Ready, Willing & Able Podcast
The podcast “Ready, Willing, & Able,” with host Genevieve Anatalio, seeks to help parents better understand the faith themselves and equip them to be "ready, willing, and able" to explain and cultivate the faith in their families. In the latest episode, host Genevieve Anatalio dives into the challenges and solutions for keeping children engaged in the Catholic faith throughout their lives. Anatalio is joined by Dr. Michael Rota, a professor of philosophy at the University of St. Thomas, to explore the factors leading to religious disaffiliation and the practical steps parents can take to nurture their children's faith. Dr. Rota shares data-supported points for what helps children believe and practice their faith for years to come. Anatalio and Rota agree on the importance of parental unity, religious activity, and supportive community in fostering a lasting faith.
