Can God Work Through My Family Story? Catholicism for Catholics with Blessed is She

In this episode of Catholicism for Catholics, Dr. Mary Ruth Hackett reflects on how our Catholic faith shapes our relationships, especially with our families of origin. Sharing from her own experience as a Protestant convert to Catholicism, Dr. Hackett opens up about the challenges, misunderstandings, and grace that can come when faith journeys look different within a family. Her story reminds us that evangelization doesn’t begin with arguments, it begins with living a joyful, authentic Catholic life. In this conversation, she highlights three important ways we can integrate our faith into our relationships: Live your faith — Let your life reflect the joy and grace of the sacraments. Be well-formed — Grow in your understanding of what the Church teaches and why. Act with courage — When others ask about your faith, respond with charity and confidence. Whether your family shares your faith or not, this episode offers encouragement to love well, witness authentically, and trust the Holy Spirit at work in every conversation. If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate faith conversations with family members or how to live your Catholic faith more fully in everyday relationships, this episode is for you.
