168 The Adventure of a Lifetime featuring Melissa Dee of Saints Alive

AMDG.  If the saints have ever felt inaccessible or unrelatable to your family members, hearing their stories in a different format may help them come alive.  In this episode, Melissa Dee—homeschool graduate, mother, and producer of the Saints Alive podcast—joins the Kolbecast to share how she, her husband Alex, and their team produce episodes that she describes as watching a movie in your mind.  Melissa highlights the heart of each saint’s mission and explains how learning about the holy individuals who came before us is a way to learn about virtue played out and real-life role models.   

This episode includes a brief reference to self-harm in the context of challenges current teenagers face.
