest potential. To put it plainly, Monica has a way of helping others see their value before they see it for themselves. She attributes this to her own journey to authenticity and discovering her purpose through many of life's trials and lessons working in corporate healthcare.
You won't want to miss this discussion.
In episode 6 of Can I Getta Amen, we discuss the importance of community and how important it is to follow through on those little nudges we get...Whether it's to reach out to someone, to lend a hand when someone is sick, to pray when we see another person struggling...or whatever the case may be... all of these seemingly small actions are really big things in the making. When we authentically show up by saying yes to that call on our heart, others gets the best of us AND the benefits of the unique gifts that only we can offer. So stay tuned for all that and a little bit more. We sure do want to thank YOU for being here with us!

Grab your pen and notepad because we drop lots of favorite quotes in this episode...We discuss whether or not others can truly hurt us with their words and actions or is it in our hands how we truly feel about it. The important thing is that we remember that we can only control ourselves, not other people, places and things. We see this most lived out in the 12 step recovery program of AA so we discuss that along with the Serenity Prayer. We also spend some time chatting about the struggle of surrender....it's hard, right...and the importance of being friends with different people and perspectives. This episode is filled with lots of goodness for your soul. Thanks always for tuning in and showing us all the love!

Do you ever listen to a song and remember exactly what life was like when you first heard it? In a fun and light-hearted Episode 4, we chat about music and the moments we are taken back to. We dive into some of the amazing and hilarious feedback we've received over the past 2 weeks. We take some time to laugh at ourselves and remember how important it is that we not take ourselves too seriously. This episode is all about "weekend vibes" in the truest sense of the words. We hope you get to kick back with us and enjoy!
Check out Lauren Daigle's “True freedom is giving people the permission to misunderstand you...” video on Instagram.
In episode 3, we examine and discuss our true colors and how our individual personalities/temperaments can sometimes force us to set unrealistic expectations for ourselves and others. These unrealistic expectations can cause that nightmare "too much and not enough" battle within ourselves. We also discuss the importance of shedding our armor during those high stress times in order to find true peace in those moments. Enjoy!

Have you ever felt that tug on your heart? The one that calls you to do something big...Something that would force you out of your comfort zone? A tug that calls you to pursue your true passion? In the first episode of "Can I Getta Amen", we dive into that exact feeling and what brought us together for this project. We discuss the beauty of living every moment of life with intention and how we can use each of those moment to impact other's lives. No act is ever too small. One intentional moment at a time, we have the opportunity to influence the world around us to be a better place every singe day. We talk about these things, not because we do them perfectly, but because we struggle just like everyone to remember these things in our every day, busy lives. Joins us, we hope you will stay with us for a while and learn with us as we pursue our passion for leaving people better than when we found them.
