In this episode of Practicing Catholic, Taylor Kemp and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger reflect honestly on what they’ve learned as parents striving to hand on the faith in everyday family life. From modeling prayer and making faith incarnational to building strong community, loving your spouse well, and learning not to over-spiritualize every parenting decision, this conversation offers grounded, hopeful wisdom for Catholic parents at every stage. The hosts also answer practical listener questions, including how to balance family life with service and when to take misbehaving kids out of Mass—all while trusting that our children ultimately belong to God.Have a question or topic idea for future episodes?
