102 Raising Lifelong Learners in the Faith — 10 Catholic Homeschool Tools We Love

In this episode, Maeve and Mat share ten practical tools that have strengthened their Catholic homeschooling over the years — from faith-filled apps and saint resources to apologetics cards, family-friendly podcasts, and tech choices that support virtue.You’ll hear real-life stories from their home, how these tools have shaped their kids’ faith and confidence, and why small daily practices — like saint-of-the-day readings, friendly apologetics conversations, and intentional tech — can make a big difference in family life and discipleship.This one is equal parts helpful, encouraging, and a little bit hilarious (yes, including the sprinting Amazon driver and the middle-school group text thread).Episode notes, Published January 11, 2026Catholic Apps & Digital ToolsiMissal — Saint of the Day & Daily Readings https://imissal.comLaudate — Catholic Prayers, Rosary, Catechism & More https://www.ayckasoft.com/laudateTruthfully — Catholic AI Study & Reference Tool https://truthly.aiBooks, Audio & Kids Resources57 Saints — Catholic Biography Collection https://ignatius.com/57-saints-p2905/Friendly Defender Flashcards (Catholic Apologetics for Kids & Teens) https://friendlydefenders.comHoly Heroes — Advent, Lent, Glory Stories & Faith Resources https://holyheroes.comCatechism & Faith FormationCatechism of the Catholic Church (Online Reference) https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTMCatholic Answers — Apologetics Articles & Podcasts https://www.catholic.comCatholic Podcasts MentionedCatechism in a Year — Fr.
