Carolina Catholic learns about the difficulties of coming home through redeployment and the origins of Valentine’s Day
For our second show in January 2026, I have the incredible privilege of talking to Dr. Bobby Jakucs, a Marine Corps combat veteran and a Catholic clinical psychologist, about his 2025 article, “Coming Home Through Redeployment” (Catholic Exchange). In this moving article, he explains the challenges faced by veterans of wars when reintegrating into American society. I also talk again to Anthony DeStefano about his newest book, Your Valentine, the story of St. Valentine which reveals the heroic faith and compassion of this beautiful saint.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the third and fourth weekends of January.

Carolina Catholic starts the new year with Dr. Dan Schneider and Father Lawrence Carney!
For our first show in January 2026, I delve into spiritual warfare with Dr. Dan Schneider, whose newest book from TAN with co-author, Jesse Romero, Spiritual Warfare Q&A, addresses topics like exorcism, the occult, magic, horror films, yoga, haunted houses, Freemasonry, and other modern avenues of spiritual danger. I then speak to Father Carney about his newest book from TAN Books on the Holy Face, Preparation for Total Consecration to the Holy Face of Jesus: How God Draws the Soul into the Purgative, Illuminative, and Unitive Ways. Father teaches us how to consecrate ourselves to the Holy Face in a 33-day prayerful spiritual journey culminating in the consecration on the 34th day, with the first consecration beginning on January 15th and ending on Shrove Tuesday.

Carolina Catholic chats with Sophia Institute Press about the sanctuary light, the road to Bethlehem, and its newest app, Saintifi
For our second December show, we focus on exciting projects from Sophia Institute Press. We chat with children's book author, Susan Joy Bellavance, about her newest book, This Little Light of Thine. And we then speak to Rebecca Wildsmith, the daughter of a children's book author, Brian Wildsmith, about his book, The Road to Bethlehem. Finally, we speak to the publisher of Sophia Institute Press, Charlie McKinney, about its newest offering, an app called Saintifi. Susan's book shines a light on the Eucharist for children, while Rebecca shows us the love even animals have for Our Blessed Mother. Finally, Charlie introduces us to an app that gives us access to hundreds of Sophia's books for less than the cost of a single book on the brand new app, Saintifi.

January's Teaching Moment
During January, we commemorate in prayer and sorrow two human rights violations: abortion that began in January 1973 and human trafficking or modern day slavery, which should have ended with the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863. Both of these should be seen as pro-life issues as they have much in common:
- Traffickers dehumanize their victims; abortion dehumanizes the unborn child.
- Abortionists abort the child for profit; traffickers sell their victims for profit.
- Traffickers fail to see the humanity of their victims. Abortionists refuse to see the unborn child as a member of the human race.
- In both of these, victims are seen as disposable at the whim of another’s will.
- The right to life is denied the unborn child; the right to live one’s life in freedom is denied the trafficking victim, and both use violence against the innocent to further their goals.
So as we begin a new year, let us pray for the victims of both of these terrible human rights violations.
Carolina Catholic learns about Visio Divina, the apparitions of Our Lord, and a little sparrow who fell to the ground
For our first December show, we learn about Visio Divina, or the praying with sacred art, from author, Derek Rotty, from his new book called Praying with Sacred Art: Pondering the Mystery of Redemption through Visio Divina. We then chat with a spokesman for Sophia Institute Press, Michael Lichens, about The World of Jesus' Apparitions by Polish theologian, Wincenty Laszewski. Finally, we talk to Catholic children's author, Anthony DeStefano, about his newest book, The Sparrow Who Fell to the Ground, a beautiful story based on Matthew 10:29-31.
