  • ILT Ep69 48 Hours of Faith: The Sullivan Family Jubilee
    Sep 23 2026
    What would it look like to create a “family jubilee” - a time set aside for prayer, forgiveness, gratitude, family connection and growing together in faith? John Soukup and Bob Sullivan explore the biblical roots of the Jubilee and how Bob and his family turned the idea into a two-day family experience that included pilgrimage, Dad Talks, and even firearms and self-defense training. More importantly, they discuss how Catholic fathers can adapt the idea to their own families and make spiritual leadership not just a once-in-a-while event, but a way of life.

    Aug 26 2026

    What happens when a Catholic man spends years practicing his faith without truly knowing Christ? Greg Willits, founder of RosaryArmy.com and co-host of The Rosary Army Catholic podcast, joins In Layman's Terms to talk honestly about his own journey of faith—and the lessons he has learned along the way. Drawing from his new book, God Doesn't Hate Me After All: Discovering Louis de Montfort's Love of Eternal Wisdom, Greg discusses the importance of Catholic companions, his spiritual friendship with St. Louis de Montfort, and why so many men struggle to believe they are worthy of God's mercy.
