Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode we welcome Dr. Bob Schuchts, a marriage and family counselor and the founder of the JPII Healing Center, to talk about the wounded feminine heart. Dr. Bob shares the insights he has learned from his work as a counselor and as a husband and father on how women can take steps to heal the depths of their hearts. We chat about the core wounds all women face, practical ways women can find restoration, and how the sanctification of YOUR heart contributes to the sanctification of the Church.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Teresa Hodgins, Endow Host and author of the High School study series, reads Chapter 1 from St. Hildegard – Discovering the Doctors of the Church.
To download a sample chapter and view our study guide planning page visit: https://www.endowgroups.org/study-guides-for-youth/
This study explores all 37 Doctors of the Church but explores in depth the newest female Doctor, Saint Hildegard of Bingen. She was a prophet, composer, playwright, preacher, gifted healer, and a Benedictine nun. She founded two convents, wrote multiple books, provided spiritual counsel to popes, bishops, kings, and queens, and even invented her own language, with its own alphabet. Join us for this unique look at this fascinating saint and doctor of the Church. This study will challenge you to consider how God is working in your own life and remind you of the inheritance, community, and friendship we have in the doctors of the Faith and especially in St. Hildegard.

Editor's Note: This is a re-broadcast. It was originally published in January 2022.
Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Bill Marcotte on how reading John Paul II's document on the nature and dignity of women transformed his life and marriage.
Nota bene: Math types typically don't go into theological studies. Mulieris Dignitatem was written 33, not 22 years ago. Meae culpae. (Plural for "Mea culpa" in Latin meaning)
Bill is the Assistant Director of the Institute of Catholic Theology and brings many years of Catholic pastoral ministry experience at both parish and diocesan levels with a wide-ranging knowledge and expertise in developing program strategies in the work of evangelization, catechesis, discipleship, and spearheading missionary project teams and six World Youth Day pilgrimages.
Since 1984 Bill has been pioneering a variety of new methods of evangelization and catechesis through the founding of Youth Arise North America (a Catholic School of Evangelization - now Caritas in Veritate) and Catholic Network Ministry, a partnership with Young Life. From 1994 to 2000, he served as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel’s Director of Youth and Young Adults, and in 1999 received the “Vision Award” from the Diocese of Phoenix in Youth Evangelization.
He married his lovely wife Beth in January of 1987. They have five children and six grandchildren, and his family reside in Tempe, AZ. and attend Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Jen Fulwiler along with Katie Smith, Director of Development on the key papal documents which led to her conversion from atheism and the reality that embracing imperfection is key to building a culture of life.
Jen Fulwiler is a standup comic, bestselling author, and mom of six. Her new podcast, This Is Jen, debuted in the Comedy Top 10 on iTunes. She self-produced her first standup comedy tour — booking theaters across the country with nothing more than a Google search and her personal credit card — and sold out almost every show. Her first book, Something Other than God, a memoir about converting to Catholicism from lifelong atheism, was a finalist in the Goodreads Reader Choice Awards, ranked alongside books by Hillary Clinton and Rob Lowe. Her book One Beautiful Dream was a Wall Street Journal bestseller, hit the Amazon Top 25, and was a #1 bestseller at Barnes and Noble. Her newest title, Your Blue Flame, was featured on the Today Show.
Katie Smith has been with Endow since January of 2019. She has an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Portland and worked in technology for five years before discerning a call to put her talents at the service of the Catholic Church. In 2011 she received a full scholarship to pursue a Master of Divinity degree from the University of Notre Dame.
Thanks for listening!

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, reads Chapter 1 from the Endow Study Guide on Pope Paul VI's encyclical Of Human Life (Humanae Vitae).
The key message of this document is understanding the inseparable dependency of authentic love and truth in human relationships. This is Pope Paul VI’s long-awaited and controversial encyclical explaining the beauty of marriage and the sanctity of human life within that bond. This study is important because it addresses many questions modern Catholics have battled in today’s culture dealing with human love in relationships. It is an important topic to discuss and a great resource in understanding why the Church so strongly guides us towards honoring our dignity within intimate relationships and God’s very hand in procreation.

