What does it look like to follow God’s call while raising a family, homeschooling, and creating something meaningful?
In this episode of The Creative Catholics, Alex sits down with Olivia Spears, founder of Into the Deep, to talk about the intersection of faith, motherhood, creativity, and work.
Olivia shares the story behind Into the Deep and how what began as a resource for her own children grew into a mission serving Catholic families. Together, they explore the difference between simply teaching the faith and helping children truly fall in love with it, the tension mothers can feel between family life and creative work, and what it means to recognize that these different parts of ourselves can coexist.
They also dive into discernment, perseverance, failure, social media, and the hidden ways God uses our work to refine us. Olivia offers a beautiful reminder that when we prayerfully make the best decision we can, we don't have to be afraid of getting it wrong—God's grace goes with us.
This is a conversation about trusting God with the things we're building, learning to steward rather than control our work, and remembering that holiness can be found in every part of our lives.
Plus, Olivia shares what's new at Into the Deep, including Virtus: A Treasury for the Good Life, an upcoming study on Confession, and the next level of their full-year catechesis curriculum.
