Summary

In this episode, Danielle Bean interviews Erika Ahern from CatholicVote and The Loop. They discuss the importance of engaging in deep conversations about politics and religion, teaching children to navigate these topics, and the mission of The Loop to "become the media."

They also share insights on balancing work, home, and relationships, and offer advice on seeking forgiveness and navigating difficult relationships.

Engaging in deep conversations about politics and religion is important for personal growth and understanding.
Teaching children to navigate these topics helps them develop critical thinking skills and prepares them for conversations in the broader society.
The Loop's mission to become the media aims to provide trustworthy and Catholic-centered news and analysis.
Balancing work, home, and relationships requires prioritizing prayer, maintaining open communication, and finding joy in the liturgical year.
Seeking forgiveness and navigating difficult relationships requires patience, prayer, and accepting that some relationships may never be the same.
