The Saint Squad Effect
Featuring Amy J. Cattapan
When we’re having a bad day or going through a rough patch, some of the greatest comforts come from our friends. Whether it’s to give us advice, pump us up, or just sit with us in the hard stuff, having solid people in our lives is crucial for feeling supported.
In this episode, discover how to create a group of heavenly helpers—or “saint squad,” as speaker, writer, and teacher Amy J. Cattapan calls it—to connect with saints personally and to reap the benefits of their guidance and intercession. In this chat, Amy and Chenele also explore the profound impact that the lives of saints can have on the faith of young people and show how to incorporate that practice into everyday faith.
