“Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.” – G.K. Chesterton

In this powerful episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, Bobby and Katie dive deep into the reality that Catholic marriage is both a battle and a beautiful adventure. Drawing from Chesterton’s wisdom, they explore how marriage requires commitment, strategy, courage, sacrifice, and faith — the same virtues needed by any great warrior.

In this episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, Bobby and Katie dive deep into two powerful posts from Pope Leo XIV on education in today’s digital world. The Holy Father reminds us that the first challenge of modern education is the formation of the interior life—learning to listen to the restlessness of our hearts and seek true meaning beyond the noise of the world. The second challenge, he says, is digital education—how to humanize online spaces and avoid becoming prisoners of the algorithm.

Together, Bobby and Katie unpack what it means to raise children, strengthen marriages, and live as disciples in a world ruled by screens. They explore practical ways to cultivate silence, self-awareness, and authentic relationships while using technology with wisdom and virtue.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by social media, distracted by your phone, or unsure how to guide your family in the digital age—this episode will help you reclaim your attention, renew your heart, and rediscover your purpose in Christ.

In this episode, Katie interviews Bobby about his incredible 8-day pilgrimage to Poland for the World Premiere of the movie Triumph of the Heart—a powerful film telling the story of St. Maximilian Kolbe, his heroic life, and his ultimate sacrifice at Auschwitz concentration camp.

What started as a trip for a movie premiere quickly became a pilgrimage on mission—to help spread the word about this heroic saint and his untold story. Bobby shares what it was like to travel with the cast, crew, director, and producers, while visiting some of the most meaningful places connected to St. Max’s life and legacy:

• Toruń – the final stop, filled with history and faith 🕊️

Together, we reflect on the impact of Triumph of the Heart, the beauty and suffering of Poland’s history, and how St. Maximilian Kolbe’s life of sacrificial love still speaks powerfully to our world today.

✨ In this episode you’ll hear:

• Behind-the-scenes of the movie premiere in Poland
