Reclaiming Family Life at Home – Dr. John Cuddeback – 07/06/2026

Dr. John Cuddeback, professor of philosophy at Christendom College since 1997, joins Bo Bonner and the team to talk about his new book, The Intentional Household: Living as if People Matter, published by Ignatius Press. Drawing on decades of teaching and his own experience raising a family, Dr. Cuddeback explains how modern life has gradually dismantled the household as the center of daily living — and what it takes to rebuild it. Highlights include: Why he wrote the book now, and what's driving the "loss of the ordinary" in family life How prioritizing shared meals can be a simple, powerful starting point The household as a "school of responsibility," especially for fathers How multigenerational households can serve both children and the elderly well One practical step listeners can take today to reorient their home life The Intentional Household is available now everywhere Ignatius Press books are sold. 📖 Learn more: https://ignatius.com/ Listen to The Catholic Morning Show weekdays at 7 a.m. Central on the Iowa Catholic Radio Network, IowaCatholicRadio.com, or the Iowa Catholic Radio app. #IntentionalHousehold #CatholicFamily #JohnCuddeback #IgnatiusPress #CatholicPodcast #FaithAndFamily #CatholicMorningShow Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm. ENJOYING THE SHOW?