Editor's Note: This is a re-broadcast. It was originally published in October 2022.
Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Anna Heschmeyer on how John Paul II's Apostolic Letter on suffering was an experience of transformation and healing and what kept her in the Catholic Church.
Anna Heschmeyer is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Missouri and Kansas. Anna grew up in Southern California and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Thomas Aquinas College and a Master of Science degree from Fuller Theological Seminary.
While Anna felt an early pull toward working with others in a therapeutic context, her path took her on some other turns first. After college, she worked for Catholic Answers in San Diego, then worked in parish ministry in the Washington, D.C. area for several years. After this, she moved to Phoenix, where she worked as a high school guidance counselor while pursuing her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.
Anna came to Kansas City in 2018, when she married her husband, Joe. They now have a wonderful toddler who keeps her and her husband quite entertained. Anna moved to the Center for Healing after several years at a private marriage and family therapy group practice.
Anna has pursued training in EMDR therapy, an empirically validated model used in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and other mental health issues, as well as extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, one of the most effective therapies for treating couples and attachment issues.
Being able to witness the capacity of the human person to find meaning and hope in life through often daunting circumstances is one of Anna’s greatest joys as a therapist.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Father Dwight Longenecker on the nature of evil, spiritual warfare, and feisty feminism!
Father was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, he went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually, he was ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge, and a country parson on the Isle of Wight.
Realizing that the Anglican Church was on a divergent path, in 1995 he and his family were received into the Catholic Church. In 2006 the door opened to return to the USA and be ordained as a Catholic priest. He now serves as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina.

On this episode, Teresa Hodgins, Endow host and writer, reads Chapter 1 of the Endow Study Guide on Aquinas for Beginners Part II.
In Part II of Aquinas for Beginners, we take the virtues we have come to intimately understand in Part 1 and put them in practice. There are many everyday examples to help solidify these concepts so women may consciously live the moral life to which we are called. By learning the names and descriptions of various vices and virtues, women are encouraged to live vibrant Catholic lives with deliberateness and purpose.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Teresa Hodgins, Endow host and writer, reads Chapter 1 of the Endow Study Guide on Aquinas for Beginners Part I.
Pope St. John Paul II said, “the Church has been justified in consistently proposing St. Thomas as a master of thought and a model of the right way to pursue theology.” Here we explore what Aquinas has to teach us about the virtues and theory and the essential purpose of living the moral life as Catholic women.

The holiday season is a great reminder for many of us that the promise of peace from the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, has yet to be fulfilled in many of our families.
The Holy Family had circumstances beyond their control–namely, the attempted murder of the Christ Child–that could have disrupted their peace as family unit.
While we can’t always control the external forces working against us, we can pray for forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing from the physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds that keep us in bondage and distant from one another.
The Feast of the Holy Family is an excellent day to pray for peace in your family. And if you can pray together as a family, healing prayers will be quicker and more effective. (Matthew 18:20)

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Annette Bergeon, CEO, reads Chapter 1 of the Endow Study Guide on John Paul II’s Mother of the Redeemer (Redemptoris Mater).
In this 1987 encyclical, John Paul II reminds us that Mary is the greatest saint, and he explains why this is so. John Paul II calls her the “most excellent expression of the feminine genius.” Mary’s ‘yes’ to her role in God’s plan places her at the center of salvation history. This study helps women understand and appreciate the place Mary holds in the Church.

On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Claire Dwyer on how to live with a "cloistered heart" in the midst of the world and how to grow in spiritual maturity through the gifts and limitations of your personality by examining the four temperaments.
Claire Dwyer lives in Arizona with her husband and six children who range in age from 23 to 9. She works for the Avila Foundation and writes and speaks on topics such as authentic femininity, discernment of one’s personal vocation, living fully the present moment. At EventheSparrow.com she writes on everything from saints to the spiritual life to the sacramentality of the everyday, and earlier this year published her first book, This Present Paradise: A Spiritual Journey with St. Elizabeth of the Trinity. Her passion is to help fellow followers of Christ see the beauty and possibility of their interior lives and own their unrepeatable place in the Church.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Anna Heschmeyer on how John Paul II's Apostolic Letter on suffering was an experience of transformation and healing and what kept her in the Catholic Church.
Anna Heschmeyer is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Missouri and Kansas. Anna grew up in Southern California and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Thomas Aquinas College and a Master of Science degree from Fuller Theological Seminary.
While Anna felt an early pull toward working with others in a therapeutic context, her path took her on some other turns first. After college, she worked for Catholic Answers in San Diego, then worked in parish ministry in the Washington, D.C. area for several years. After this, she moved to Phoenix, where she worked as a high school guidance counselor while pursuing her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.
Anna came to Kansas City in 2018, when she married her husband, Joe. They now have a wonderful toddler who keeps her and her husband quite entertained. Anna moved to the Center for Healing after several years at a private marriage and family therapy group practice.
Anna has pursued training in EMDR therapy, an empirically validated model used in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and other mental health issues, as well as extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, one of the most effective therapies for treating couples and attachment issues.
Being able to witness the capacity of the human person to find meaning and hope in life through often daunting circumstances is one of Anna’s greatest joys as a therapist.

