“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
MATTHEW 9:12-13
Join me a divorced, liberal follower of Jesus as I ask my deacon dad and spiritual director mom to help me figure out what it means to be Catholic today. With a lot of heart, we break down everything a self-proclaimed "Bad Catholic" needs to know to grow in her faith.
You've come to the right place & I'm so glad that you're here!
enjoy friends!
GET TO KNOW YOUR HOSTS TRISHA, TONI, & DEACON DAVID
BIENVENIDAS A LA FAMILIA
David ESPINOZA
Meet my Dad, David. Ordained in 2010, he has dedicated nearly 15 years to tirelessly serving his parish and community. Renowned for his love of facts (and for being on the "right" side of a theological debate), we don't always see eye-to-eye, but we always listen and learn from each other.
TONI F. ESPINOZA
Meet my mom, Toni. With over 35 years in the Catholic Church, she's a spiritual director who though devout, considers herself more spiritual than religious. Known for her deep faith, she prayed for a miracle when my dad was diagnosed with terminal heart failure in 2004. Six months later, doctors were baffled when he made an unexpected recovery!

TRISHA F. ESPINOZA
As an ICF-certified life and leadership coach, award-winning media executive, and the former Head of Content Strategy for MTV and VH1, I use my diverse skillset to help women like you realize your God-given potential and become the courageous badass God intended you to be.
