Wannabe Saints

In this episode, Jordyn and Rachael explore the virtue of kindness and what it truly means to practice it in everyday life. They reflect on how the bar for kindness can feel surprisingly low in today’s world, where simple decency often stands out.

They discuss kindness as more than just being “nice,” breaking down several virtues that fall under it—like dependability, courtesy, politeness, and discipline—as well as vices that work against it, including selfishness, malice, despair, and discouragement. Referencing The Hidden Power of Kindness, they highlight kindness as a transformative strength and a daily choice that can impact both individuals and communities.

This episode points to the reality that authentic masculinity is not about perfection, but about perseverance, purity, and allowing God to redeem what is broken.

In this episode of Wannabe Saints, we reflect on charity and why it is the foundation of all virtues. Drawing from Scripture and the Catechism, we explore what charity truly means — loving God above all things for His own sake, loving ourselves rightly, and loving our neighbor for the love of God.

We look at how charity orders our lives, grounds our identity as “the one Jesus loves,” and perfects every other virtue through justice, humility, and self-gift. We also reflect on the radical call to love our enemies and how this kind of love transforms us and aligns us with the heart of the Father.

The episode concludes with practical ways to live charity daily and a Litany of Charity.
