Busted Halo Show w/Fr. Dave Dwyer

As many struggle to stick to their New Year's resolutions, Father Dave welcomes back friend of the show Kathryn Whitaker to help him overcome roadblocks to cleaning out his office. Kathryn is the co-host of the weekly show "Strong Voices" on the Catholic Channel, host of the "NICU Babies Parent Support" podcast, and author of "Live Big, Love Bigger: Getting Real with BBQ, Sweet Tea and a Whole Lotta Jesus." She is also in the midst of her annual "Purge and Reset," where she cleans out her entire home with her husband and six children.

In an exciting Team Busted Halo announcement, Brett Siddell surprises Father Dave and Krista with news that his wife Brittany is expecting their first child. For more than 19 years, Brett has served the show in a variety of roles, including phone screener, producer, and now co-host. Father Dave, Brett, and Krista reflect on his growth over the years and excitement about becoming a father.

A listener named Randy asks Father Dave a question about the history of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. "Could you explain the Baltimore Catechism?" Randy asks. "My dad would always talk about it, but never gave an explanation of what it was. Is it still in effect, or is there a new Catechism?"

As we share meals with those we love this holiday season, Father Dave welcomes Emily Stimpson Chapman to discuss her new book "Around the Catholic Table: 100+ Simple Recipes for Family and Friends."

The holiday season can be a lonely time for singles seeking marriage, and Father Dave welcomes back speaker and author Emily Wilson Hussem to discuss her new Catholic dating app SacredSpark.
