On this Catholic Morning Show, Deacon Randy Kiel of Kardia Counseling breaks down why so-called "irreconcilable differences" rarely are, offering a faith-rooted path through marital discord and forgiveness. Steve Kane of the newly formed Iowa Catholic Scholarship Granting Organization explains how Iowa families can claim a federal tax credit worth up to $1,700 to help cover Catholic school costs starting in 2027. Plus, hosts Bo Bonner and Deacon Mark Campbell mark the feast of Saint John Vianney, preview Pope Leo XIV's pastoral visit to Assisi, and share details on the West Bend Grotto's Customer Appreciation Day and Iowa State Fair concert ticket giveaways.
In This Episode Bo Bonner and Deacon Mark Campbell open on the feast of Saint John Vianney and look ahead to Pope Leo XIV's pastoral visit to Assisi, then welcome two guests: Deacon Randy Kiel on navigating marital discord, and Steve Kane on a new tax-credit opportunity for Catholic school families.
Marriage, Discord, and the Myth of "Irreconcilable Differences" Deacon Randy Kiel, a licensed mental health counselor and founder of Kardia Counseling, joins the show for his monthly segment to unpack why "irreconcilable differences" is really a legal term, not a spiritual reality, and walks through how couples can work through hurt, forgiveness, and unmet expectations in light of the sacrament of holy matrimony.

A New Tax Credit for Catholic School Families Steve Kane, board member of the newly formed Iowa Catholic Scholarship Granting Organization (ICSGO), joins to explain how Iowa's four Catholic dioceses have joined together to help families access the new federal Education Freedom Tax Credit. Starting in 2027, donors can receive a 100% federal tax credit for contributions of up to $1,700 to the ICSGO, which will award scholarships to students at any of Iowa's 67 diocesan Catholic schools.
