125 - The Faith Has to Become Theirs

What keeps children Catholic long after they leave home?After interviewing youth minister Rick Grinstead, Maeve couldn't stop thinking about one powerful statement:"They didn't leave the faith in college. They left a faith that was never theirs."In this episode, Maeve and Mat explore what it really takes to help children move beyond simply attending Mass to developing a personal relationship with Christ.Along the way they share: a surprising Catholic trivia challenge,  what they learned as godparents in a baptism preparation class,  a visit to the Shroud of Turin exhibit and Carlo Acutis Eucharistic Miracles display,  highlights from Steubenville Youth Conference,  an unforgettable moment in Eucharistic Adoration,  and a remarkable phone call that reminded Maeve she was exactly where God wanted her to be. If you've ever wondered how to help your children build a faith that lasts, this conversation is filled with practical encouragement and hope.Grab the 2026-2027 Catholic Homeschool Planner here.Isn't it hard to find Catholic friends?!
