DON'T LEAVE US A REVIEW- PRAY A DECADE OF THE ROSARY INSTEAD! This week on Saints in the Sticks, we’re talking about St. Matthias — the apostle chosen to replace Judas after the Resurrection and one of the most overlooked men in the New Testament.

His story is a reminder that God sees quiet faithfulness even when the world does not. Matthias followed Jesus faithfully for years before ever being publicly recognized, and his life teaches us that holiness is often built through patience, humility, perseverance, and trusting God’s timing.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, stuck waiting, or discouraged in ordinary life, this episode is for you.

Holy Thursday begins the Sacred Triduum — the three holiest days of the year — and in this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we reflect on the night of the Last Supper, when Jesus gave us the Eucharist, the priesthood, and the command to love one another through humble service.

We talk about why Holy Thursday is more than just a remembrance, how the Mass connects us to that night in the Upper Room, and what it means to live the Eucharist in everyday life — at home, at work, and in the ordinary moments where sacrifice and love are hardest.

This episode also includes a Southern Catholic Challenge of the Day to help you live Holy Thursday by practicing humility, gratitude, and real love for others.

On March 31st, the Church honors Saint Benjamin the Deacon, a courageous Christian who lived during the persecutions of the Persian Empire and remained faithful to Christ even under torture and death. In this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we take a deeper historical look at Saint Benjamin’s life, the persecution of Christians in Persia, and what his witness teaches Catholics today about courage, truth, and perseverance.

We reflect on how modern believers can stay faithful in a world that often pressures us to compromise, and we offer a Southern Catholic Challenge of the Day to help you live with the same bold faith as Saint Benjamin.

Grab your coffee or sweet tea, and walk with one of the Church’s heroic martyrs. ✝️

Palm Sunday begins the most important week of the year for Christians — Holy Week.
In this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we reflect on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, why the Church reads the Passion on Palm Sunday, and how the story of the waving palms and the Cross connects to everyday life in the South.

We talk about how faith isn’t just about what we say on Sunday, but how we live on at home, at work, with our family, and in the struggles nobody else sees.

This episode explores:
• Why March 25 is one of the most important days in salvation history
• What Mary’s “Let it be done” teaches us about faith

• Trusting the Lord when we don’t understand the plan

In this episode of The Southern Catholic Podcast, we prepare for Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week by reflecting on the readings for March 28, 2026. This Sunday brings us from the joy of Jesus entering Jerusalem to the sorrow of the Passion according to the Gospel of Matthew.

We talk about what it means to stay faithful when following Christ becomes difficult, why the Church makes us listen to the whole Passion story, and how Palm Sunday challenges us to remain with Jesus not only in moments of celebration, but also on the road to the Cross.
