Saints for Slackers

About Saints for Slackers

The Saints for Slackers Podcast launched in 2021 to share little inspirations with all of us slackers whom God calls to be saints. A “CliffNotes on the saints” for slackers, our podcast episodes feature a 3-5 minute reflection of an inspiring saint and introduce a hilarious “wannabe patron saint” created by our team to pair faith and fun. Our Fall 2023 Little Way Edition (9/21 - 11/30/23) will focus on our patroness, St. Thérèse of Lisieux. We will introduce her “Little Way” spirituality weekly through its primary themes. This season will feature 19 new saints who embody the Little Way in themes like love, humility, trust, sacrifice, and abandonment. Podcasts are posted on Sundays + Thursdays, presented by our restoration ministry team + special guests, and are enjoyed by kids to retirees. So join in the fun and get inspired, as we’re all called to holiness, including us slackers!
