Love Plays Offense: Lion Strength and Holiness with Fr. Luke Doyle - 09/10/2026

Catholic Women Now

Julie Nelson and Chris Magruder welcome Fr. Luke Doyle, chaplain and director of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center at the University of Kansas and author of the new Ascension book Priest in the Wild: Stories of Meeting God in the Everyday. Fr. Luke unpacks why holiness is found in ordinary moments, the difference between being childlike and being childish, and why love always plays offense instead of defense. He also shares how Our Lady crushes our fears, how celibacy opened him to a greater spiritual fatherhood, and how Christ the Lion of Judah offers us His "lion strength" through the sacraments.
