Smarts Seniors guest this week is Tina Uglow.

On this episode of Rooted and Rising, Julie Shore and Father Michael Prey dig into Pope Leo XIV’s recent homily and the Feast of the Assumption—and what it means for anyone navigating campus life, social media pressure, and the constant noise about how you “should” look or perform.

They unpack why Mary isn’t just a statue that always looks young and perfect. She’s a model of lasting beauty rooted in faithfulness, kindness, sacrifice, and real relationship with Christ. From helping a stressed roommate move in, to choosing presence over perfection, to noticing the people around you instead of scrolling past them—this conversation gets practical about what beauty in action actually looks like on a college campus.

If you’re tired of the highlight reel and hungry for something more grounded, this one’s for you.

In this encore episode of The Family Show, Eleanor Rossman joins Brenda and Randy Lee for a moving conversation that begins with a summer music camp and arrives at the heart of what it means to live well.

A young participant’s simple answer at a Celtic fiddle workshop—“to become a better musician”—became the weekend’s central question. Master fiddler Alistair Fraser’s response: play every tune as if it is the only song your audience will ever hear. The Lees then ask what that looks like for the rest of us.

At Mass, the priest opens with Jeremiah 29:11 and tells the story of Alex Alvarez, a joyful 20-year-old who declared it would be the best day of his life, lived it with faith and kindness, and died hours later from a sudden aneurysm.

Faced with that loss, the conversation turns from “Why did he die?” to the deeper question: “Why did he live?” Drawing on Scripture, the saints, and the quiet call to know, love, and serve God, Brenda and Randy explore stewardship, daily “yes,” and the power of a life that leaves others knowing a prophet has been among them.

Warm, honest, and rooted in hope—this episode lingers.

On this week's  episode, James Good and Eric Tereo discuss the anatomy of a market turndown.

In this episode of In the News, co-host Julie Shore sits down with Father Michael Pray (parochial vicar of Saint Francis Xavier in Gettysburg and chaplain at Gettysburg College) for a warm, practical conversation sparked by Pope Leo’s powerful prayer for the month of July.

Father Pray opens by praying the Holy Father’s own words—a moving plea to recognize and protect the “unique and unrepeatable value of every human being,” to tenderly care for fragility, and to make the Church an open home where no one feels unwanted. From there the two dig into what “image and likeness of God” really means, why grace is simply divine help we receive through the sacraments, and how a culture that cheapens life needs constant reminders that all lives matter—from the womb to the tomb, in war zones, immigration crises, mental illness, and everyday loneliness.

They tackle the trap of reducing people to numbers (whether casualty counts or Instagram likes), the FOMO and objectification young adults face online, and the quiet power of “ordinary time.” Practical takeaways abound: how parents can help children see themselves as infinitely loved, why a simple smile or patient word can be a sacred act, and a clear challenge for listeners—give thanks for life and help those in need, one small daily encounter at a time.

Thoughtful, grounded, and free of political slogans, this episode invites you to move beyond headlines and live the Gospel of life in the places that actually matter: your family, your workplace, and the person right in front of you.

Listen now and rediscover why every human life is worth the total gift of ourselves.
