Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, we delve into a vital conversation about Catholic parenting and what it means to raise a truly rich Catholic family. A recent question from my daughter—"Dad, do people who have no faith have a harder life?"—prompted us to deeply reflect on the wisdom of St. John Chrysostom and its relevance to our roles as Catholic parents.