On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Rebecca Wraith on a 6th century document by Pope St. Gregory the Great! The document is a "Benedictine Rule" of sorts for bishops and priests. Rebecca proposes that the Holy Father's counsel can and should be understood by the laity since in modern times lay people are pastoring and evangelizing side by side with clerics. There is a lot of wisdom to be gained by one of the greatest popes our Church has ever had as well as one of the 37 Doctors of the Church.
Link to the Rule: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/36011.htm
Rebecca Wraith is a Health Coach and Member Development Specialist for CMF CURO. She holds a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Theology from the International Theological Institute in Austria, with an undergraduate degree in Theology from Benedictine College in Kansas. She has her health coaching certification through the American Council on Exercise and is currently creating a health coaching model that integrates the full person: Mind, Body, and Spirit for CMF CURO members.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Montse Alvarado on Vatican II's shortest document on the relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions.
Montse joined the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty in 2009 and was named VP & Executive Director in February 2017. With a background in public policy and campaigns, she has led initiatives at Becket in development, communications, strategy and operations that have helped secure religious liberty victories against the contraceptive mandate, protect the rights of churches to choose their leaders, and safeguard the free speech of crisis pregnancy centers and religious groups on campus. She was profiled by the Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Edition with the following introduction: “A defender of all religion, on the front lines of America’s culture wars.”
Montse has a Masters from the George Washington University and a B.A. from Florida International University. She served on the Montgomery County Commission for Women in Maryland and is currently on the board of the Patients’ Rights Action Fund, the leading advocate against the legalization of assisted suicide; a lay consultant to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Religious Liberty Committee; a member of the President’s Advisory Counsel of the Fellowship of Catholic University Students; on the advisory council to the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR) and the GIVEN Institute; and on the Hispanic Affairs Advisory Board for the Philos Project. Although not an attorney, she “plays one on TV” advocating for Becket clients on major television and radio networks including Univision, CNN en Español, Telemundo, Fox Business, and EWTN. Born in Mexico City, she is fluent in Spanish and French and is a competitive jazz and classical vocalist.

On this episode, Annette Bergeon, Executive Director, reads Chapter 1 from the St. Edith Stein Endow Study Guide, "Seeker of Truth."
This study introduces women to one of the twentieth century saints John Paul II canonized during his pontificate. A young Jewish woman who suffered through the Holocaust, converted to Catholicism and found her vocation by joining the beautiful Carmelite sisters. Her story encompasses elements of philosophy (particularly phenomenology, which was a strong interest of John Paul II’s), and theology and offers compelling insights into Jewish life in 1930’s Germany.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, reads Chapter 1 from the Endow Study Guide on Pope Paul VI's encyclical Of Human Life (Humanae Vitae).
The key message of this document is understanding the inseparable dependency of authentic love and truth in human relationships. This is Pope Paul VI’s long-awaited and controversial encyclical explaining the beauty of marriage and the sanctity of human life within that bond. This study is important because it addresses many questions modern Catholics have battled in today’s culture dealing with human love in relationships. It is an important topic to discuss and a great resource in understanding why the Church so strongly guides us towards honoring our dignity within intimate relationships and God’s very hand in procreation.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Bill Marcotte on how reading John Paul II's document on the nature and dignity of women transformed his life and marriage.
Nota bene: Math types typically don't go into theological studies. Mulieris Dignitatem was written 33, not 22 years ago. Meae culpae. (Plural for "Mea culpa" in Latin meaning)
Bill is the Assistant Director of the Institute of Catholic Theology and brings many years of Catholic pastoral ministry experience at both parish and diocesan levels with a wide-ranging knowledge and expertise in developing program strategies in the work of evangelization, catechesis, discipleship, and spearheading missionary project teams and six World Youth Day pilgrimages.
Since 1984 Bill has been pioneering a variety of new methods of evangelization and catechesis through the founding of Youth Arise North America (a Catholic School of Evangelization - now Caritas in Veritate) and Catholic Network Ministry, a partnership with Young Life. From 1994 to 2000, he served as Our Lady of Mt. Carmel’s Director of Youth and Young Adults, and in 1999 received the “Vision Award” from the Diocese of Phoenix in Youth Evangelization.
He married his lovely wife Beth in January of 1987. They have five children and six grandchildren, and his family reside in Tempe, AZ. and attend Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish.

