88 -Eucharistic Encounter Recap: Adoration, Relics, Confession Fumbles, and Renewed Hope

Homeschooling For Catholic Parents

Fresh back from the Eucharistic Encounter in Tampa, we share what it’s like to watch 12,000 Catholics fill an arena for prayer, talks, and powerful adoration. From Fr. Mike Schmitz and Dr. Edward Sri to moving moments with Matt Maher, we talk confession (ever have an Act of Contrition fail?), Eucharistic miracles, first-class relics, and why the Eucharist is truly the source of our hope. You’ll also hear a quick apologetics insight about the altar and priest at Mass, our “holy conundrum” abou...

About Podcast

You’re wondering if homeschooling is for you. But your inner critic is telling you you’re not enough. How can I teach my kid when we can’t get through homework without tears and yelling? How would the daily routine look? What curriculum will you use? Your house is already a wreck. You don’t want to feel isolated, like you’re on an island where everyone wears long dresses and raises goats. Plus, aren’t homeschoolers weird?

I am so excited you're here! This podcast will give you peace of mind as you raise successful adults who understand their Catholic faith and how to defend it. I’ll help you find the routine that works for you, you’ll still have community, if that’s what you want, and even a clean, organized home is possible (sometimes).

I’m Maeve Jemison, and I host this pod with my handsome husband, Mat. We’re Catholics who prioritize worship and apologetics through our homeschool journey with our five kids.

I’ve made many mistakes along the way. As a young adult, I left the Catholic church because I didn't understand what was going on. I was a government school graduate and high school teacher so I thought homeschooling meant replicating government school at home. (I was wayyyy off!)

When I finally learned the depths and truths of Catholicism, I was adamant that I would teach my little cradle Catholics about the history and beauty of the religion that Jesus started. No way would my kids be as oblivious as I was. Our homeschooling became a delightful adventure, with the Lord guiding us in tailoring our children’s education. I knew I had found my calling!

If you’re ready to thrive as the domestic church through worship, apologetics and homeschooling, then this podcast is for you!

Thanks for stopping by because home is where the truth is!
