Catholic Mormon Podcast

Finally...  that's about the only reasonable title we could come up with for this show.As mentioned in the podcast, here is the link to Skype. Please let us know what you think by leaving a FREE voice mail using Skype.  Our screenname is 'catholicmormon' and we look forward to hearing from you!As always, you can also email us at catholicmormon@gmail.com Thanks again to everyone who has stuck with us over the months and years and a huge welcome to all the new listeners of the CMP! 

In an effort to ensure that those who remained subscribed to the CMP know that there is some action on the website, I wanted to put out this brief audio update.  Thought I'd also share a recent picture of the kids helping mommy...Thanks again for staying subscribed!--rob

First, where the heck did summer go???  Jeez o man, we cannot believe the leaves are starting to turn already!  You'll probably find this show a little more 'raw' when compared to a typical show.  In the interest of time, we've decided to keep some of the 'screw ups' that we would have otherwise edited out...  hope it isn't terribly distracting!  We hope you agree this is a great show, it's packed with your emails and our responses...  this was truely a listener inspired show, thank you!!!Here's the link to Sarah's eBay storeOn another note, let us never forget 9/11 (a very moving clip at the end of the podcast titled 'Silent Night 9-11'

Thanks for all of the emails and posts on the web site over the past several weeks.  It felt really good to turn out a new show and get some of the podcast rust off of us that has developed.  Please continue to send us your conversion stories, thoughts & reactions to topics discussed along with anything else you would like to contribute!

Hey Gang - Inspiration has struck...  Sarah and I decided to do something a little different this time. We recorded this show using GarageBand on her MacBook outside.  Hopefully the sound quality is acceptable and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that those are frogs in the background.  Honest, we have no clue!  Thanks to everyone who has posted on the web site and sent emails.  As we mentioned a few shows ago, it's your questions and thoughts that are going to shape the show and determine how often they come out for the most part!  Below is an Amazon link to the book recommended by Jason as part of his email on favorite Saints...

Hey Gang - thanks for sticking with us.  This was a fun show to produce as we worked our way through a couple emails and ended up spending a good amount of time talking about one perticular email of a couple in the early stages of working out this religion thing...  it brought back a ton of memories!Also in this show, I mentioned video podcast Mormon Cast.  It's a weekly video podcast that presents a variety of topics from cooking to LDS movies...  well produced.  Check out the website at www.mormoncast.org **CALL FOR CONTENT***For shows planned in July, we're looking for you to contribute in a couple specific topics.  The first will deal with Patron Saints.  Who is your Patron Saint and why?  Tell us a little about this person and why they are so special to you.  The second topic will deal with the topic of Exorcism.  Not sure how deep or where this one will go, but it should be interesting!!!Thanks to all who visit the website and have voted for us at Podcast Alley!

Notes and other stuff coming soon...

Although I'm sure some of you have already seen this video from our website, I thought it would be nice to share with all and the timing couldn't be better, right?Sarah and I are so happy on this day when those of you who have walked the long journey through the RCIA classess with curiosity, excitement, perseverance and prayer. TODAY IS THE BIG PAYOFF!In this video, you see Sarah come into the Catholic Church along with several of the friends we came to know so well during the classes. Although the shots don't really show her face too often, you can sorta figure it out. She took on the name 'Anne'. Father Tom presided over the Mass (and married us as a little side note).Please share your experience with us!!! If you were received into the church this year, tell us about your experience, was it what you had hoped it would be? How did you feel receiving Our Lord during Communion for the first time? We REALLY want to hear what it was for you...send pictures...voice mails...emails...anything. Welcome Home...

Here's a special CMP that I had to get out to everyone. Ray provided a wonderful reversion story and I accidently didn't include it in April's show. It's good... real good and something that anyone who has gone down the road of a mixed faith relationship can associate with. The original text of his story can be found HERE. As I mentioned in the beginning, I tried my best to translate his post for ease of reading in the show (and I hope I did a good job).After listening to this show, you'll understand the picture a little better, but it is just one of many examples of how Sarah is a little more laid back than Rob.

Show notes coming soon... (wanted to get this posted ASAP!)

This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands, but Sarah is unable to assist in putting a show together. After watching this (assuming it works), I'm sure you will understand why we prefer the audio format. I've got a face for radio... Anyway, thanks for indulging me as I play around for a couple minutes.

Thank you to everyone who emailed us and left voice mails, it's this interaction that makes the CMP so special!Please visit Julie's blog Happy Catholic when you have a chance, it's one of the best Catholic blogs out there!Also, thanks to the Podsafe Music Network for allowing podcasts like us to have access to wonderful (and license free) music!If you're wondering what the image for this show has to do with anything, well... you'll just have to take a listen to the conversion story...We're getting ready to celebrate our one year anniversary of producing the CMP and ask everyone to share a though about the show. Maybe something Sarah or I said made you laugh, tugged on a heartstring, moved you to do something or just generally brightened up your day. We'd love to hear from you! Drop us a voice mail at 678-292-0191.

Notes coming soon...

Thanks to Katherine for sharing this beautiful picture of her children and pulling together a great Conversion Story! In this Conversion Cast, we have three wonderful stories. This truly is YOUR show and we're very thankful that this special feature has been able to continue on...Throughout most of this show, I added background music which was pulled from the Podsafe Music NetworkHere are the list of song in order as they appeared: CMP Theme 'Faith' by Tony St. Tone (not on Podsafe Music Network) Mark Heimonen - Always Carlos Tabora - Remember When Randy Knaub - Feels like Heaven Rob Costlow - Bliss Denis Kitchen - My Friend Grigor Iliev - Remains from the Past Johnny Owl - Melody Steelers Fight Song - Here we go! (not on Podsafe Music Network)

Hey Gang, hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while since Sarah and I were able to produce a new podcast and I was starting to get the shakes...so, we decided to do two in the same night! Yep, it's a bonus CMP cast filled with your emails, discussion on the US Supreme Court and our thoughts regarding a fellow CMPer's situation at work.Two web sites were mentioned in this podcast:HERE is the link to Julie's Happy Catholic Blog. She's got a great site with tons of interesting reading for all to enjoy. Including her conversion story. (Sorry Julie that I was not able to access it during the recording of the show, although I do see that it's back up now...)Next is one of the original CMP listeners, Brad. HERE is the link to his blog. This is not only an interesting blog which follows his relationship with his LDS girlfriend, but also a great resource for Catholic Apologetics.