On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Jen Fulwiler along with Katie Smith, Director of Development on the key papal documents which led to her conversion from atheism and the reality that embracing imperfection is key to building a culture of life.
Jen Fulwiler is a standup comic, bestselling author, and mom of six. Her new podcast, This Is Jen, debuted in the Comedy Top 10 on iTunes. She self-produced her first standup comedy tour — booking theaters across the country with nothing more than a Google search and her personal credit card — and sold out almost every show.

Her book One Beautiful Dream was a Wall Street Journal bestseller, hit the Amazon Top 25, and was a #1 bestseller at Barnes and Noble. Her newest title, Your Blue Flame, was featured on the Today Show.
Katie Smith has been with Endow since January of 2019. She has an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from the University of Portland and worked in technology for five years before discerning a call to put her talents at the service of the Catholic Church.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius. On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews John Henry Crosby, President and Founder of the Hildebrand Project in a special tribute celebrating the life and work of Alice von Hildebrand.
Alice became an internationally beloved figure through her many books and articles and numerous radio and television appearances. She is the widow of the famous Catholic philosopher, Dietrich von Hildebrand, whose work she developed and made her own, making important contributions especially to the Catholic understanding of marriage and of femininity. Despite misogyny and anti-Catholicism at every turn, Alice von Hildebrand was a professor of philosophy for nearly 40 years in New York City. In a climate of relativism, she championed the objectivity of truth. Some students on the verge of despair found a reason for living; many, despite the fact that she never mentioned religion, converted to Catholicism. Alice von Hildebrand lives in the apartment in New Rochelle that she shared with her husband. Dietrich von Hildebrand confided his life’s work to her, a gift and task she has now entrusted to the Hildebrand Project.
To access Alice von Hildebrand's articles, books, and videos please visit https://www.alicevonhildebrand.org
John Henry Crosby is a translator, writer, critic, and cultural entrepreneur. Late in 2003, searching for a life’s work that could integrate the quest for truth, the existential need for beauty, and the service of a great good, and beginning to despair of ever finding such a mission, he called Alice von Hildebrand to propose that he spend one year translating her late husband’s Aesthetics. Would she help, he asked. She did, and her blessing transformed his one-year plan into lifelong mission that soon attracted the collaboration of others. Thus, the life’s work he had sought found him. Established in February 2004, the Hildebrand Project’s mission to renew culture has grown to encompass publications, events, fellowships, and online resources that draw on the continuing vitality of Dietrich von Hildebrand’s thought and witness.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius. On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Father Dwight Longenecker on the nature of evil, spiritual warfare, and feisty feminism!
Father was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, he went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually, he was ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge, and a country parson on the Isle of Wight.

Welcome to The Endow Podcast! This podcast is a forum for women to foster conversations about the intellectual life and intentional community for the cultivation of the feminine genius.
On this episode, Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth, interviews Dr. Maria Fedoryka on philosophy and also on the philosophy of love! (And why feelings are central, actually.)
Love explains everything about everything. ~Dr. Maria Fedoryka
Dr. Maria Fedoryka is associate professor of philosophy and Chair of the department at Ave Maria University in Naples, FL. For the last several years she has studied, taught and lectured widely on questions related to the nature and dignity of the human person, especially the philosophy of love, and the place of love in the lives of persons, examining issues spanning from the centrality of love in the being of God, to its role at the center of creation, to its meaning for marriage, family, and sexuality.

The holiday season is a great reminder for many of us that the promise of peace from the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, has yet to be fulfilled in many of our families.
The Holy Family had circumstances beyond their control–namely, the attempted murder of the Christ Child–that could have disrupted their peace as family unit.
While we can’t always control the external forces working against us, we can pray for forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing from the physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds that keep us in bondage and distant from one another.
The Feast of the Holy Family is an excellent day to pray for peace in your family. And if you can pray together as a family, healing prayers will be quicker and more effective. (Matthew 18:20)
